L.A. Reid Leaving Def Jam for X Factor
XXL reports:
Rumors of Antonio “L.A.” Reid leaving his position as chairman of Island Def Jam have been circulating for some time now but now it finally seems to be true.
A source revealed to Billboard that Reid will be leaving the label to become a judge on Simon Cowell’s upcoming TV show The X Factor. The American version of the popular British series. The show will air on Fox in September while Ried’s contract with the record label was set to expire in December.
Steve Bartles will reportedly remain in charge of Island Def Jam while Barry Weiss, previously at Sony Music, will help oversee the historic hip-hop label.
Reps for Universal Music Group, IDJ’s parent company, have yet to return calls for comment from XXLMag.com.
Many are speculating that Reid will eventually join his former Universal boss Doug Morris at Sony The industry heavyweight will become CEO of Sony Music on July 1 and the grand prize for the winner of The X Factor is a $5 million dollar contract with the label.
Reid was appointed to the coveted role at Def Jam back in February of 2004, succeeding longtime label head Lyor Cohen. The record exec is responsible for signing such big name acts as Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and most recently Shyne.

Ya Def Jam hasn't been the same since Russell Simmons left. LA also bought some corny people to the label to. I think Sony will be a better fit for him.

"Fighting in a loud, pro-Froch environment will give Kessler an added task to overcome. On top of boxing intelligent, he'll need to make sure rounds aren’t close, because those will likely go to the hometown fighter."
James A. Hunter commented on James A. Hunter's photoNana Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler Live Stream HBO Boxing Online Free
"Since beating Froch the first time, Kessler has not faced the highest level of opposition. He will be trying to prove that, at 34 years old, he is not only capable of competing with the best, but also defeating them."

"Those are strong words, but it just shows how much this bout truly means to him. With the London fans behind him, Froch will be looking to turn in a dynamic performance against one of only two men to have beaten him."

"As reported earlier in the week by Kevin Francis of BoxingScene.com and the Daily Star, Froch took the pre-fight hype to a different level on Wednesday when he said he would kill Kessler if he had to."
