According to former Synthesis hip-hop inspector turned freelance-scribe-for-hire (meaning, if you run a hip-hop mag you should drop him a line) C.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: “He wanted big, big money from the owners Universal Music and that was way out of sync with the realities of today’s record business. “L.A. Reid, the Chief Executive Officer of Island/ Def Jam Records, and his boss Doug Morris have found Jay-Z’s demands excessive in light of the amount of time he’s spent on tour. “Everyone knows he’s not around the office [...]
