Sources close to Kanye West have reportedly denied claims that he is to leave the management arm of Jay Brown‘s Roc Nation.

An update on this story below…

The industry publication HITS DAILY DOUBLE surprised fans when they published a report claiming West had fired the management company before the release of his new album ‘Swish.’

Now, sources close to Roc have used ‘Complex’ magazine to blast that report by denying its claims, hitting back with news that West has no intentions of parting with them or his role as executive producer on Rihanna’s eighth studio album.

The publication shares:

A source close to the situation told Complex that Kanye is not, and has no plans to, leave Roc Nation. To back up the source’s information even further, ‘Ye is still listed on the artist pageon the Roc Nation site, which you can see for yourself here.

Kanye recently split with his longtime agent Cara Lewis and CAA, but again, that is separate from his management deal with Roc Nation.

    YAWN this site full off bull

    • Letter to Rihanna May 7, 2015

      Actually it’s not.
      HDD is very credible and they wouldn’t have put that up if it wasn’t true. You stans need to look beyond what you’re told and read between the lines. Why would HDD pluck that out of their asses? Just accept that you don’t want to believe that it’s true but it is and David is trying to do damage control because he likes Rihanna.

    • RWait May 7, 2015

      I have to be fair, I don’t think TGJ or HDD were lying. My sister works at UMG and she says that Kanye has been trying to leave for months.

    • You tried May 7, 2015

      Uh go back to the first post and see what I said! OF COURSE IT WAS LIES! Slow news day HUH lmao

  2. Regina George May 7, 2015

    Oh… Just when I thought he had a lil sense

  3. King B May 7, 2015

    When those pay checks cleared

    • HMMM May 7, 2015

      Sorry he is LEAVING. Roc Nation can’t keep him. Jay knows wihtout Kanye Roc Nation aint S***. PR control

  4. Keri Qween May 7, 2015

    Lol egg on all yalls faces

    I knew it wasn’t true

    Now Caesar fans can get back to worrying about Jacked selling 100k total and Caesar being dropped, the h/I/v can worry about their whoring fave having a mid life crisis being naked everywhere like a thot

    • Bey Sting May 7, 2015

      You are so dumb! Do you think that HDD decided to tell a lie on Roc today RANDOMLY! This is called damage control and David (who is a Roc employee) is helping them do it.
      Do NOT forget how he shamelessly plugged Rita even before anyone knew who she was and how his biased ass refuses to report anything remotely bad about Riwhore since she started this era.
      Roc is running scared because Tidal is flopping and know how bad s*** will look if Kanye leaves them which is why they ran to complex to try and get them to fool the NAYvi.

      David dear, you tried but you won’t fool me. Kanye DOES want to leave.

      • HMMM May 7, 2015

        BOOM.

    • TheElusiveLamb May 7, 2015

      Lol ok? Still bragging on the accolades of Riri I see. Can you not answer my question? Why did that entire list I just wrote of Kershaw FLOP? Why is the highlight of Kershaw’s career having Beyoncè CDs thrown at her? Her biggest venue is a Wal-Mart (not even a super center) parking lot? Why must you cling to the hair on Marsha’s balls, slurp the n** dry from Riri’s d***, and never bring up your fav’s album sales?

      Where is my reply Kremlin??

      • Keri Qween May 7, 2015

        #mooooooo

        ????????????????????????????????????????

      • TheElusiveLamb May 7, 2015

        That’s it? That was almost as pathetic as seeing your fav perform on aisle 5 in Wal-Mart. Oh well. Back to the bird nest you go.

      • TheElusiveLamb May 7, 2015

        ????????????????????????

      • Keri Qween May 7, 2015

        Can you tell me what number infinity is on iTunes? ????????????????????????????????????

      • TheElusiveLamb May 7, 2015

        Sure as soon as you give me the Worldwide sales of No Certifications Allowed, Enermax, I Flop, among others including her RECORD BREAKING flop with Xzibit. ????????????????????????????????????????????????

      • Keri Qween May 7, 2015

        But every single from me I am mariah the elephant chanteuse flopped until Miguel saved the day with that one song

      • TheElusiveLamb May 7, 2015

        Sweetheart Mariah only released three official singles and sure two flopped, but that outsold everything released from No Certifications Allowed excluding Power Bottom Rock. Miguel didn’t save anyone. Mimi saved herself. Why can Mimi book stages & interviews (Jimmy Kimmel, Billboard Awards, GMA, Today & etc), as well as do a WORLD tour with her flops, but Kershaw can’t?? You stay trying it with your flop fav. Your fav can’t sing, dance, or stay relevant. She’s a has been with only two albums. Poor bird can’t even leave the nest. I guess one of those Beyoncè CDs thrown at her must have broken one of her wings. 🙁

    • Pray for #R8 May 7, 2015

      Lmao. You mean egg on the faces of the navy. The navy who was celebrating from the mountains that he wasn’t working on the album anymore that she didn’t need him and it would get better! Death! #prayforR8

      • Naomi May 7, 2015

        Háha my thoughts exactly.

      • Keri Qween May 7, 2015

        ^ The h/i/v is so pressed.

  5. meme Leakes May 7, 2015

    I dragged TGJ on twitter for this and now i feel hella bad. The Navy have to be stupid to stan for Rihanna which is why they don’t know how to process information that doesn’t come from her.
    Common sense told me that Hdd would never spill tea that wasn’t true and that David would never repeat anything negative about Rihanna since he’s her resident supporter on here.

    I guess Jay convinced him to stay when they found out the tea had been spilled.

    Bloop.

  6. Antmo May 7, 2015

    Zzzzzzz

  7. RihYonce May 7, 2015

    Of course he isn’t leaving ????????????

  8. NoHateNoShade May 7, 2015

    Yall missed the most important part though.. That he is still producing R8.. ???? F***! his management..

    • Lana Del Bae May 7, 2015

      So where did HDD get the story from? Their imagination? Don’t forget how Rihanna tried to deny that Chris had hit her once before the time we know about until Diane Sawyer exposed her live on air.
      As Jay says. Men lie, women lie. Tidal’s numbers don’t.

  9. Quinton251 aka Lil Wayne Stan May 7, 2015

    Please that camel Jay Z ain’t letting this fool go nowhere.

  10. Dana May 7, 2015

    I am crying at the stupidity in here right now. We’re expected to believe Complex over HDD? I cannot. Bey needs to not let Jay bring her down because all of this Tidal mess is bringing her brand downe.

  11. Naomi May 7, 2015

    Whether he is or not. He ain’t helping Rihanna. He is Beyhive all day after all.

    • datreddone23 May 7, 2015

      Well he sure as hell was eager to do a song with Rih and future her in his video Paranoid so looks like he’s team Rih aswell

      • Naomi May 7, 2015

        Butch hush we all know Kanyes only thinking about his own gains when it comes to her.

  12. HMMM May 7, 2015

    B******* LMAO Kanye wants to leave BADLY. In fact he WILL. Sorry Jay.

  13. HMMM May 7, 2015

    David you PR w****. The damage has been done, Kanye put that report out for a reason he wants OUT. With Kanye leaving that’s a nail in the coffin for Roc Nation. Give it up Jay.

  14. datreddone23 May 7, 2015

    Yaasss at Kerry Washington living for and praising Rihanna last night on Jimmy Fallon !!

    Also Anna Wintour just did a an interview praising Rih too!

    Yaas my b**** has that power and respect!

  15. Yeah I Said It May 7, 2015

    Sam, Beyonce is doing a photo shoot for Givency.

  16. Special Delivery May 7, 2015

    Welp it looks like Roc Nation isn’t going down after all. The only sinking ship is the Titanic stans.

    • HMMM May 7, 2015

  17. ratedxxx May 7, 2015

  18. WHO ME? WHO YOU, CHILE? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYANNA) May 7, 2015

    He better save himself while he still has the chance because the window is getting smaller, but it’s still open. Oh, wait….I forgot! He’s ruining his own career flawlessly and he doesn’t even give a damn to salvage the damage he’s already done to his brand. Complete kii!

  19. Tyler Makaveli May 7, 2015

    So he’s still producing R8!?
    Ha! its a lose for Rihanna either way SMDH.

  20. OMG Logic!!! May 7, 2015

    Probably got threatened with a lawsuit by the Camel.

  21. @FutureCIARA May 7, 2015

    If he stays, its because Beyonce convinced him too, He is her #1 BeyHive Stan!

  22. Arie May 8, 2015

    It’s only a matter of time, you know something’s up when they have to do damage control. Jay’s right hand man left and now here we are.

  23. Royalkev May 8, 2015

    Kanye’s not going anywhere! Although I’m sure he gets tired of being Jay’s sidekick (when he’s more Batman than Robin).

  24. You wanna love it right bettor then my funky money May 8, 2015

    Somebody will make up dumb silly things about him and good for him cause he ain’t going nowhere
