Jason Derulo To Drop Music After Next Release

Published: Wednesday 6th Jul 2011 by Rashad

Dancing machine Jason Derulo made a shocking announcement to MTV News revealing plans to take an extended break from music (after just two albums) to focus on acting.  The announcement comes shortly after the ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’ singer, whose sophomore album ‘Future History’ will hit stores in September, reportedly passed on an opportunity to play famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix in a biopic.

In reference to the role’s declination, the Miami native stated:

“I really wanted to make sure it [the Future History album] gets the exposure it deserves. It has to be heard by everybody. After this album, I will dive full-throttle into movies for a while. I will ultimately take a break from music.”

    who the hell cares? seriously, all these talentless mofos who luck up on a music career need to thank their lucky stars, keep their damns mouths shut and ride it til the wheels fall off. oh to to young and dumb!!!

  2. whelhw July 6, 2011

    He’s a talented singer/dancer and he’s like a new “usher”.
    I think this would be a bad career move as I think he should do at least another album and get his name well famed before he tries to do acting because if it all goes wrong it will be harder for him to fall back onto his music.

    Anyway its his life and his desicions. Can’t wait for the new album as the previous one had great singles

  3. CHECKEDSHIRTCHRIS July 6, 2011

    YASSSS. Glad this b**** is gone!
    Still can’t believe he sampled that song ¬_¬

  4. Jb July 6, 2011

    This is wat rihanna should do. Except for a break she needs to stop music forever! 😛

  5. bey’knight July 6, 2011

    great news for music buffs

  6. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 6, 2011

    THANK GOD HE’S DROPPING MUSIC
    JASON BABY DROP IT LIKE IT’S HOT

    (ROFL @ the fact that he thinks his album is going to be epic…Future History??? I wouldn’t bet money on it)

  7. King B July 6, 2011

    Wait, wait, wait… he was offered to play Jimi Hendrix in a biopic about him? Did I read that right?

    I’d like to meet the dumbasses that thought this was even a remotely good idea. Jesus. I mean, that makes about as much sense as Justin Bieber playing John Lennon.

  8. sho July 6, 2011

    and wait til he finds out no one gives a damn anyway. gtfoh mr. derulo

  9. CHECKEDSHIRTCHRIS July 6, 2011

    LOL @KING B
    When I read that, I almost fell off of my damn bed. Was literally just side eyeing so hard!

    So glad he is gone! I guess he can write songs for other artists now? =/ LOLJK. GURLBYE

  10. SWEETY NATALIE (A.K.A. ICON) July 6, 2011

    GOOD RIDDANCE! His music is radio tosh. LOL his album is called ‘Future History’. Nothing Jason will do will be historic whether it’s music, movies or whatever. In my eyes. Jason IS history and will not be missed or remembered in few years.

    @TB

    Spill that true tea. Jason Derulo is like the worst person to play Jim Hendrix. I feel sorry for the man. :p

  11. JJFAN1814 July 6, 2011

    Ah good for him. 🙂

  12. gio88 July 6, 2011

    WHO CARESSSSSS

  13. Rosie July 6, 2011

    yes! he now understands he can no longer copy the greats that came way before him.
    but it’s funny to see how long these talentless people last in this industry.
    now flo rida needs to go, Jay sean needs to go, taio cruz needs to go, new boyz need to go, Iyaz needs to go, and Lloyd needs to go!

  14. sho July 6, 2011

    one down, so many more to go… *sighs

  15. RIHANNA BEYONCE FAN NOT STAN July 7, 2011

    I like him alot

    Sidebar. Haters always comment first. Yet u dont care. Oh OK then.

  16. Christian July 7, 2011

    BYE!!!!!

  17. AUNTY July 7, 2011

  18. omzir July 7, 2011

    future history? thank god it’s never going to be present history.. yeah keep chasing that one Jason Derusional.

  19. HaYYYYYYYYYYYy July 7, 2011

    and im sure the radios will miss him…
    NEXT!!!

  20. MusicFan July 7, 2011

    I like his new song, but I have ALWAYS hated his music.

  21. The Man July 7, 2011

    He isn’t even a major artist, and i don’t think it really matters if he wants to stop doing music, he really brings nothing new to the table. New Usher? Your kidding right? Not even close.

  22. Haiku July 7, 2011

    Good luck to him but he wont be missed.

  23. Dollar$ign$kills July 7, 2011

    He needs to just stop. He’s talented but his music is garbage. His sound and moves are a rip off of Ushers new sound and moves, and Ushers new sound is a rip off of Taio Cruz’s sound. Both him and Usher need to refresh and stop biting Taio. It’s no wonder male acts have been doing bad, they all sound the same

  24. Slaydele July 7, 2011

    His career is stable enough for him to be taking breaks. Don’t go on break if you can’t even go gold

  25. brettingsworth July 7, 2011

    HALLELUJAH!!!!!! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! THIS ZESTY WHINY VOCALIST NEEDS TO TAKE A PERMANENT BREAK! CAN I GET A WITNESS?

  26. Ramiro July 7, 2011

    Lmao! Amen amen! Lloyd I see you… The spirit is getting you next!
    Like Satan I command you to be gone. Lmao

  27. VA STAND UP!! July 7, 2011

    LMAO at ‘dancing machine’! Um….yeah right! And *DEAD* at his album being called ‘Future History’. Yeah…ok Jason. Lol!

    Well judging by the comments in here it seems like no one is gonna miss him! This is actually the best news I’ve heard about him since he came out! Lol! But is it really a good idea to announce that you are gonna take a break from music before your album even drops? I mean I don’t think his album is ‘highly anticipated’ or anything but why tell people that you want to take a break? I have a feeling he knows this album isn’t going to do well & he wants to delve into a new avenue so he can make it seem like he ‘left’ by choice instead of cause he had no choice.

    Does anyone know if he can act?! Has he done it before? From his lil clips in his vidoes it doesn’t really seem like it. Who the hell is offering him roles? Well hopefully his album will be better than his singing/dancing. We shall see….

  39. Misty Jean July 7, 2011

    Haha, this is great news. The media was trying to replace Chris with this watered down pop version. NO!

  40. The Perrylicious is taking over… (everyone on TGJ loves me) July 7, 2011

    Awww…i love his music. 🙁

  41. nice_gurl July 7, 2011

    He’s only released a few singles and I probably won’t miss him anyway. I need some good music to listen to and all i’m getting is the same autotune, dance songs.

  42. MRB July 7, 2011

    LMFAO! YALL CANT BE SERIOUS?????? THIS MAN IS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. devon July 7, 2011

    @dollar$ign$kill you don’t even know wtf your talking bout…usher is the ship hop!..jason derulo first single came out way before usher decided to do pop before usher threw shade @ ppl like him & taio for doing pop music flash forward & we have lady gaga b-side leftover redone tracks; More,Rockband, & dr. Luke dj got us falling in love..second ushers moves?..what moves?..chris brown,jasan derulo, hell even justin bieber anybody is better than ushers boring non comlicated steps…..I never got why usher ir justin timberlake considered themselves hardcore dancers. They never did anything that anyone else couldn’t do at home
    Now Chris brown, Ciara, Janet Jackson, Boa those are real dancers!

  45. Nayla July 7, 2011

    Ripped off usher’s dance moves you mean like how usher ripped off Michael Jackson’s dance moves? But really nobody cares about him he’s just anot he another MJ wannabe. A new single thanks but no thanks.
