Jay-Z gave Rihanna her first deal by signing the then 17 year old singer back in 2005 when Jay was head of Def Jam. I believe we all knew this move would eventually take place with Rih signing to Hov’s Roc Nation for management. Looks like Rihanna is making the full move.
A few changes has been made on Roc Nation’s website as Rihanna is now listed as an artist on the label opposed to just management. Def Jam’s website now has her listed under the Legacy section.
Some say Jay-Z isn’t successful when running his own label and only he reaps the benefits. To each its own. We will see how things play out.
