Rihanna Leaves Def Jam for Big Bro Jay Z's Roc Nation (@rihanna, @s_c_)



In a move that should surprise very few, Rihanna has left her home label Def Jam to follow mentor and big brother Hov over to Roc Nation. Jay was the one who signed Riri to Def Jam in the first place while President of the label, so it makes sense that eventually she would officially pick up and follow Mr. Carter.


Jay moved Roc Nation from Columbia Records to Universal a little under a year ago, and its website now lists Rihanna as an artist, as opposed to just under their management which has been in place for quite a while.


Rihanna will be joining artists like J. Cole, Rita Ora, DJ Mustard and of course Hov himself.
