Jay-Z has blasted reports that he’s quitting his position as CEO of Def Jam to concentrate on his rapping.
The rapper took the role after taking time out from his recording career but now Jigga’s picked up the mic again, rumours have been sparked that he will step down from the position.
“Everything is good. I know there's been some rumours I was leaving Def Jam. I'm not leaving Def Jam" he says. “I signed on for three years, so I don't have any plans to move on."
Jay-Z’s new album, Kingdom Come, hits stores next month.
The album is rumoured to feature guest appearances from Kanye West and Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
Kingdom Come is the follow up to 2003’s The Black Album, after which the rapper said he had retired.
"I thought I was retired but my passion for music had other plans for me,” he explains.
"I am overwhelmed with the initial record breaking response. I am happy to be officially back... I can't wait til ya'll hear the album."
It will be released on November 20 and will be followed by the single, Show Me What You Got, on December 3.
