Finally Official: L.A. Reid Steps Down From UMG Post



















Amid rumors of him being named as a judge for the X-factor show, Antonio "L.A." Reid has resigned his position as Chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group. Reid confirmed the news in an email to his IDJ family.



A note from Reid was released to his staff online at Showbiz411.com via Roger Freidman :


To my Island Def Jam family:

After much consideration, I have decided to leave my position as Chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group.

I have always thrived on growth and the next great challenge, and I look forward with much enthusiasm to what the future holds.

I am extremely proud of our beautiful roster and all we have accomplished in my seven years with IDJ. We continue to have incredible success together with today’s most phenomenal superstars – Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Bon Jovi, Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo, Rick Ross, The Killers, The Dream, Chrisette Michele, Jeezy and Ludacris to name a few.

I want to thank all of you for your amazing contributions.

With Warm Regards –
LA
