Kevin Liles Says Fat Joe is Still With Atlantic
March 15, 2006
Kevin Liles defiantly shot down rumors about Fat Joe being dropped from Atlantic Records live on the air with radio veteran Ed Lover on Power 105 Tuesday afternoon.
"I don't know how that (rumor) started," Liles, the Executive Vice President of the Warner Music Group, told Lover about Fat Joe being cut from Atlantic's roster. "Joe has been with Atlantic for nine years and we set up a situation where Joe could make a lot of money.
"Joe is going to be cashing big checks."
After making that absolutely clear, Liles went on to tell Lover his big goal.
"Every 12-18 months, I want to introduce a new artist," Liles said.
Among the artists he's currently ready, willing and able to push are Bad Boy's R&B sweetheart Cheri Dennis and MC Young Joc, of Block Entertainment/Bad Boy South/Warner Music Group.
