DTP Splitting Ties with Def Jam?!?

It has been speculated for a long time that Ludacris' company DTP may split ways with Def Jam. Earlier in the week, Ludacris invited a bunch of industry heads including La Reid, out to an event where the DTP RnB acts performed. From what I hear, the performance went south in front of the wrong people. DTP artists Bobby Valentino, Shareefa, and Steph Jones were dropped from the Def Jam label a couple days following the performance. There are also rumors from inside sources that Def Jam plans on clearing out all of DTP except for Luda. What move DTP makes next will be interesting... Do they pull Luda and DTP off of Def Jam completely and move the camp to another label? Is this contractually possible? Do they leave the RnB and other acts out to dry and keep Luda on Def Jam? Let's face it, Ludacris is the negotiation power. Will any other label be willing to carry DTP even if they get Luda with the deal? Certain artists such as Chingy and Bobby Valentino have shown past success in selling albums. What will Luda do? Should be interesting to see how this unfolds but as of now Bobby Valentino, Shareefa, and Steph Jones have all been dropped from Def Jam. Stay tuned here to get exclusive interviews regarding this matter.
