: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of an interesting rumor. Word is that Jive Records has been trying its best to sell Chris Brown's contract and to cut their losses on the embattled R&B singer.
The label was in deep negotiations with Diddy over at Bad Boy, but that fell through.
And now word is that Jive may just end up dropping Chris - without even getting a penny in return.
Dayum ... We're sure sure somebody would be interested in picking up that contract ... maybe Don King ... or how about Vince McMahon?

I dont know if that would be a smart business move yet, I would let him release another album and depending on how that goes proceed from there.

Why would the CEO of Jive write a character reference for Chris describing him as a quasi "son?" You don't get that kind of treatment if you're about to be dropped. Chris is a money-making machine. And as long as his album sells, he will be employed. And it will sell, if all of his rabid fans have anything to do with it. Not to mention he's an up and coming song writer. Heard of Stronger by Mary J Blige? That's Chris.
Damn, it seems like he is gonna have to charge his career to the game People just won't get over this shyt with Rihanna. Oh well. He made his bed and now he has to lay in it. Damn Chris, whatever happened to MOB?? You should've lived by that saying that night especially! Rhi-Rhi got ur shyt all phucked up!!
Chris Brown it was good that Sean didn't pick you up the best he had going in recent times was Danity Kane because of that show (I don't recall wiggling my hips to anything good.) A couple of gold's here and there with danity kane being platnium. WOW
Your decision making has not been on point. The club whilst on probation is a no no. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER if you don't want this mess to bit you on the butt. I think that BOTH of you or neither of you should have gotten into trouble, but since it was only you, just follow the rules, stay productive,and STAY AWAY FROM CAREER KILLING P DIDDY!
Lol....that's what he gets, but he has paid his dues though. Feel sorry for him A LITTLE.

He just had a breakthrough on the I-tunes charts sparked by the infamous wedding video...which means he still has commercial value. They aren't letting him go, at least not until after they see how this interview goes. I personally loathe him but he'll probably be around. Hey, didn't that movie get pushed back because of his troubles?
Damn, so he's beyond redemption? This is a joke if he gets dropped. Other people in his field have done alot worse AT AN OLDER AGE, yet he has been crucified by the press and 'holier than thou' people from the sidelines.
I doubt anyone disputes what he did is wrong, but this is just another case of the black man being made the scapegoat, just like Mike Vick.
It makes me sick to my stomach that even his so called 'own' people, are loving the fact that he may be out of work for a mistake he made. (Peeps love to negate it takes two to tango)
Keep your head up Chris.
Lol@ that pic of Chris Brown,he look crazy. But on the serious note,its sad if Jive records does drop Chris Brown.I hope that another record label sign him on soon.Fred,I know why you said that Don King and Vince McMahon could help Chris Brown, you think that he could become a paid fighter because he hit Rihanna?that was cold! Chris will make a comeback and he will be fine.
I can see that. He's not marketable anymore. Any label who signs him and markets him is gonna be viewed as supporting domestic violence and sayin what he did is ok to treat women that way. Feel sorry for dude cuz he was/is talented. Just not sure anyone would take that risk by adding him to their compnay. His sales will probly be short too
Chris brown was triflin for hitting a woman but he is human and makes mistakes. If eveyone would stop putting these mofo's on a pedestal and see them like they see themselves. They probably would give him another chance. The sad part is that people can't deal with these stars being real people like you and me.
@HANDSOMESTALLION . . Please, go on ahead and school these folks! I'm so sick of people treating Chris like he has some contagious disease! No one is saying what he did was ok by any means however he is young and hopefully will learn from this mistake. There is absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be forgiven because last time I checked there was no perfect person living . . Who are you to decide degrees of sin? SMH!
sorry to hear about him getting dropped. He is very talented and it's because of his personal life it affects his singing career, what a shame. When all this dies down the record label may regret dropping him. I still forgive u chris, everyone makes mistakes, and u are paying for that now. sign: nae-baby, scorpio nov. 10
You have battered boyfriends syndrome, and snapped after suffering abuse for so long.
Damn people and their double standards.
Find something productive to do and stay away from the clubs. Stay away from people that tell your anything irrational. Whomever said "You're on probation man let got to the club and celebrate" is not your friend. Drop'em like a hot potato. Watch the company that you keep!
@PUSSYMONSTER
He's making $$ for the label as we speak. Do you know how much song writing he does? And producing? He has his hands in more than just singing/dancing. He makes a lot of $$ for Jive. He just got out of the studio with Justin Timberlake, who's also with Jive. Why do you think that is? Cause Jive wants a comeback!
people need to understand that it has nothing to do with talent (all chris has is that he's a good dancer) or giving him a second chance, chris brown entire image has the boy next door with a slight edge and that image has been destroyed.... he hasn't been in the game long enough to have a hard core fan base so basically Jive will have problems trying to re-market him and his music. as far as chris being a writer, he doesnt own his publishing rights so he only receives about 10-15% of the royalties. production wise he is on the level of beyonce,meaning he just gives suggestions about the track
Chris Brown deserve his probation but he doesn't deserve to lose his recording deal. We're supporting these artists for their music, not their lifestyle. Many artists in the past have skeletons but it never got to point of losing their record deals. Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Notorious B.I.G are a few artists who abused women as well.
@Dreayonn--Thanks for some common sense!
@dade_boi
How do you know what percentage he owns? Are you Chris Brown or his management? Speak up now, if so. And are you in the music studio to know what he does? Speak up now, if so. Please provide some proof. And if he only gets 10-15% of his royalties, who gets the other 85-90%?
He ain't finished. He can start his own shiit. MTO ya'll sound real crazy this afternoon. Whoever doesn't buy the CD is also crazy. That is his personal life. I could care less. I still listen to micheal and R. Kelly and they were suspected of some real sick shiit. Every body still did. Their careers didn't end cause of that. Just like ppl still buy their stuff. ppl will buy chris' albums too. I haven't bought an R&B album in a long time not since anthony hamilton's first album. i WILL BE BUYING CHRIS' AS SOON AS IT HITS STORES.

Say it again!
Anybody would be stupid to drop Chris anytime in the near, interim, or distant future.

where is Lil Wayne when u need him.all this bullshit over that dirty ass bitch Rihanna i swear if i ever see her imma beat her ass worse then wtf he did.wtf she thought she was gon come over here & get over on a black man in america she must be stupid she shoulda kept all of that dumb [EXPLETIVE] in barbados where she came from.
wow, they really sending breezy through the ringer for a crime that they were both equally involved in. question: is rhi rhi going to lose her contract; will she have to perform community service; and or hit with probation? i don't think so. keep ur head up chris....young money will be phoning u soon. just don't get caught leaking your own song.
I'm sorry but there are some things about this whole case that don't make sense. Why would Jive records drop Chris brown for something that "allegedly" occurred, when they didn't drop R.Kelly when there was tape evidence of what he did? How can something like this happen during grammy weekend after a party in LA and NO ONE WITH A CELL PHONE saw this happen?
plz stop hateing on my guy- everybody acts like chis is the only man who's ever had a physical altercation with they're signifigant other. I don't condone domestic abuse but give the guy a break, he's still young and we all make mistakes. He's extremely talented and i along with other loyal fans will continue to support him. And let's not forget there's two sides to every story!
If this is true, I had a feeling this would come up. A lot of people can't stand him now, and the label is probably scared to take the risk for a new album.

CHRIS IS NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE MADE A MISTAKE AND WON'T BE THE LAST. WRONG IS WRONG AND HE WAS WRONG BUT NO ONE IS PERFECT I'M CERTAINLY NOT. RUIN HIS CAREER -IT SHOULDN'T. UNDERSTAND BECAUSE HE'S A ARTIST DOES NOT ERASE THE FACT THAT HE IS HUMAN. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP CHRIS AND THIS TO SHALL PASS
