This weekend, LL Cool J posted a blog on his MySpace page placing the blame for the lackluster sales of his new album squarely on the shoulders of Def Jam.
His new album, Exit 13, hit stores last week and has currently sold only 44,000 copies. He was said to be expecting first week sales in the 300,000 range.
A source close to the record label told MSNBC, “LL is furious. He was so angry at one point that he was beaten by Jessica…he actually threatened to quit rap.” A rep for LL later said “he has no plans to quit now,” and that he’s focusing on celebrating his “sixth consecutive top 10 album in his nearly 25 amazing years in music.”
Jessica Simpson’s first country album was also released last week, selling 65,000 copies and coming in at number 4 on the charts, compared to LL’s 9th place ranking.
