I swore I would not write any more epitaphs this year, but this one comes as a complete shock. Not a lot of information is known about the situation yet except that Def Jam executive Vice-president Shakir Stewart reportedly committed suicide in Atlanta today.
Shakir’s career successes included signing Beyonce at Hitco and, as executive VP of Def Jam, several of Def Jam’s top-selling artists over the last few years, including Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Shakir’s friends and family & to his extended family at Def Jam.
