Def Jam Deny Dropping Nas Over Controversial Album Title

Nas will not be dropped by his label Def Jam, despite rumours earlier in the week that suggested the company were unhappy with the rapper naming his new album as "Nigger".

Reports stated that Nas was refusing to change the title of his next long-player, which led to the decision to release him of his contract.

However, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Def Jam rubbished the allegations saying "That is absolutely ridiculous and untrue."

Nigger has caused much controversy since its title was named last year, but it will continue to be released next month.
