DJ Khaled To Oversee Mariah Carey’s Career?

DJ Khaled is said to be hard at work on plans which he hopes will see him replace L.A. 

Reid at Epic.

Reid’s fans will know that he was forced to abandon his role as CEO at the label 

following the unearthing of sexual assault allegations leaving the position open.

Home to Mariah Carey, Zara Larrson, Jennifer Lopez and Fifth Harmony, 

Epic falls under the Sony umbrella and is now on the hunt for a money-making

 industry power player to fill Reid’s multi-platinum shoes.

A source close to Khaled said of his plans…
He was petitioning to get that job. He’s like, ‘I make more happen than anyone 

in the game, why would I not be considered to run the label. Khaled is a big hype 

machine — not a person who’s running a record label. My guess is [Sony Music 

UK CEO] Jason Iley will run either Columbia or Epic or they will take 

[RCA president] Tom Corson . . . and put him at Columbia or Epic.

If he gets his way, Khaled would be charged with overseeing the careers of th 

aforementioned acts and steering the label to new creative ground as it continues

 to find its feet.
