Rihanna exits Def Jam records

Rihanna at last night's Met Gala

Jay Z signed Rihanna to Def Jam records while he was the President of Def Jam. In 2009, Jay Z left Def Jam to head Roc Nation. However, Roc Nation continued to manage Rihanna. Rihanna's exit from Def Jam means Jay Z's Roc Nation is both Rihanna's record label and management. Rihanna's new album is due out later this year.
