If you have been following Def Jam since the earlier days of the label, then you are probably familiar with Shawn Pecas, who was promoted to Executive Vice President last year.

The man who has worked hard at the hip-hop record label since 2005, is reported to have cut his ties with them, in order to possible move over to a new position Roc Nation Sports.

There’s no official word from the label, or Shawn, on whether the inside speculation is true, but rumor has it that his position at the sports agency will also be an executive one.

We will keep you updated on details to come.
