August Alsina Rages At Def Jam After Album Drops Early

Is Def Jam mishandling its artists?

50 Cent just criticized the label on Jeremih's behalf after Jeremih's album Late Nights completely flopped this week.

Now August Alsina -- another one of the label's R&B stars -- has taken it upon himself to rip Def Jam after it released his album This Thing Called Life a day early on Vevo and YouTube.

A few hours later, Alsina switched social media mediums and backed away a bit from his harsh words.

To Whom It May Concern, #ThisThingCalledLife is officially out on Dec.11th

Since Alsina's outburst, the album stream has been removed from the Internet. It should be back up tomorrow.
