According to SOHH.com, Busta Rhymes has thrown in the towel on Aftermath / Interscope and has now signed a deal with Universal Motown.

Earlier in the week, rumors circulated about Busta being dropped from Interscope.

“I can’t confirm or deny anything,” an Interscope / Aftermath representative told SOHH regarding the rumors on Busta.

After facing a number of setbacks on the release of his eighth studio album, Blessed, the album is now slated to be released through Universal Motown.

According to Wikipedia.com the album will be released on December 9, 2008.

The album, which was previously titled Before Hell Freezes Over, and later changed to Back on My Bullshit, was originally planned for release in 2007.

Motown Records, now home to Busta Rhymes, is also the home of rappers Lil Wayne and Chamillionaire.

Wow Interscope must be having problems. whats next Eminem gonna be dropped??

this is a huuuuuuuuuuudge loss to aftermath/interscope as busta was killin it. busta was in the limelight, he was the publicity. he was on fire. big loss.

wtf is wrong with these massive companies that they can't keep real talent? maybe they went to Bust and said "eh, just pump out some bs commercial candy raps and u can do the real stuff in the mixtape" and Bust said no deal?

Many how many people have to leave Aftermath and Interscope when they people left or dropped are real talent, but they keep that nigga 50 cent around where TOS sucked ass and sold shit!

Dont understand Dre and Jimmy!

wtf... wrong decision aftermath/interscope's part.
