The-Dream and L.A. Reid have been fired from Def Jam, according to Gyant Unplugged.

Vin Vivendi, a french international media conglomerate, with activities in music, television, film, and telecommunications, is reportedly behind the firing, claiming The-Dream as well as LA Reid are out due to disappointing sales figures and exuberant spending.

The-Dream was Vice President of Island Def Jam; L.A. Reid was Chairman and CEO.
