GOT7 Jay B Contract Terminated — Find Out What Led to the Controversial Split From Agency
On July 22, 2023 - In a recent development that took the K-pop world by surprise, singer JAY B of GOT7 has decided to terminate his exclusive contract with Cadenza Records. The news was confirmed by the agency itself, which expressed gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support towards JB.
Controversies Surrounding JB's Termination of Contract
The decision to part ways comes after a period of thoughtful consideration, according to a statement released by Cadenza Records on the 22nd. JB had signed the exclusive contract with the label in September of the previous year, following the expiration of his contract with JYP Entertainment.
During the past seven months under Cadenza Records, the talented artist has also been serving as a social worker since February, further adding to the intrigue surrounding his unexpected departure.
However, the termination of the contract is not without its share of controversy. On the 18th, an online community surfaced with the contents of direct messages (DMs) exchanged between JB and non-celebrity women, raising eyebrows and causing public debate.
In these private messages, JB appeared to express interest in one woman, inquiring about her activities and suggesting her frequent visits to clubs.
This is not the first time JB has found himself at the center of controversy. Back in May 2021, prior to the release of a new song, he faced backlash for inadvertently revealing a room with explicit pictures of women during a live broadcast.
