Dupri issued a statement to Billboard confirming the split:
“I’m a very hands-on person when it comes to my work,” Dupri said. “I put my all into every project. But when I’m not allowed to do what I do, then I know it’s time for me to move on. Mariah and I enjoy working together and will continue to make great music together in the future.”
Kevin Liles is reportedly taking over management duties for the pop icon.
