Jermaine Dupri plans to launch hotel chain

In a recent TV interview Jermaine Dupri talks about his many upcoming business ventures including his cafe, own line of vodka and his plans to open a hotel line called Hotel D. You would think that with all that money, JD could be a bit more original in his entrepreneurial plans considering Jay-Z just announced his plans for his J Hotels. If I was Dupri, I would take advantage of my size and power and perhaps develop a line of toilets designed for little people or maybe a new movie…

Jermaine Dupri and Young Joc Boost Mobile Ads

Less than a week after Boost Mobile announced their new "Anthem 2.0" marketing campaign featuring Jermaine Dupri and Young Jeezy, the campaign has already kicked off via the web. Here is a look at two banners that Boost is already putting out online. The scary rocker dude that looks like Mystery from that VH1 show "The Pick Up Artist" is Micky Avalon.

Jermaine Dupri & Young Jeezy in new Boost Mobile ad

Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri will be part of Boost Mobile’s next "Anthem 2.0" marketing campaign. The pair will be featured in a 3-D animated music video-style commercial along with Mickey Avalon and will highlight "levels" or
"stages" of success all while incorporating Boost Mobile’s latest
pay-as-you-go handset, the Motorola i425.

It does seem a bit ironic that the commercial will be about moving up the success ladder but is promoting a $39.99 phone. Maybe it starts off that they are poor and can only afford the Motorola then move up to the iPhone when they made it big. But I guess that would defeat the purpose of the commercial.

Update on Jermaine Dupri’s new book

As we announced two months ago, Jermaine Dupri has been busy getting ready for the launch of his new book "Young, Rich and Dangerous" which comes out next Monday. I thought the book would be about Jermaine’s personal accounts of living life as a Small Person (I believe that is the correct terminology) but apparently he writes about stuff such as his rise to fame, finding talent (Kris Kross, Bow Wow), and his relationship with Michael..I mean Janet Jackson.

The publisher has recently released an excerpt from his book. It’s pretty clear that he had help writing this because…well…you can understand it. It’s actually pretty interesting because he talks about Kris Kross…anything about Kris Kross is interesting. To read the excerpt head to the publisher site.
