Mariah Carey Leaves Violator Management For Randy Jackson

Randy Jackson is adding an A-lister to his dawg pound. The “American Idol” judge is negotiating a deal to manage Mariah Carey’s career, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The duo know each other from their Columbia Records days when Jackson was vice president of A&R during the 1990s and Carey was signed to the label from 1988 to 2001.

Carey, who gave birth to twins in April, was previously signed to Chris Lighty’s Violator Entertainment, which represents such artists as 50 Cent, LL Cool J and Soulja Boy. In September, the company merged with Primary Wave, management home to Cee-Lo Green and Eric Benet.
