Shakir Stewart, Executive V.P. of Def Jam Recordings, was found dead in his Marietta, GA home yesterday according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Shakir, who was 34, died of a self inflicted gunshot wound.
Stewart, who had succeeded Jay-Z as Executive V.P. at Def Jam, had A&R'd some of label's biggest artists, including Young Jeezy.
This is so very sad. So young. So successful. What kind of demons do you have at 34 that lead you to take your own life?
