Why did Jay Sean leave cash money?

From 2009 up to 2014, Jay Sean was signed to Cash Money Records.  Jay Sean left Cash Money Records due to a lack of attention and promotion from the label.

In his interview with Kojo and Jade on Capital XTRA In The Morning, he said, “There was just a constant delay and lack of attention and promotion and marketing when it came to my music and it got to the point where I think that ended up happening for pretty much all of the artists on the label”.

He also mentioned that the label wasn’t giving him what he needed. Jay Sean is among a list of artists who have left Cash Money Records, including Busta Rhymes and Mystikal.

Jay Sean’s second single, “Eyes on You” became a Top 10 hit, peaking at #6. He had two UK top 10 hits as a solo artist in 2004: “Eyes on You” at No. 6 and “Stolen” at No. 4.

Jay Sean became the first male act since Chingy in 2003 to “simultaneously appear in the Hot 100 top 10 with his first two charting singles”.
