(AllHipHop News) Capitol comeback. Less than three months after 50 Cent left Interscope Records to sign with Caroiline/Capitol Records, The-Dream has followed suit.

A month before 50 Cent announced his severing of ties with Interscope Records, The-Dream announced on his personal Instagram account that he was leaving Def Jam after seven years. The-Dream did not formally announce his signing to Capitol Records, however as Hip Hop-N-More reports, his latest iTunes single “Black” has his label listed as “Capitol Records”:

Two years earlier it was rumored that The-Dream was set to sign with frequent collaborator Jay Z’s Roc Nation. During a 2012 interview with MTV’s RapFix Live, Dream stated that Roc Nation was his “family” but “I’m not signing with Roc Nation.”
