One source revealed to the publication that the split was “amicable and mutual,” while a separate source claims it was not Meneilly’s choice to break from Jay. The decision was apparently made several months ago.

The former Provident Financial executive has reportedly helped navigate the Brooklyn emcee’s business moves for years including the unprecedented Magna Carta Holy Grail Samsung deal last year. Meneilly was also an instrumental player at Jay’s Roc Nation.
