Super producer and So So Def label owner Jermaine Dupri celebrated his birthday last night at Atlanta’s very posh Gold Room. The party was full of stars, like Usher, Dondria, Bryan Michael Cox, and Jagged Edge, who all came out to live it up and bring in a new year with J.D.
The fête seemed to be going well for a brief 35 minutes, according to TMZ. Then, Gold Room owner Alex Gidewon confronted Jagged Edge members about their getup. Gidewon tried to compromise with their baggy jeans, Timberlands, and hoodies since it was Dupri’s birthday, but did ask that they lose their hats. When members of the R&B group (which by photos appears to only be twins Brandon and Brian Casey) refused, they were told to leave. This made the birthday boy very upset, and he and his R&B group allegedly began cussing out security. This, of course, lead to all of them getting the boot.
Sources told TMZ that Gold Room will welcome Dupri back in the future but banned the R&B divos for good.
Songwriter and producer Cox made light of the situation when TMZ broke the story and misidentified him as a member of Jagged Edge with a big red arrow. He posted the following pic and caption to his Instagram.
