Jazmine Sullivan Quits the Music Business!!!

Jazmine Sullivan just posted a surprising note on her Twitter page. She tells her fans that she is taking a break from the music business because it isn’t fun for her anymore and she needs time to find herself. Could she be stressed about low album sales?? I think she needs to sit down, re-evaluate some things and get it together! Like ‘Ye said “Don’t leave while ya hot, that’s how Mase screwed up!” Check her message to fans after the jump…

      wack..but artists are fickle…whatevs…she’s so talented…and just like ‘ye said…don’t eff up like Mase did!

      I think what she is doing is very smart. She knows her breaking point and her limits. Like any job, the one thing you don’t want to do is work to work. If you don’t love what you do, you will not give your all, you can’t function properly and you surely won’t be able to focus. She has to be honest with herself in order to be EFFECTIVE to those who are supporting her. I think it’s wise.
