I also hope there is still a CC deal.
Well there isn't a "still" involved; it would have to be a new one. IDJ put money into the one for "#B" and since the album didn't pan out then, I wonder how supportive they will be for "TAOLG." I don't have any faith in JD, so IDJ better be behind the song.


A manager i.e. JD can't control if a song becomes a hit or not, so you shouldn't put your faith in him. That's up to the label (CC deals, ads on iTunes, etc).
But the manager is the one who works with the label (among others) to create promotional plans, to negotiate deals (i.e. who finances what), and so forth. If the manager sucks or doesn't work well with the label, that can surely sink a project.

I'm seriously cringing at the thought of JD being in there with Mariah as they meet with label heads and others. I just don't see him representing her well. I'd love to be wrong.
