Jay-Z wearing our “Hooligans” crewneck.
Just when you thought Jay-Z was doing a lot by starting a new tour with Justin Timberlake, he pulls another huge power move and launches Roc Nation Sports. The agency’s first client is Yankees 2nd baseman Robinson Cano. If Jay-Z wants to become a full fledged sports Agent he would have to give up his part ownership of the Brooklyn Nets. Here’s what Hov had to say about the new deal…
“Because of my love of sports, it was a natural progression to form a company where we can help top athletes in various sports the same way we have been helping artists in the music industry for years.”
Then Cano also adds:
“At this point in my career, I am ready to take a more active role in my endeavors on and off the field. I am confident that the pairing of Roc Nation Sports and CAA Sports will be essential in helping me accomplish my short- and long-term goals. I am making this important decision now so I can keep my focus on helping the Yankees succeed in 2013, while minimizing any distractions for me and my teammates.”
