Jay Z has made a name for himself not only through rapping, but also through, among other things, his Roc Nation management company. Rihanna, Kanye West, Big Sean and radio personality Angie Martinez have all spent time on Roc Nation’s roster. He also acts as a sports agent for the likes of Kevin Durant and Dez Bryant.
Jay Z says that he can also help One Direction’s Harry Styles create a successful solo career.
“I would love to sign Harry,” Jay Z says to Daily Star, noting that he would be happy to work with Simon Cowell, who helped discover the group via the United Kingdom’s X Factor. “Simon is going to want to carry on working with him, of course. But we could do a joint venture – we both have big qualities we can bring to the table. And Harry can make more than enough money for everybody to get a piece of the pie.”
One Direction announced they were going on hiatus this year after releasing its fifth album in November. Jay Z emphasizes the need for Styles to get away from the band.
“Harry doesn’t need any help with exposure,” Jay Z says. “Everybody in the world knows who he is. But he does need to make the transition from being part of a group to becoming an individual artist.”

Jay z bout dat money off top but u gotta take a dick in the ass just like the next person who comments after me dead grandma did after i hit dat crack and bust a freestyle bout yo daddy sucking dick in county
what?
That’s dandy Jay, but will you show him the same star quality treatment you did Rita Ora ? Who is suing you and Roc Nation to get off the label ?
ROC ain’t wack. I highly doubt HOV will treat Harry like Rita, I don’t think HOV swings that way but head is head.
Exactly. A dope artist wouldn’t sign to a wack artist label anyway.
Hes tryin for that justin timberlake scheme and sign him a pop white boy.
It’s Harry Styles!?!?! You obviously don’t know who or what Harry is about musically. HOV only works with real artists that do real music. Stop being such a Nas Stan
He must lv styles alon jigga bad influence anywey,,,
This is so dum. Harry dosent want to be a solo artist. He wansts to be with one direction.
Yeah!! Or at least I really hope so
Replace Hov’s name with Nas in the title, and this comment section would be flooded with people bashing Nas left and right. That is how you know Hov has more respect in the game than broke ass Nas does.
I don’t even understand the point in shitting on Nas. Are you an angry groupie or a bitter homosexual?
Nah. You just need to recognize that HOV is king and HOV only works with real artists like Harry Styles while Nas can barely get on remixes with Justin Bieber because he is broke.
I heard Jay-Z dead.
The only thing dead is Nas career.
You wanna see “harry styles”? Let me take off my shirt and you’d call me jungle styles.

Damn can you make Jay Electronica a successful solo act before anybody else? LOL
“Everybody in the world knows who he is.” Nope.
And Harry Styles will have his album released long before Jay Electronica ever sniffs a release date.
How haven’t you guys interviewed Kurt Rock yet?
