It appears that Jay-Z is making a major move to further ingrain himself into the sports world.
Yahoo! Sports has reported that Jay-Z is looking to divest himself from his less-than-one percent ownership share of the Brooklyn Nets.
The Nets, the National Basketball Association, and the newly-formed Roc Nation Sports have declined to comment on the matter.
The news comes one week after Roc Nation announced its partnership with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to launch a sports representation agency that has secured New York Yankees player Robinson Cano, and has reportedly secured representation rights with the New York Giants’ Victor Cruz.
To become an NBA agent, Jay-Z would be required to sell his share of the Nets, as no one affiliated with a player representation company may have an ownership stake with an NBA team.
The report indicates that rival agents are “anxious” about the prospect of Jay-Z being involved as an agent, because his celebrity status can offer unique marketing and business opportunities.

See told ya. He’s gon be my agent.
he need to finally hire me.
I, for one, am happy that Jay is finally retiring as a rapper and is switching career paths. Now we don’t have to listen to any more of his pop music. Had he retired after the Black Album, he would be looked at as a rap legend today. But instead we had to suffer through Kingdom Come and BP3, and terrible verses like the ones he bestowed upon Clique, Talk That Talk, Suit and Tie, I Do and many more. RIP Jay’s career. Mr Wayne Carter now holds he rap game firmly by the clit.
Dude you’re trolling sucks. Give it up. I run this troll shit.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
You got mode-ed by ja. Hhhhhhoooolllllaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Dude, get a new hobby, because your trolling sucks.
I’m next guys.
Its amazing the career this dude has had. I don’t see another rapper or entertainer touching what this guy h as done over the years. I don’t see any rappers that are 25yrs old or younger touching what rappers in the ninties have accomplished when it comes to movies, clothing, or music. A lot of the albums that are made today by say jay-z which are not classic like the ninties albums are still good and I still play them from time to time.

Oh boy. Let me guess Lebron James!
Divest his 0.0000001% share. Fuck Jay-Z
Jay has been making some solid business moves. His association with Brookyln Nets boosted brand value through the roof. In the first two days of merchandise sales they sold more fan gear than in the entire nets previous history!
Anyways, we love Jay him and Diddy are on their way to Billionaire status. Check out our site, we love to post about their business ventures.
Curious how much Jay’z net worth is? http://www.hiphop-networth.com and find out!

His less-than-one percent ownership share of the Brooklyn Nets.
I remember reading how Jay never wanted that info to come out because he wanted people to think his percentage was higher.
He balled to hard… Even Jay has limits.
fuck jay z
This is a bad move. Master P already tried his hand at having a Sports Management group years ago, and of course, it went under.
I respect that Jay wants a piece of that pie; I think a better move would be to try and consolidate some of the black-owned sports manager firms under one umbrella (since he loves Mafia movies/culture, he might get a kick out of this kind of angle)..
But just starting out your own firm from day one, in an era of the “super firms” already having what, 85% of the Basketball, football, baseball & hockey players on lock, it’s going to be an uphill battle to the utmost. Unless Jay wants to try and go after people from the sports that get less sports-bar props in the USA like Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Extreme Sports, Bowling, etc., and carve out a niche from there..
Read Forbes bro. Master P aint Jay-Z.
Hov owns publishing, advertising and licensing companies (Roc Nation Management, Translation) that do more business than 50% of ALL sports agents COMBINED!
This a BOSS move.

Yeah they’re plotting as I speak.

interesting, although i like the idea of him being apart of something like a team. even if it is less than 1 percent, its still important.
