Jay Z signed DJ Khaled to Roc Nation management. The news was made public when DJ Khaled posted a video of the Rap mogul presenting him with a Roc-A-Fella chain at a J. Cole concert in Madison Square Garden.
“I don’t have an original one,” Jay Z says of the chain. “I don’t own an original one like at all. Zero. This is my last one.”
“God is great,” DJ Khaled responds.
Jay Z also gave a Roc-A-Fella chain to J. Cole when the North Carolina rapper’s Dreamville label signed with Interscope.
