JAY-Z Appoints Desiree Perez As Roc Nation CEO

    JAY-Z just appointed Roc Nation chief operating officer Desiree Perez as the company’s new CEO.

    Perez has replaced previous Roc Nation CEO Jay Brown, with the change becoming effective immediately. Brown will continue on at the multimedia entertainment company as the newly appointed vice-chairman.

    In a press release, the company stated, “Perez will lead development and growth across all aspects of Roc Nation including music, management, all new business development, philanthropy, publishing, touring, and TV and film development.”

    Perez’s new appointment should not come as a surprise since the new CEO has been working for JAY-Z for over two decades. She has been running many aspects of the company, including label operations and publishing. She was instrumental in Beyonce’s Formation stadium tour and Rihanna’s Samsung deal for Anti.

    Perez was recently named ‘Executive of the Year’ by Billboard during the Women in Music banquet on Thursday (December 12), with the publication writing, “Desiree Perez has quietly become one of the most formidable figures in the music business.”

    Roc Nation is a multimedia entertainment company with its hand in music recording and publishing, sports, film, television and literature, with a roster including J. Cole, Big Sean, Rapsody, Megan Thee Stallion and Meek Mill.

      1. I know it’s hard for the anyone on the internet to understand but people make mistakes in life. MLK had cheated on his wife and Malcolm Little was a criminal before becoming Malcolm X. As an adult you learn from your mistakes to better yourself even tho people like you will always try to use a person’s mistakes against them….btw did you see Dave Chappelle’s Sticks and Stones?

    1. Isnt she a known informant who ratted on the plugs to save her own ass?

      1. It’s funny how people with NO gang affiliations and NO criminal records want to call people “snitches”. If someone is not in that life it’s not snitching because they are a civilian. The same way if someone steals your car, you are going to report it stolen. If someone burglarizes your home your going to call the police. You got all these squares who are acting like they NEVER called the police for anything…stop it.
