Jay Z is planning on touring until he’s at least 57 judging by a 10-year deal with Live Nation he just signed that’s worth $200 million, according to Variety.
The publication says Live Nation will handle all of Jay Z‘s touring worldwide, and continue producing and promoting Hov’s performances. The deal is reflective of one the promoter made with Madonna in 2007 for $120 million. Jigga explained in a statement why he has worked so well with the company and wanted to continue the partnership.
“Live Nation and I entered unchartered territory in 2008,” Jay Z said. “Over nine years, we have traveled the world producing historic music experiences. [Live Nation president and chief executive officer] Michael Rapino is an industry visionary, and this renewed partnership is a testament to our longstanding relationship and the talented individuals at Live Nation. For the next 10 years, we will continue redefining the live event landscape.”
While Jay Z hasn’t released an album since 2013’s Magna Carta … Holy Grail, rumor has it he is preparing a new project. He’s set to make the festival rounds this fall as well, including The Meadows and his own Made In America. Revisit “Big Pimpin'” live above.
This how Pac and BiG should have been. Enjoying their later rap days touring, signing artist, rapping when you want not cause you have too. Hopefully the stars of today watching and learning.
Pac was a skinny hot-head, and would’ve likely ended up in trouble one way or the other, severely hurt again, in debt or jail if he survived the 2nd shooting. He is a victim of his own doings. Jay Z was a business man with knowledge way beyond his years as early as 1995/1996, whereas Pac relied on others to do it for him. He was not self-reliant and far from a perfectionist. The height of his popularity was due to his being in jail and beefing with others…he would’ve never made it to this position, like Jay Z, who would’ve also surpassed Biggie.
Only cuz pac n big dead dat marks like diz dude and scruffy is where dey is. G4y z bit PAC n big like a muthafucca n he legend??? Hell nah! Biter sellout is werds ta describe dude real doe. We ain’t even finna get inta scruffy fuccin ALL his artists n on da low homo chit. U cudnt pay ya boi ta nibble da cock! Real ones no wat tyme it is!
English you decrepit gimp talking muthafucka!
King Hov is killing it! Not only he a sexy, rich dude married to Beyoncé. He just keeps getting richer and richer while Nas gets poorer and poorer, and goes out with muppet looking chicks like Nicki Minaj. Ask Russel Simon’s how many L’s you’ve been taking Nas.
I hope you a female calling Hov sexy.
King Hov is a sexy man. You fucking Nas stans are so homophobic. Stay broke with that other broke loser Nas.
This is fake. I’m the real Fuck Queensbridge. I’d never call King HOV sexy, I’m not gay.
Would shut the fuck up! No one wants to hear your stupid BS.
Suspect.
Get Hov’s dick out of your mouth.
King HOV will be touring at age 57. Broke ass Nas will be living in a cave at age 57.
Shut up you feel doing fucking fruit. No one wants to hear you talk about your sexy on king hov or how its not gay to suck a god’s dick. Jay Z stans are the fucking worst.
LMAO as much as I love Nas, the way you troll him is funny
Hahahaha! you’re one funny guy.
The Carters ran out of funds from lawsuits and got their money back.
i think he is a billionaire now . . .
I grew up on Nas and Jay but Jay is now hip hop first billionaire according to the forbes hip hop listlist He was worth $870 million yesterday and announced the new deal the day after so next year he will be top on the list or at least always known as the first Diddy will be next. Nas still killed Jay on Either just saying
200/10 = 20 + 870 = 890 at the end of this year plus whatever else he earns. Close but not yet prolly 2019 which is outstanding
Dre is hip hop first billionaire
Nope. only `740 mil
“Can I live? I told ya’ll in ’96 that I came to take this shit. And I did. Handled my biz. I scramble like Randal with his…” -Jay Z
Jay Z will reach a billion before Puffy. Good for him.
he turned himself into a slave, if i was as rich as jay z i would rather spend time with my family and enjoy life but when you sell your soul to the devil theres no real life joy only a fake charade to make the world think you are reaching the top
This is for all the young rappers and critics saying people are too old to rap, always go and follow your dreams no matter what age you are just know you still breathing to accomplish any goal, break boundaries & create your own lane, congrats to Hov nobody believed in him and he’s pushing it till the last day , let’s push each other, not put each other down, keep the positives vibes moving!
newsflash, you can be too old to rap. who wants to hear 50 year old rappers still taking about shooting people, being a pimp, going to the club, or embarrassing themselves trying to keep up with the young generation? fuck outta here with this bullshit.
CTFU you clearly don’t listen to his music..he speaks on none of these things now n days…simp ass. his music always been a reflection of where he at in life..
so jay-z doesn’t try to keep up with the young generation? what about performing his old ass songs in concert at age 50? i’m sure some of his songs have those topics in it.
Dude do you understand rap at all.
U are a disappointment as fuck.
Hov’s old songs u claim are even a bang when played today,so what the fuck are you talking abt?bitch stop hating
are you stupid? you still want to watch a 50 year old jay perform songs like big pimpin, give it to me, money, cash, hoes, and his numerous songs about being a drug dealer in concert? if i was his son, i’d ask him to stop performing those songs at his shows. he’s too old for that shit. stop riding jay’s nuts so hard.
Dam ass,you still don’t get it,it ain’t about age,its talent and making right moves loser,you know bitch,wah you really have to do is learn not to be restricted by non like hov but not hate,maybe then you can make your first shine bitch.
meanwhile in Queensbridge Nas on foodstamps.
Is that you F*ckQueensbridge?
nah this all me baby. btw i find it sad that these men in their 40s and 50s wearing childish baseball caps like Jay is wearing in the picture above.. Lord Jamar is like what, 10 years older and he wearing those childish hats too.
man, ain’t nobody wanna see this grandpa touring when he’s 57 years old. his dentures will be falling out every time he opens his mouth to rap. all the seniors will love him at the nursing home.
There’s a bus leaving in 4 min, go stand in front of it. Ya young ass, dumbass bum.
Funny he probably think Lil Yauchty gone be around when J finish this deal
he will be around. the boat will forever sail.
He can make that 200 back in 5yrs or less and they will re-do the deal for another 200 so he is going to double the money in 10 and sit back laughing at all you haters
id love to see your calculations, you should be an accountant. can you tell us how this money is made back in more detail? thanks!
They actually had to slow him down when they did the first deal for 150 because he made the money back so fast….Cant knock the HUSTLE…..and who the fuck would comment about Birdman under Jay oh my bad he is under Jay hell Bird made less the Ms.Carter
Yep, that tour with Queen Beyonce helped out that cash flow for King HOV. Meanwhile Nas is eating fried chicken with a muppet and can’t afford the bill. Broke ass loser Nas.
You cant even buy a house for 80k so that house comment is a joke and Birdman come on tell him to give that to Wayne
if anyone knows what actual deal is then please share otherwise you don’t know how much anyone made or is making. a $200M dollar deal doesn’t automatically mean he just got $200M, also it is a 10 year deal…this article also says the deal is “worth” $200M. The source for this articles info (variety) says “A source tells Variety the deal is worth $200 million.” If anyone has a copy of this deal that would be more informative.
