Jigga man is successful at all phases of life. Whether your critiquing his music, wife, finances, and business ventures Jay-Z rules all. Jay-Z stepped out into unfamiliar territory, and has started Roc Nation Sports. Jay has signed Robinson Cano(MLB), Skylar Diggins (WNBA), and Geno Smith(NFL) in a short period of time. As Jay’s empire continue to grow the haters will follow suit.
The NFLPA started to complain about Jay-Z and Roc Nation Spots an started an investigation for allegedly breaking rules (http://www.businessinsider.com/jay-zs-sports-agency-trouble-with-nfl-2013-5).
Young athletes in all genre’s of sports are more than likely fond of Jay-Z’s music. Since he is idolized by his peers, and others his empire is likely to build faster than what your average sports agent company would. The complaints will continue, and the naysayers wont’ be able to do anything about it.
Jay-Z is as smart as it gets when it comes to business, and he will make sure he is taking an ethical approach in building Roc Nation sports.
With most athletes being apart and growing up in the hip-hop culture it looks like it is a win win for Jay-Z and Roc Nation. Since Jay-Z is more in tuned with this generation of athletes I can bet my last dollar that he is striking fear in many other sports agent companies.
