Normally when you hear Jay-Z collaborating with someone it is usually with one of the hottest rappers in music or his wife, Beyonce. However, the rap mogul has extended his business ventures in sports agency. He is already a part of the sports world being a minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets. While he may not make too many basketball decisions, he had a very vital hand in the Nets move out of New Jersey and into Jay-Z’s hometown of Brooklyn, NY.
It has just been announced that restricted free agent Victor Cruz has also signed with Jay-Z’s agency. So has the rapper found a new market to take over? It could certainly make the already super wealthy mogul into a legendary businessman. Or could it be that he wants to help keep New York favorites in New York? Either way fans seems pretty excited as it could mean that he will push to keep two of his own favorite players in the Big Apple. Yankee and Giants should see this as their beloved athletes telling them they want to stay, but for the right price. I can see Jay-Z getting very lucrative contracts signed, but smart ones, that has yet to be seen.
