Jay-Z Is Reportedly Selling His Share Of The Brooklyn Nets
Jay-Z has recently popped the top on Roc Nation Sports, and as a result, has a conflict of interest by owning an NBA franchise….so he’s apparently looking to remove his ownership. As reported by Yahoo:
Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – owns less than 1 percent of the Nets, but has been a central public figure in the franchise’s marketing and move from New Jersey to Brooklyn.
Selling his share of the Nets is a necessary prelude for Jay-Z to obtain his National Basketball Players Association certification as an agent.
NBA rules mandate that no one individual affiliated with a player representation company can have an ownership stake with an NBA team.
Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company has partnered with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to launch a sports representation business that recently secured New York Yankees star Robinson Cano.
The process is expected to be completed in time for Roc Nation to compete for players entering the June NBA draft, but there’s no guarantee of the timing, sources said. Those within Roc Nation and the CAA alliance aren’t “chasing a clock on this,” one source said. “This isn’t about one draft, but taking the long view of the business.”
Rocko Speaks On Removing Rick Ross From ‘U.O.E.N.O.’; Upcoming Remix
Rocko spoke with Ebro & K Foxx on what he has to do with his latest record due to the rape lyric controversy:
“Because of the type of traction that the record has as far as radio, it puts me in a position where I have to change it.
At the present moment, I have like six different verses from all types of different, talented artists, some multi-platinum. Some might have even have bigger accomplishments like Grammys and things of that nature.”
In addition to that, Rocko apparently has a well-suited replacements for the upcoming remix (which I hope we hear soon)….courtesy of a few artist’s Twitter accounts, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar & Trae are just a few of the rumoured collaborators….
I WONDER WHO'S GOING TO BE ON THE REMIX...... #UOENO#HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
