NEW YORK, N.Y. --
Jay-Z is now in the player agent business.
The rap mogul has been certified by the NBA players’ association, spokesmen for the union and Roc Nation Sports said Thursday.
However,
it’s unclear exactly what he can do. He would have to sell his minor
share of the Brooklyn Nets before he can represent players, according to
NBA rules, and a Roc Nation spokesman wouldn’t comment on whether that
has been done.
The Sports Business Journal first reported Jay-Z’s certification.
Jay-Z
attended only a handful of Nets games this season, but had a major role
in the rebranding of the team in its first season in Brooklyn, even
debuting the team’s black-and-white uniforms during one of his concerts.
He is friendly with a number of sports superstars and could quickly
make Roc Nation a force in the agency field.
