Jay-Z has been in the NFL news this week and his name popped up in another report Friday that is certain to create major interest.
TMZ is reporting Jay-Z will soon become part owner of an unnamed NFL team.
The gossip/entertainment site reported “it is going to happen in the near future.”
We’re told Jay wants to become a part owner “because he’s a huge fan, already has a sports business and wants to continue to be a change agent for the NFL.”
There’s a question … can Jay manage players if he owns a team? Our sources make it clear … “Jay is not an NFL agent and does not take part in the operations of the NFL players in Roc Nation.”
The entertainer/mogul previously had a piece of ownership of the Brooklyn Nets.Jay-Z and the NFL were in the news earlier in the week when his Roc Nation announced a multi-year partnership with the league.
The goal is to enhance the NFL’s live game experiences and to amplify the league’s social justice efforts. As part of the agreement, Roc Nation will advise on the selection of artists for major NFL performances like the Super Bowl.
