JAY Z Is Now President of Basketball Operations at PUMA

PUMA is making quite the splash, as they relaunch their basketball division for 2018 and beyond, not only signing some of the biggest prospects coming out of the NBA Draft, but naming a huge rap star as head of basketball operations.

To go along with signings like DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, and Zhaire Smith, JAY Z will also be the president of the division.

Not only will Hov have a hand in art design, concept and direction of the brand moving forward, but he will also have a huge role in what players are chosen for the Puma basketball division. As of now, both Ayton and Bagley sit at the top of NBA Mock draft, as both being consensus Top 3 picks. Ayton, specifically, is being touted as the clear-cut No. 1.

The two sides have been involved in a number of past deals and when the opportunity arose to work together, Jay jumped at the chance. It’s safe to say the Roc Nation empire is flourishing, in music and in sports.

Mr. Carter just released a collaborative album with his wife Beyoncé this past weekend.

Chance the Rapper – Work Out / Wala Cam / I Might Need Security / 65th Ingleside

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chance the Rapper was releasing an official album, before his pending 7-track collaborative effort with Kanye West. Well, Chance unfortunately debunked the story, saying that we weren’t getting an album this week; but said he was still in the studio. Luckily, Chano III kept his word and has blessed the public with four new songs for the summer. Here, you can listen to his new cuts: “ Work Out ” “ Wala Cam ” “ I Might Need Security ” and “ 65th Ingleside ” – serving as an appetizer to the full project later this year. Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho. 😎 — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2018

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
