Jay-Z denies his profession as a businessman, but he acted as one in NBA free agency.
The rapper has multiple athletes signed to his Roc Nation Sports label, and that includes this year's biggest free agent — Kevin Durant. But Jay-Z's influence didn't mean enough to the highly touted forward. According to Yahoo Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski on The Vertical's free agency show Friday, Durant declined Jay-Z's offer to set up meetings with the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks.
Woj just said Jay Z and Roc Nation pushed Durant to meet with Brooklyn and the Knicks.
