Jay-Z’s race to billionaire status continues. The New York Times is reporting that Hov is currently finalizing a deal with Live Nation worth $150 million dollars. Read part of the article below.
Jay-Z plans to depart his longtime record label, Def Jam, for a roughly $150 million package with the concert giant Live Nation that includes financing for his own entertainment venture, in addition to recordings and tours for the next decade. The pact, expected to be finalized this week, is the most expansive deal yet from Live Nation, which has angled to compete directly with the industry’s established music labels in a scrum over the rights to distribute recordings, sell concert tickets, market merchandise and control other aspects of artists’ careers.

JAY Z DOING THIS TING MUTHA 4UCKING HARD - GET EM JAY!!!!!!!!REAL HUSTLA
First!! Jay-Z is so rich, how rich is he??… The nigga bout to sign a $150 million contract with an entire NATION.
This nigga is filthy with money. 50 a monster too tho wit vitmain water. Diddy aint no slouch neither wit his vodka. I wonder who will be the first billionaire of rap?
#4 u retarded fuck, live nation is not a “nation”
SMH funboy lol
Jay doin big thangs!
“The nigga bout to sign a $150 million contract with an entire NATION.”
THE STUPIDITY IS STRONG IN THIS ONE ^
I’m not a BusinessMan… I’m a Business MAN!!!(Hov) And ya’ll wonder why Jay don’t b worried bout lames getting at him like Jim Jones & Santana? This dude is on a different planet then them guys.
@ JKC
It’ll be Hov because he’s worth close to 600 mill (if the report I saw on the net a few months ago is true) while 50 and Diddy are behind him by AT LEAST 200 mill (according to the same report)
“rap about it now, hope u get it later, do a couple of shows, hope u niggas is saving up, I’LL SHOW U HOW TO DO THIS SON”
did u see the numbers in that article, 10 mill advance for 3 albums in a 10yr span, 30mill more than madonna,25mill to finance aquisitions and investments, 5mill a year in overhead for 5yrs, 25mill up front, 25mil advance for his current tour
i know 50 tightttttttt right now, catch up niggas
yo fuck this nigga Hov son. lol
3 more albums from jay???? i like dat nigga jay but i cant help but feel like one of those 3 is gonna be wack
This is a phenomenal deal. Jay is cakin waaaay harder than any other rapper right now. Genius
Damn.
GOOD POST..
I will send it to my friends on ~~~ Tallmeet.com ~~~~..I find many friends there and I share my life with them..many people there upload their nice pics there..
das a good look but thas his START UP money not his personally money he can trick on B wit
Jay is rich as fuck, he be making that paper. He’s like 200 million richer that Diddy because he sold his Rocawear company for 200 mill, now imagine if Diddy was to sell Sean John clothing company which is worth a lot more that rocawear, he’ll pass Jigga in a second and retain his no1 spot on forbes. I i doubt he’ll sell SJ, thats his cash cow atm.
he overchargin niggas for what dey did to the Cold Crush.
is nas and hov album coming soon?
GODDAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COSIGN#1… Where the fuck is Jimmy’s Deal like this??? Nigga shooting air balls @ the basket!
YOUNG HOVA ya heard!
Damn they just be given Jigga money. Somebody tell Jim Jones and Joe Buddens that it looks real good to be Jordan on the Wizards as they say.
i bet when 50 and diddy read this they was like “this mothafucka!” hahahaha
hov’ is sittin on big time billion dollar money for real.
lmao 50 aint tight at this jay is his nigga on the low did ya miss the motherfuck mtv interview he goes at any1 that fucks wth jay 50 got 1 more album b4 he get his 100 million dollar deal so its noting but a matter of time
OH YEAH HEART OF THE CITY TOUR HERE IN BOSTON 2 NIGHT GOT MY TICKECTS IN HAND !!!!!!
Since yall brought up Jimmy Jones
Jimmy has one of the best deal according to him. It is a 50/50 venture!! aahhaha So if he sells 300,000 on a major with 3 million cost, he remains with 10 dollars and they split it 50/50 with Sony after Dipset/Koch have taken advance, he will be in debt.
Shooting airballs @ the basket
LIVE NATION just signed madonna and U2…now they have hov….that label is bout 2 get paid
@#27 you’re right, Jimmy ins’t gonna selling anything. 50/50 deals are nice if you’re Ray Charles or The beetles, but Jimmy will lose so mmuch money.
Jigga didn’t get $150 mill strait up. But that contract guarentees he’ll be getting checks for the next 10 years as long as he tours and produces albums. And the album deal doesn’t apply to “Jay-Z” the rapper, but “Jay-Z” the business. SO he could sign someone and use that cash on their album. He’ll get a website that sells tracks 99 cent each, and sign some of his leaches (Kanye, NeYo, RiRi). That’s 3 albums right there.
If Hov wanna increase record sales, come with a 50 diss.
relax pounce
thats the end game, last album, last check
“suns rising…….. where we goin for breakfast”
we all waiting for it, but like the showman he is, he’ll save the best for last
YE 150MILLZ A GOOD LOOK, BUT HOLD UP!, WHO THE HELL IS HE SIGNING TO THIS LABEL THAT COULD POSSIBLY PULL THE PUBLICS ATTENTION? THATS THE STUMP THAT GOT ME TRIPPIN.. CUZ IF HE GON BE BRINGIN RAPPERS THAT SELL 50K THE FIRST WEEK THAT AINT GON CUT IT JAY, WE NEED CONSISTENT #1,2,3,4,5 ALBUM SALES, BUT STILL PROPS TO JAY!
HOVA HOAV HOVA HOVA HOVA HOVA HOVA HOVA HOVA!!!!
This is why I like Jay-Z.
Yeah he will probably wait, I say drag the beef success out over at least to albums. In LA niggas bomb first though lol.
….. ” He Loves You”……
