"We don't want people to come in and necessarily agree with us; we want people to come in and tell us what we can do better," he said. "I think that's a core element of our relationship between the two organizations, and with Jay and I personally."
Jay’s Roc Nation is already involved in the league, representing numerous NFL stars, including New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley.
Jay-Z famously turned down an opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl LII halftime show. In the Carter’s 2018 song “Apes**t,” he addressed the matter, rapping: "I said no to the Super Bowl: You need me, I don't need you. Every night we in the end zone, tell the NFL we in stadiums too."
