Speaking to Welt am Sonntag, Jerome Boateng yesterday confirmed that he had become the first footballer to join Jay Z’s ‘Roc Nation Sports’ label.
A fan of rap since he was a child, the 26-year-old Bayern Munich defender celebrated the conclusion of the deal in Jay Z’s very own sports bar in Brooklyn – The “40/40 club” – before heading to Jay Z’s private villa in LA.
“I took my sister and my best friend,” said Boateng. “It was a great day with Jay Z. We could ask him anything.”
