Since Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports bought the Brazilian TFM Agency, Vinicius Jr. is the latest soccer star to join the company.
TFM also works with over 100 other players, such as Gabriel Martinelli of Arsenal.
The two celebrities now work for Roc Nation, which also has football stars Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne, as well as basketball stars Saquon Barkley and LaMelo Ball.
With the purchase of TFM, Jay Z’s sports business, which he started in 2013, now has a division in Brazil.
Juan Perez, founder and president of Roc Nation Sports, said on the company’s website, “When it comes to football, Brazil is the center of it all.”
“I strongly identify with a culture that has such a huge love for music and sports.” Our power in this game is building, and this move lets everyone know what we plan to do.
Vinicius joined Roc Nation soon after meeting Jay-Z in May. The two stood for a picture, which the Brazilian forward shared with his 39.6 million Instagram followers.

Between his 24 Grammys, Jay-Z has also made a name for himself in the sports world over the last 20 years.
From 2004 to 2013, the rapper owned a small part of the Nets. He then sold that part and started Roc Nation Sports.
But Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was very important in moving the team from New Jersey to Brooklyn before he left.
His name was also tied to Jeff Bezos’s bid to buy the Commanders last year. The teams were eventually sold to Sixers owner Josh Harris.
Vinicius had another great season for Real Madrid. He scored 20 goals across all categories.
