THE UK’S LONDON MONICA – Even though JAY-Z has won a plethora of awards, he cheered for another soccer great last weekend.On Saturday, June 1, Hov watched the most important soccer match of the European season—the UEFA Champions League final—at London’s Wembley Stadium. Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund were the teams competing.
With goals from Brazilian superstar Vinicius Jr. and seasoned defender Dani Carvajal, Madrid cruised to a 2-0 victory and clinched their record-tying fifteenth Champions League trophy.
Just before the game started, JAY-Z was spotted making his way down the touchline to his seat, waving to the crowd and dapping up Vini, who is under the supervision of his Roc Nation Sports organization.
The event’s high point, though, occurred after the final whistle when Hov posed for a selfie with the Real Madrid forward, who proudly displayed his freshly won medal for the camera.
Along with the two, the photo also features “OG Juan” Perez and Jay Brown, two of Jigga’s longstanding business associates and friends.
Roc Nation Sports purchased the Brazilian soccer agency TFM Agency in July 2023, and Vinicius Jr. became a member of the team that same month.
“When it comes to football, Brazil is absolutely central,” Roc Nation Sports chief Perez stated at the time.
“I feel a deep connection to a culture that values music and sports so highly. Our global influence in this game is expanding, and this step demonstrates our goals.
Vinicius Jr., a soccer player, previously posted a photo of himself with JAY-Z to social media in May of 2023 with the comment “LEGEND.”
Following Joe Lewis’s indictment on sixteen charges of security fraud, Hov allegedly expressed interest in purchasing Tottenham Hotspur, an English Premier League club, last year.
According to Football365’s source, “Jay would jump at the chance of a controlling interest at board level somewhere with the global reach of Spurs.” The source went on to sаy that many of the top clubs in the league are now owned by Americans, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
Whether Mr. Lewis gets off free or not is still up in the air. In any case, Jay has stated that he would like to be ready to act swiftly in the event that he believes the price is fair. He thinks it’s doable, particularly with the support of other investors.
Lewis eventually admitted in his guilty plea that he had planned an insider trading scаm that had made milliоns of dollars for his associates. He was found guilty of two charges of securities fraud and one count of cоnspiracy to conduct securities fraud.
Instead of going to prison, he got a fine of $5 million and three years of probation.
After selling his share in the Brooklyn Nets in 2013, JAY-Z has not bought a major sports franchise since. He did not end up purchasing Tottenham Hotspur.
