Everybody's Doing It!

Filed under: Music Minute > Jay-Z

jayz.jpg

(Concert promoters and venue owners) Live Nation is throwing loads of money ’round these days!

According to the New York Times, a Live Nation/Jay Z deal worth approximately $150 million will be finalized this week!

First Live Nation signed Her Madgesty, then Bono and friends…now Hova.

Who knew the Nation had such deep pockets?

The deal with the soon-to-be groom includes financing for his own entertainment venture, in addition to recordings and tours for the next decade. It's reportedly the most expansive deal yet from Live Nation.

More so than Madonna?????

Basically, it looks like Live Nation wants to be the one stop shop for anything and everything Jay-Z. From clothing to concerts to albums - Live Nation is putting up shit loads of money to help Jay move his visions forward and in return LN gets a cut of all revenue generated.

Jay-Z is getting approx $60 million in upfront payments according to the report!!!! DAY-UM!

Jay-Z said Live Nation’s consolidated approach was in sync with the emerging potential “to reach the consumer in so many different ways right now.” He added, “Everyone’s trying to figure it out. I want to be on the front lines in that fight.”

Wonder if Jay is making Beyonce sign a pre-nup????

He SHOULD!

    Yeah the reason Live Nation can afford all this shit is because they rape the concert goers with service fees and "convenience" fees. Ticket prices are outrageous now.

    Madonna can suck Jay-Z's dick

  56. Backik says – reply to this


    56

    Them having money has nothing to do with service fees they charge. Live Nation and Ticketmaster don't get a big cut of the service fee profit like everyone here seems to think they do.

  64. Nivea says – reply to this


    64

    Someone said that Madonna is worth more than Beyonce & Jay Z.. Jay z is worth 502.3 million dollars ,and Beyonce is worth 364 milliion dollars making 27 million a year. I doubt that Madonna will be stepping the power couple!!!!

    These two can step in a room & shut it down, as if they were oprah. Madonna is lucky to be worth 600million.

    Btw Perez, Beyonce has her own money!!! Jay Z dosen't accent the team. He just comes for the enjoyment
