The 26-year-old celebrated signing the deal at Jay Z’s sports bar the ’40/40 club’ in Brooklyn before continuing the party at the rap star’s private villa. “I took my sister and my best friend,’ Boateng told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. ‘It was a great day with Jay Z. We could ask him anything.

“We mostly talked about music and football. Jay Z knows about football and has watched numerous games. America is a big market. With Jay-Z and Roc Nation I have a lot, we want to try what is possible”, he added.

Jay Z already has several athletes at ‘Roc Nation Sports’ including the Boxer Andre Ward, the baseball player Erick Aybar and the basketball players James Young and Skylar Diggins.
