Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports SIGNS New York Jets BALLER Geno Smith + Foxy Brown DENIES Bashing Jay-Z & Beyonce
New York Jets rookie Geno Smith is the latest high-profile athlete to join Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports. Get the deets inside and read what Foxy Brown said about rumors she bashed Jay-Z and Beyonce in an alleged industry tell-all.
After signing Tulsa Shock star Skylar Diggins and NY Yankees baller Robinson Cano, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports has added New York Jets rookie Geno Smith to its rooster of talent. Roc Nation proudly tweeted the announcement earlier, "We would like to welcome @genosmith_12 to the #RocNationSports family!"
During an interview with the NY Daily News, Eugene revealed that Jay-Z only played a minor role in why he chose to sign with Roc Nation. He added that his primary focus is on playing football, not creating a certain "image".
“The only thing that’s important to be is the image that is perceived around this lockerroom, the guy that I am to my teammates, to my coaches and the work that I put in on the football field.. I’m all about football. I’m all about getting better and that’s the one thing that I’m focused on: Better myself daily and prepare myself to be there when the time comes.”
“I don’t worry about the outside world’s perception. I’m comfortable with who I am, strong in my faith. I know that this isn’t because of an image thing or trying to market myself. It’s just being comfortable with the guys who’s going to represent me. That’s ultimately why I made that decision.”
Congrats to Geno.
In other Jay-Z news….
Foxy Brown has denied rumors that she penned a tell-all biography bashing her mentor Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce.
In an interview with TMZ, Foxy shot down the false report (which claimed Jay gave her gonorrhea and took her virginity) saying,
"The atrociousness of this story sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney. In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I’ve ever experienced. This fictitious story … with NO audio, visual or written interview, clearly was concocted with malicious intent."
She continued,
"Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I’ve known him and we had nothing but great success as a team."
Foxy also disputed reports that she made distasteful comments about Jay’s wife Beyonce.
"Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me … I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation. This disrespect will NOT be tolerated."
Mind you….we never reported on any of the speculation surrounding the alleged Foxy Brown biography as there was never any credible proof presented. And now we know why….

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:
I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…
Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here. Stream the official audio below and connect with Skilla Baby 0n Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:
Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.
Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below. Stay connected with Young Franco on Instagram, Facebook, and Soundcloud.
