Jay-Z has been named Puma's president of basketball operations, according to Complex. The rapper will helm the clothing company's freshly relaunched basketball division, which was announced today with signees DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, and Zhaire Smith. Former ball player Walt Clyde Frazier will be the brand's lifetime endorser.
"We've been working with Roc Nation for quite some time. They've been great partners to us for several years," Puma global director of brand and marketing Adam Petrick told Complex.
Over the weekend, Jay-Z released a collaborative album with his wife Beyoncé, Everything Is Love. Busy boy!
