Jay-Z revealed that Roc Nation has undergone changes following its merger with Equity Distribution.
According to Billboard, the company’s distribution division, Equity, is now uniting to establish Roc Nation Distribution, a single organization.
Notwithstanding the apparent shift in emphasis, whereby Equity collaborated with independent musicians who desired to retain possession of their master recordings, Roc Nation will persist in procuring fresh talent and fortifying its roster.
Following the merger, Roc Nation will have one significant departure: co-president Shari Bryant will leave her position after five years of service.
The business manages and releases records, and it is a partner of the NFL, in charge of the league’s social justice programs and the Super Bowl halftime show.
In addition to JAY-Z, other artists on the label side of Roc Nation include J. Cole, Rihanna, Vic Mensa, Jay Electronica, and others.
Other celebrities managed by Roc Nation include Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled, A$AP Rocky, Megan Thee Stallion, and Jadakiss.
Moreover, Roc Nation has a dedicated sports agency that offers athletes advice.
NFL players Saquon Barkley, Jaire Alexander, and C.J. Henderson are represented by the agency, along with NBA players Kyrie Irving, Markelle Fultz, and LaMelo Ball.
After a ten-year run, Meek Mill recently left the label, and JAY-Z addressed his exit on DJ Khaled’s “God Did.”
He rapped on the song, “Me and Meek could never beef, I freed that n-gga from a whole bid, Hov did.” “You donkeys know this, so next time we have a discussion, who the G.O.A.T. is.”
Meek reassured supporters that there were no problems and that he was still in business with Hov when the rumors first surfaced that he was quitting Roc Nation.
On X, he said, “All I saw today was meek and roc part ways” (previously Twitter). We came to an agreement together, now I’m directly managing my own business so I can take risks and expand.I have several more investments with Jigga in addition to my label agreement with RoC for my artist.
