Lil Wayne to Launch Sports Agency with Cristiano Ronaldo as First Client

Lil Wayne is making a big business move. The Young Money mogul is reportedly starting his own sports management agency and has signed up soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo as his first client.

According to TMZ, Weezy, who is a huge sports fanatic, has been wanting to get into sports management and is friends with the Team Portugal player.
Wayne has partnered with Polaris Sports, which is affiliated with CAA and GestiFute, the company where Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes works.
Wayne’s company will handle Ronaldo’s sports management affairs in the U.S. including marketing, endorsement deals, and even modeling.
Earlier today, Ronaldo tweeted a photo of himself with the Prime Minister of Japan holding up the Young Money sign.
“My homie Christiano Ronaldo got the President of Japan throwing up Young money! He too real 4dat! Young Muulah baby!” tweeted Wayne.
He won’t be the first rap mogul to venture into the world of sports. In 2013, Jay Z teamed up with CAA to launch Roc Nation Sports, which is home to Kevin Durant, CC Sabathia, Skylar Diggins, and Victor Cruz.

   If these rappers were really smart they’d invest in some of these start up companies (ex: BEATS) … We see how Dr.Dre turned out… But I guess

   July 24th, 2014 at 8:47 pm It’s funny how pp are calling him a follower, but I’ve never heard of Jay-Z on ESPN or any sports network, ever (please correct me if I’m wrong). Wayne, on the other hand, is a huge sports fan and has appeared on many sport shows including First Take, Sports Center, NFL Countdown, and even has his on sports blog which he’s been doing for a few years now. The difference between the two is, Jay-Z is doing it solely for business with little, wayne is more passionate about sports and then it’s business. Just my opinion.

    Usually in the rap industry, if one guy does it, everyone else soon follows. That’s even the case for Jay Z’s recent venture into the world of sports management, as another emcee has now entered the rat race. According to TMZ, Lil Wayne is launching an agency of his own.
    Weezy has partnered with PolarisSports, an affiliate of CAA and GestiFute. His first client? International soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Wayne will reportedly handle all of Ronaldo’s marketing and endorsement deals in the United States.
    Ronaldo celebrated news on his Twitter account:

    Lil Wayne's plan to release Tha Carter V  and eight other albums between now and 2015 may have just hit a pretty big roadblock, and it has nothing to do with his penchant for getting stoned to the bejeezus-belt on a regular basis. Instead, Weezy is apparently following in Jay Z's footsteps and getting into the sports management game, founding his own company, TMZ Sports reports. On top of that, the New Orleans MC has allegedly signe his first client, none other than Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the sport's most popular figures.
    Yeah, it sounds far-fetched, but the details come off as pretty legit: "We're told Weezy's company will be working with PolarisSports — which is affiliated with the CAA agency and GestiFute — through which Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes operates." Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports is also affiliated with CAA, though unlike Hova, Wayne and co. will be working on Ronaldo's marketing, endorsement, and modeling deals as opposed to his athletic contracts.
    Still don't believe it? Well, Ronaldo himself offered a bit of confirmation yesterday when he tweeted a photo of himself, the Japanese Prime Minister, and a bunch of others throwing up the YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Billionaires) sign. Wayne tweeted the Real Madrid star's photo, too, writing, "My homie Christiano Ronaldo got the President of Japan throwing up Young money! He too real 4dat! Young Muulah baby!"
    This is the world we live in, folks. Cherish it.

    Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to become the first client of rapper Lil Wayne’s sports management company after reports claimed he is on the lookout for a representative to “handle his affairs”.
    
    The Ballon d’Or winner didn’t enjoy the best of World Cup’s during the summer as his Portugal side were knocked out in the group stages, but he did have reason to celebrate come the end of the season after guiding Real Madrid to the tenth Champions League success in their history.
    The World Cup saw football (or ‘soccer’) sweep the United States, largely thanks to the impressive showing in Brazil by Team USA, and it now seems that Ronaldo is ready to tap into that interest in order to expand the global brand that is CR7.
    According to celebrity news website TMZ.com, Ronaldo will link up with his friend Lil Wayne – real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. – after the New Orleans rapper started his own sports management company.
