The rap icon announced the deal that continues his relationship with the company, a connection which began in 2008, on Thursday. A person close to the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to publicly talk about the topic, said Jay Z earned $200 million for the new deal.
Jay Z says in a statement that he and Live Nation “have travelled the world producing historic music experiences.” He also added: “We will continue redefining the live event landscape.”
