The phase of rappers becoming sports agents has hit an all era, and I’m interested in seeing how this plays out.
Lil Wayne is channeling his inner Jay Z and Birdman — signing the first NFL prospect to his Young Money Sports agency, FSU LB Reggie Northrup.
Possibly trying to avoid Ricky Williams mistake from years ago with Master P — Northrup told the Tallahassee Democrat that Young Money Sports will only handle his marketing and branding.
Rep 1 Sports is representing Northrup’s football contract.
Northrup — FSU’s leading tackler as a junior and senior — played in every game this season after suffering a torn ACL in the 2014 College Football Playoff semifinal in January 2015.
We’ll see how this works out.
