Jay Z Under Investigation for Giving Expensive Watch to Robinson Cano

Jay Z and Robinson Cano

Remember years ago when a sports writer outed Jay Z for shacking up with former Kansas City running back Larry Johnson in a posh condo? Well, Jay Z might be at it again.

According to multiple reports, Jigga is under investigation for gifting New York Yankees star second baseman Robinson Cano with an expensive wristwatch for his birthday. Jay Z signed the 31-year-old star to his Roc Nation Sports agency earlier this year. Now he is under investigation for violating league rules.

None of this would be a problem if Cano didn’t run to his Instagram to floss the expensive timepiece like a groupie.

“Thanks to the ROC NATION my birthday gift,” Cano wrote in the caption.

Within minutes, the sports world was abuzz about how Jay Z, who is married to singer Beyonce, was sprung over yet another male athlete.

The Bleacherreport.com notes that The baseball league’s players association is investigating whether Jay Z was in violation of the union’s agent regulations covering gifts for athletes. In every level of sports there are rules that players and agents must follow. Of course, Jay Z thinks he’s above all that.

The rap mogul gifted Cano with the $33,000 watch at Cano’s recent birthday celebration in Belgium, per ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick.

Crasnick points out a clause in the contract that states players cannot receive gifts from sports agents in excess of $500 and if a gift exceeds that amount it would have to be disclosed to the union in writing.

Maybe Cano thought posting the watch on Instagram was sufficient?

If found guilty of committing the violation, Jay Z could face undisclosed disciplinary action.

I am playing catch up. Been busy…. This is my reply to Care and someone. Let me read the post and comments..

that his final straw for filing on Porsha was that she wouldn’t let his son have a birthday party at the house even though she had Bravo and her family running around there all the time. Idk…it’s all messt
___________________________
I thought he was A man *pounds chest* how is she going to tell him about his son in his own house? Chile
I am not on anyone’s side. His interview on TJMS was just a mess. He sounded really hung up on pointing out the fact that he spent money on here and made her over like his own doll. I agree that Porsha knew he wanted a traditional wife and I said that last time.
I think all of them (including her family) were putting on an act for the cameras. I am not saying you shouldn’t put the best face forward because I do. You will never see me blast my personal business in public or on fb or hardly if ever to family. Period unless it is out of control. My problem is both of them are shady because now all the sudden he is saying the marriage was in shambles. Then why go on tv? And on tv you pretending it was all perfect. And Porsha you calling gay now is funny and amusing but not fair. You said you asked him before. If it was enough then it should be enough now unless you caught him in your lingerie like Bruce Jenner. Even then you had to ask! :stop:

As for this story I do need Jay to learn the rules if he is going to be in this industry BUT he gifts his musical artists all the time for success. I think this is the same thing. And that disciplinary action will probably be a small fine if anything. Less of a fine than the cost of watch

Because no other agents give their clients gifts.

Excerpt… from NBC/CBS….
R&B Divas LA star and R&B singer

Lil Mo’s ex-husband, Augustus Stone , was arrested during a Maryland drug bust Monday and is facing multiple charges, including distribution.
“We executed a search warrant yesterday and seized loose marijuana and also marijuana there at the home that was being grown, plants if you will. (The) total was about $127,000,” Justin Mulcahy, spokesman of the Anne Arundel County Police Department, told local news source ABC 2 News.

***************

I didnt hear all of the interview b/c I was flipping back and forth between that and Nephew Tommy’s prank call, it was funny today. As for the doll comment.. I did find it a little strange that he kept bringing up how much money he spent on her and her wardrobe, possibly to allude that she’s a golddigger and was accepting his money and wasnt concerned about him being gay while she was spending his duckies!

IDK. You’re right. It’s messy. I agree with you about the son thing tho. I never ever put my personal business out there. I give yall a little peak into my bidness, but not alot and only when asked. I rarely volunteer info. I think they are unequally yoked and should just move onward and upward. Porsha is still naive and has growing to do.

The Back story on this is…. dude got a crazy contract on Monday

The YANKKEES presented Cano — a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying contract on Monday.

So if it’s a issue just return the watch…

But he also but Skylar a $100,000 benz when she graduated from DUKE. He just likes giving gifts. Going to dust off my track cleets, I will run.

I’m mad that Porsha admitted on national TV that Kordell locked her out the house because she got home late!! The whole making a list of things for Kordell to do that she know he wasn’t eeeen gonna do!! Just cut your losses and move on Porsha!!! Kordell is just too dayum controlling and I would have cussed him out a long time ago. I guess the money made her overlook a bunch of stuff!!!
