JAY-Z Snags Selfie With Real Madrid Star Vinicius Jr. After Champions League Win

 

LONDON, UK - JAY-Z has amassed countless trophies throughout his career, but this past weekend, he celebrated another champion. On Saturday, June 1, the rap mogul attended the UEFA Champions League final at London's Wembley Stadium, where Real Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund.

The match ended in a 2-0 victory for Real Madrid, courtesy of goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr., securing the Spanish team's record 15th Champions League title. Before the match, JAY-Z was seen greeting Vinicius Jr., who is managed by Roc Nation Sports, JAY-Z’s sports management company. The hip-hop icon waved to fans as he took his seat, showing his support.

The highlight of JAY-Z's night came after the final whistle. He posed for a selfie with Vinicius Jr., who proudly displayed his winner's medal. The photo also included JAY-Z's longtime friends and business partners, "OG Juan" Perez and Jay Brown.

Vinicius Jr. joined Roc Nation Sports in July 2023, following Roc Nation's acquisition of Brazilian soccer agency TFM Agency. Perez, president of Roc Nation Sports, highlighted the significance of this move, emphasizing Brazil's central role in football and the company's growing influence in the sport

This wasn't the first time JAY-Z and Vinicius Jr. posed together. In May 2023, the soccer star shared a photo with JAY-Z on social media, captioning it "LEGEND."

In other news, JAY-Z had shown interest in purchasing the English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur last year, following legal troubles faced by the club's owner, Joe Lewis. Although Lewis later pleaded guilty to securities fraud and avoided jail time, JAY-Z did not end up buying the team. Since selling his stake in the Brooklyn Nets in 2013, JAY-Z has not acquired ownership in any major sports !-- JalewaAds - Ad Display Code -->
