The America's National Basketball Association is investigate Jay-Z. The rapper is neither in trouble neither for slamming dunks nor for rhyming did about Lebron James, but he visits a team's locker room after their game.
Being a celebrity is not alongside NBA rules. But when Jay-Z visited the Kentucky Wildcats' locker room on Sunday night, he was not purely a famous musician paying his respects he is part-owner of an NBA team, the New Jersey Nets. The Wildcats are in reality the University of Kentucky Wildcats, a college team full of young prediction and there are rules prohibiting contact with future draft picks.
Although Jay-Z did not break any regulations at the college level, he may have motivated NBA bosses, who have reportedly launched a probe into the incident. If found to have had unfortunate conversations with players who are not yet draft suitable, Jay-Z could face a considerable fine. In 2007, an employee of the Boston Celtics was made to pay $30,000 (£18,693) for "excessive contact" with the family of then-student Kevin Durant. In that case, "excessive contact" involved sitting beside Durant's mum.
The meeting took place at Newark's Prudential Centre, home of the Nets, shortly after the Wildcats' regional final win over North Carolina. Jay-Z was reportedly waiting in the hallway as Wildcat players returned to the locker room. “I said, 'Oh that's Jay-Z” forward Terrence Jones told the Louisville Courier-Journal.
