First it was Jay-Z and now rapper Lil Wayne is interested in getting into the sports management business and his first client is going to be a mega star.
According to TMZ, Lil Wayne is starting his own company and will bring on Portuguese and Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo as his client. It's a big fish to reel in for a first-time sports manager -- probably the biggest in the world -- but Ronaldo and Lil Wayne are friends, making the connection an easy one to make.
More from TMZ on the arrangement:
We're told Weezy's company will be working with PolarisSports -- which is affiliated with the CAA agency and GestiFute -- through which Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes operates.
