Rapper and businessman Jay-Z is reportedly on the outs with the new ownership of the New Jersey Nets. The singer was brought in as a part owner of the Nets several years ago after he convinced ownership he could help the club land star players. However, during LeBron James’ free agency, the superstar apparently refused to take calls from Jay-Z. That reportedly put a strain on their friendship. It has also caused people around Russian billioaire and new Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov to consider Jay-Z “dead weight.”
