TGIF! This marks the end of the week and what a week it’s been for some of these folks (good and bad). Here are the top 4 moments from this weeks happenings:

Jay Z’s young sports agency, Roc Nation Sports is looking mighty good lately. Jay Z was able to ink Kevin Durant a 10-year endorsement deal with Nike worth up to $300 million. According to Business Insider:
Last Saturday Roc Nation pulled off what was perhaps its most significant deal to date, landing its most famous client, Kevin Durant, a 10-year endorsement contract with Nike that could be worth up to $300 million. It’s a monster deal. Durant’s last Nike contract was worth $60 million over seven years. LeBron James, the reigning king of the sneaker world among active players, makes an estimated $20 million annually from Nike — less than Durant will make under his new deal — despite his signature shoe raking in a reported $300 million in revenue per year compared to Durant’s $175 million.
Well done, Mr. Carter. Well done.
2. Miss Jackson suing Floyd Mayweather
On Thursday, Floyd Mayweather’s ex-fiancee, Miss Jackson, who is now dating rapper Nelly, has hired super attorney Gloria Allred to file a lawsuit against her former beau. For what exactly? For allegedly attacking her on several occasions and at one point threatening to shoot her. Mayweather does have a past of being abusive to one of his baby mothers, Josie Harris, in which he did 90 days for pleading guilty to domestic violence charges. Not only that, Mayweather has consistently humiliated Jackson numerous times on Instagram, including exposing the fact that she had an abortion.
A video of the press conference was posted to Allred’s YouTube channel and is available below. Watch it for more details.
4. G-Unit Breakfast Club Interview

So while he was dealing with everything at Nike when they were marginalizing him and his Red October creations last year coupled with the limited quantities available for them, he announced that with his new Addidas deal, Yeezy III’s are coming in November.
