Ant been Nas manager since Untitled Era.
One of the absolute best managers in music, and if he was white he would have been fast tracked to run a label years ago. Now that he's got Kendrick (and Dave Free) in the mix he's really stunting on people, success wise. Just win after win. One big thing I think people overlook when they focus so much on Jay/Roc Nation conspiracies is that a lot of the younger execs and managers in urban music right now are from LA. And a lot of them have ties, directly or indirectly, to Kendrick. When you look at who helped secure both of Kendrick's Amazon shows (the Paris one and the Pop Out), Tim Hinshaw...he's from Compton. You look at Saleh...he's from LA. You look at who is one of the last big A&Rs left at major labels, who curated GKMC and DAMN while also funneling the best producers to TDE and getting Kendrick/Dave into the fashion world, it was Brock Marciano...he's from LA. Lot of other people too. They got their man and are funneling the plays to him whenever they get in position. Same shyt happened with Jay in New York. I don't think Kendrick can be or wants to be Jay, I'm just talking about the way Jay always had the next big play lined up to get him bigger and bigger.

And the Olympics are in LA in four years. And once the Super Bowl is over and that shyt is a hit, guess who will be called about performances, designs, executive production, etc: Kendrick and Dave. I swear, Saleh in the perfect positon to quarterback all this shyt. And shout outs to Nas who is doing big things in LA too.

You cats just be talking

The divorce from kelis exposed the man's finances to a different level of scrutiny. Basically was penalized for under reporting. Over a 3yr period.

Ended up working out a deal n paying back 3m

Avoided an actual court case . Never appeared in court.
I think we just said the same thing. You just have the details. lol

Started with Nas during the Hip Hop Is Dead era. Nas fired his whole team and made Anthony his primary manager during the Untitled era. Anthony helped Nas make the deals with Hennessey, 310 (shoe company) and Bevel that helped him pay off his taxes. Anthony also helped Nas put together Queensbridge Venture Partners which invested in Ring, Lyft, and Coinbase. Anthony currently manages Nas, Future and Kendrick.
