That’s funny bc Anthony has been Nas’ manager since 2006. Nas invested in Emagen Management & gave Anthony his first shot just like he gave Stoute his shot.

His profile says 2008 Nas hired him to be apart of the team.. He wasn't the top dog until around Life is Good album.


Why Every Musician Needs A Manager Like Anthony Saleh
From 2009 to 2012, Nas’ personal and financial lives were on public display. The rapper was juggling a divorce, tax issues, and a new album to create, but Saleh served as the main source of support while Nas put the financial pieces of his life back together. Following Nas’ 11th album, Life Is Good, Saleh took it upon himself to help rebuild and rebrand Nas’ commitment to his fans (and concert promoters), as well as negotiate multi-million dollar endorsement deals with Hennessy and Sprite.

Anthony was the only person on Nas’ team. He changed Nas’ outlook on hiring management. He convinced Nas to perform at Virginia Tech in 2007 during the Bill O’Riley controversy when Nas was gone to back out. Anthony worked side by side with Nas and built a trusting relationship without contracts. Nas then decided to officially partner with Saleh and they been unstoppable every since.

Anthony is one of.....
Nas level it's not one guy that does everything.

Based on his earlier interview during covid lockdown, and what has transpired since, Anthony was not even that intune with Nas plans for his next album

He had been around Nas team since 2006. After Hip Hop is Dead appearently he fired most of his management and started over keeping Ant as a junior (he was working beside Troy Carter at Emagen who managed Lady Gaga) and help with finances cause he had a background in finance and artist development

Before that Nas was changing management around and his manager from 2005 was Mark Pitts (Biggie's former manager, who also help set up the meeting with Nas and Jay). I dont know if they had a falling out or anything or if he blames him for the finances being an issue from around that time.

Him calling King's Disease "the most misogynistic album of the year" was that reviewer clout chasing. In doing that, he knew it would grab more attention than him just sticking to the music without trying to politicize that review.
