Music mogul Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports company just lost partner Gary Shaw after recently bringing in the renowned promoter.
According to reports, Shaw and Roc Nation Sports went their separate ways last Friday (January 30).
He was in the process of finalizing the assignment of many of his fighter contracts from his old company, Gary Shaw Productions, to Roc Nation Sports. But things were not going smoothly — there was plenty of infighting at the company, according to various sources — and they decided to part ways in a surprising move. (ESPN)

Shaw confirmed the break-up earlier in the week.
“We gave it a try and unfortunately it did not work out for both parties,” Shaw told ESPN.com on Monday. “It is an amicable separation. Roc Nation was very professional at our meeting and they allowed me to keep all of my fighters and my company, and terminate any agreements we had together. They gave me back my company.” (ESPN)

Jay Z launched his new Throne Boxing event last month in New York City.
While boxer and the rapper may now work together, clearly they are friends as well as they both could not stop laughing as they watched the fight.
The stars turned out to celebrate Jay’s big night including his biggest musical talent Rihanna and also actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Noticeably absent was Jay Z’s wife Beyonce who must have decided to stay home with their little one Blue Ivy. (Daily Mail)
R&B diva Rihanna posted up pics from the event alongside Jay to her Instagram page.
