The NBA is investigating New Jersey Nets minority owner Jay-Z after he visited the Kentucky Wildcats locker room after their victory over North Carolina.
The rapper reportedly congratulated the University of Kentucky’s players and coaches for clinching a Final Four berth when they beat the Tar Heels in the East Regional finals on Sunday at the Prudential Center, home of the Nets.
But since Jay-Z is a minority owner of the Nets, under the league’s rules he isn’t allowed to have contact with college players who are not yet eligible for the NBA Draft.
NBA spokesman Tim Frank told The Associated Press the league is looking into it.
