Roc Nation and Versace Unveil Multiyear Collaboration

On Friday, Roc Nation revealed a multiyear agreement with the renowned fashion brand. Versace affirmed that the collaboration will emphasize event sponsorships and “cause-focused initiatives,” particularly those dedicated to nurturing emerging talent. This commitment encompasses sponsoring scholarships for the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment, a program focusing on entrepreneurship, music, and sports management.

“Central to both Versace and Roc Nation is human capital and a commitment to creative empowerment, celebrating individuality and fuelling positive change,” Roc Nation said. “Championing artists across music, entertainment, and broader cultural landscapes will be underscored through the partnership.

Today marks the official commencement of the partnership, as Versace sponsors the Roc Nation Sports 2024 Super Bowl event. This collaboration follows the entertainment giant’s alliance with the NFL since 2019, where they’ve contributed to the league’s social initiatives and the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

“With its global reach, the National Football League has the platform and opportunity to inspire change across the country,” Roc Nation founder Jay-Z previously said. “Roc Nation has shown that entertainment and enacting change are not mutually exclusive ideas—instead, we unify them. This partnership is an opportunity to strengthen the fabric of communities across America.”
