University of Colorado two-way standout Travis Hunter has officially signed with rapper Lil Wayne‘s Young Money APAA Sports to represent him as he prepares for the 2025 NFL Draft. The agency will handle all of Hunter’s on-field representation and playing contracts. The move confirms Hunter’s connection with Young Money after months of speculation.

Hunter’s signing marks a significant addition to Young Money APAA Sports, the sports arm of Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, which represents notable athletes and celebrities. Young Money APAA Sports boasts an impressive roster that includes sports stars such as Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Dean III, and Quenton Jackson.

Career Highlights: Hunter gained national attention as the nation’s top recruit in the 2022 class. Originally committed to Florida State, he made headlines when he flipped his commitment to play for Jackson State under Deion Sanders. At Colorado, Hunter continued to dazzle, showcasing his talent as a cornerback and wide receiver. His standout performance in the 2023 season included multiple interceptions, receiving touchdowns, and game-changing plays that cemented his status as a top NFL prospect.

Hunter’s exceptional versatility and competitive drive have drawn comparisons to NFL legends like Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson. He was a Heisman Trophy contender in 2024 and made history as one of the few players to receive serious consideration for both his offensive and defensive contributions. At the 2024 Heisman Trophy ceremony, he was seen alongside Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders, and Lil Wayne. The moment hinted at his eventual alignment with Young Money, further connecting his athletic journey with the agency’s dynamic brand.

Jalen Williams Signs Endorsement Deal With Ecko

Jalen Williams, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s breakout star and newly minted 2025 NBA All-Star, has teamed up with Ecko Unltd. as a brand ambassador and capsule collaborator. The partnership marks a smart evolution for Ecko—reviving its streetwear DNA with the help of a player who’s quietly become one of the most stylish, positionless forces in the league.

Williams—“J-Dub” if you’re paying attention—has helped lead OKC to the #1 seed in the Western Conference this season, averaging over 21 points per game and playing with the kind of length, vision, and versatility that makes coaches drool and stylists take notes. At just 23, he’s not only locked in on the court, he’s also building out a brand persona that feels custom-tailored for Gen Z fans: calm, cool, ultra-efficient.

Ecko Unltd., meanwhile, is in legacy-revival mode. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the brand is leaning back into its ‘90s and early-2000s skate-hip-hop ethos, with limited-edition

Canelo Alvarez Signs Endorsement Deal With Amiri

Canelo Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion and global boxing icon, has been announced as the latest brand ambassador for luxury fashion house Amiri. This collaboration marks a significant move for both parties: Amiri expands its influence into the Latin American market, while Álvarez continues to diversify his brand beyond the boxing world.​

Mike Amiri, founder and creative director of the brand, emphasized the shared values between the athlete and the fashion house: “We share a philosophy of excellence and a dedication to inspiring others.” This partnership aligns Álvarez with other Amiri ambassadors, including South Korean rapper Sunwoon, highlighting the brand's commitment to cultural diversity and global reach.​

For Álvarez, this is not his first foray into the fashion industry. He has previously collaborated with luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton, and his association with Amiri further cements his status

Grupo Frontera has signed with TBA Agency 

Grupo Frontera has signed with TBA Agency for live representation, a move that solidifies their meteoric rise from regional cover band to genre-redefining global act. Management stays with Rimas Music. PR? That’s still The Exclusive Agency. But touring—touring is now TBA’s domain, which makes sense, because everybody wants in on the Norteño boom, and Grupo Frontera is currently the house band for the movement.

Formed in 2022 (yes, you read that right), the Texas-based group rocketed to virality with their cover of Morat’s “No Se Va”—a TikTok-fueled slow burn that turned into real chart heat. Then came “Bebé Dame” with Fuerza Regida, which hit No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and climbed all the way to No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. In a pre-streaming era, that might’ve been seen as a fluke. In today’s ecosystem, it was the trailer for what’s now looking like a franchise.

By 2023, they were collaborating with Bad Bunny on “Un x100to,” which broke the

Afrojack has signed with Wasserman

Afrojack has signed with Wasserman for representation in the U.S. and Canada, expanding his already-global operation with a firm known for playing both the mainstream and the underground without flinching. He’ll continue to be repped by ACE Agency for the rest of the world, with The Shalizi Group steering management and Miller PR handling press worldwide—which is to say, the team is large, the inbox is full, and the coordination spreadsheets are probably color-coded by continent.

If you somehow missed the EDM boom of the early 2010s, Afrojack was one of its architects: a Dutch producer who made “Take Over Control” the unofficial anthem of every beach party with a DJ budget, and then parlayed that momentum into global hits with Pitbull, David Guetta, Ne-Yo, Beyoncé, and basically anyone else who could legally clear a drop. He’s the guy behind “Give Me Everything,” “Hey Mama,” and a contributor to “Run the World (Girls)”—which means he’s got festival bangers, wedding reception bangers, and feminist

Corey Stoll Signs With UTA

Corey Stoll has signed with UTA for representation, adding some fresh horsepower to his already well-calibrated team. He’s still managed by Suskin/Karshan and repped for PR by Viewpoint, meaning this isn’t a total overhaul—more like swapping in a new engine under the hood.

Stoll’s one of those actors who’s been quietly excellent for over a decade: dependable, versatile, and always one good role away from full-on household name status. You’ve seen him as Peter Russo in House of Cards (RIP that shower scene), as the buzzing antagonist in Ant-Man, and more recently, as a heavy in Billions and The Many Saints of Newark. He’s the guy casting directors call when they want gravitas without the ego, intensity without the scenery chewing.

UTA’s signing suggests they see more than just a character actor—they see a leading man in waiting. And in a market hungry for grown-up dramas, prestige thrillers,

Giannis Antetokounmpo Signs New Endorsement Deal With Castrol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFbrGnUjOtU

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the official brand ambassador for Castrol through the 2025–26 NBA season, because apparently reigning MVPs and motor oil are now a natural pairing. The partnership kicks off with a cinematic new ad airing during the NBA Playoffs, in which Giannis travels—no, not like that—across land, sea, air, and yes, space to highlight Castrol’s industrial reach. It's less “driving to the basket” and more “driving everything, everywhere, all at once.”

But Castrol isn’t the only pit stop. Giannis will also serve as a face of bp’s TravelCenters

Lincoln Jesser Signs With UTA

Lincoln Jesser has signed with UTA for representation, a move that suggests the alt-pop-electronica shapeshifter is leveling up from bedroom beat-maker to main stage architect. He continues to be managed by Moodswing, the crew that’s been steering his genre-bending, synth-laced, emotionally vulnerable rocket since he first cracked open SoundCloud with sun-drenched heartbreak.

If you’ve been sleeping: Jesser is one of those artists whose Spotify metrics (currently over 269,000 monthly listeners) suggest he’s not just buzzing—he’s quietly embedding himself into playlists from Los Angeles to Sydney, with New York City, Chicago, and Melbourne rounding out the top cities. His latest release, Quema Quema via TH3RD BRAIN, blends Latin-tinged groove and Jesser’s signature moody pop aesthetic into something that sounds like the soundtrack to a night out you almost regret—but not quite.

A former touring member of Foster the People, Jesser’s got live chops too.

That Mexican OT Signs with WME

That Mexican OT has signed with WME for worldwide representation, which feels less like a signing and more like a coronation. Because when you’re a cowboy-hat-wearing, corrido-tinged, Houston-by-way-of-Bay-City firestarter with a beard that’s become its own subgenre of Southern rap, you don’t just join a roster—you kick the doors open and say “We in here.”

His management remains with Good Money Global, and PR with Audible Treats, both of whom have had front-row seats to the rocket ride. That Mexican OT—real name Virgil René Gazca—has carved out a lane so specific it might as well come with a custom belt buckle. His breakout 2023 single “Johnny Dang,” featuring Paul Wall and Drodi, didn’t just nod to Houston’s rap legacy—it iced it out in full grillz and then put it on TikTok where it racked up tens of millions of views.

Orville Peck Signs With Wasserman

Orville Peck has signed with Wasserman for global representation, stepping into a bigger spotlight just as the fringe on his mask starts to glimmer under the Broadway lights. Yes, Broadway. Peck recently made his stage debut as the Emcee in the Cabaret revival at the August Wilson Theatre, because apparently the next logical step after rhinestone-studded country crooner is… rhinestone-studded Berlin cabaret host. His point agent at Wasserman is Douglas Singer.

Peck’s career, which began as a masked mystery and somehow evolved into one of the most subversively mainstream acts in country music, has now reached another inflection point. His third studio album Stampede (2024) was a duet-heavy flex featuring Kylie Minogue, Elton John, and a particularly poignant cover with Willie Nelson that doubled as a love letter to queer cowboy culture. It was the musical equivalent of a rhinestone lasso spinning across genres, generations, and gender norms.
