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.

Cordae Has Signed With Wasserman

Cordae has signed with Wasserman for global representation, which, in retrospect, feels less like a career update and more like a foregone conclusion. When your name sits comfortably in Grammy nominations, your Spotify streaming numbers hover around 5 million a month, and your top cities include Chicago, Sydney, and Toronto—well, you’re not freelancing the next chapter of your career.

Cordae’s not new to evolution. He started in the YBN collective, spun off into solo stardom with The Lost Boy, and built a reputation on being the guy who could hold his own in a rap cypher and also get dinner-table approval from your NPR-loving uncle. He’s the rare artist who raps like he’s writing a memoir but still sounds good in a playlist between Travis and Doja.

His latest album The Crossroads, released via Atlantic last year, doubled down on this duality. Features from Anderson .Paak, Lil Wayne, and even Ye—because apparently Cordae’s

Jamal Roberts Has Signed With UTA for Representation

Jamal Roberts has signed with UTA for representation, because when you win American Idol with 26 million votes, you don’t just get a trophy—you get a seat at the grown-up table.

Roberts, the 27-year-old P.E. teacher from Meridian, Mississippi, isn’t your typical reality show victor. He’s a father of three, a former gospel contestant on Sunday Best, and now, the first Black man in 22 years to win Idol—a feat last achieved by Ruben Studdard in 2003. His path to the crown wasn’t paved with industry connections or viral moments. It was built on soul, sweat, and a voice that made judges cry and viewers vote in record numbers.

His finale performance of “Her Heart” by Anthony Hamilton wasn’t just a song—it was a sermon. And when he followed it with “Heal,” a cover so personal he added his own verse, the audience didn’t just applaud—they testified.

Roberts’ signing with UTA signals a shift from school gymnasiums to stadium

Netsky Signs with Wasserman

Netsky has signed with Wasserman for worldwide representation—excluding North and South America—because when your fanbase spans five continents and your genre of choice moves at 174 BPM, you need an agency that can keep pace without asking for a translation.

The Belgian producer, known for wrapping drum and bass in melody and serotonin, currently pulls in nearly 2 million monthly Spotify listeners, with top cities like Brussels, London, Auckland, Prague, and Manchester—essentially a map of places where people still believe in dance music as therapy.

His latest release, “Out of Body” with fellow Belgian Andromedik, came via Payday Records and leans into what Netsky does best: high-energy euphoria that somehow still feels personal. It’s not just DnB—it’s DnB with feelings, bottled and filtered through synths that sound like sunrise and regret in equal parts.

Tetairoa McMillan Has Signed Endorsement Deal With Jordan Brand

Tetairoa McMillan has signed with Jordan Brand, because if you’re going to be the most stylish wide receiver to come out of the 2025 draft, you might as well make it official with the Jumpman logo stitched to your every route.

The Carolina Panthers rookie is the only NFL rookie to sign with Brand Jordan this year, which makes the deal less of a sponsorship and more of a coronation. It was brokered by Klutch Sports Group’s Joe D’Amelio and Zeke Sandhu, which also means it was less of a negotiation and more of a chess move. Klutch doesn’t just sign deals—they curate narratives. And this one’s got layers.

McMillan dropped hints before the ink dried, showing up to the NFL Draft in the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Black Phantom”, because when you’re about to

Anyma has signed with Satellite 414 for PR representation

Anyma has signed with Satellite 414 for PR representation, because when your live show looks like an alien transmission from the year 2097 and your visuals are giving people identity crises in 8K, you need a communications team that can translate all that into something humans can post on Instagram.

He’s still repped by CAA for live bookings, which makes sense—when you’re headlining the Sphere in Las Vegas, you’re not just “on tour,” you’re building entire digital universes in front of 18,000 people who came for techno and left contemplating the singularity. His “End of Genesys” residency was less “concert” and more “interactive cyber-opera,” complete with AI avatars, architectural hallucinations, and a level of production that suggests someone at Afterlife has hacked the time-space budget.

As one half of Tale of Us and co-founder of Afterlife Records, Anyma (aka Matteo Milleri)

Getter Has Signed with UTA

Getter has signed with UTA for representation, which feels like the official next chapter for an artist who’s made a career out of doing everything a little bit sideways.

Still managed by ALL BUT 6, the producer/rapper/meme engine currently racks up over 465,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, with his top cities reading like a Bass Canyon field guide: Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Dallas. If you’ve ever had your ribcage tested by subwoofers in any of those zip codes, odds are Getter was involved.

Born Tanner Petulla, Getter built his name in the early dubstep explosion—first as the guy your favorite DJ was sneaking into sets, then as a bona fide headliner with his own cult following. He released early bangers

DVBBS has signed with Ace Agency

DVBBS has signed with Ace Agency for worldwide representation, because when your discography still causes spontaneous crowd surges and your drop catalogue doubles as cardio, it’s probably time to recalibrate the booking strategy.

Ace will represent the duo globally, with North America (U.S. and Canada) handled in collaboration with IAG (Independent Artist Group)—a smartly layered setup for a group that plays both global mega-festivals and highly curated cross-genre shows.

Still managed by STRVCTVRE, DVBBS first detonated onto the scene with “Tsunami”, the 2013 hit that became EDM’s unofficial natural disaster. The 2014 vocal version with Tinie Tempah went No. 1 on both the UK Singles and Dance charts, and the track hasn’t really stopped echoing through festival fields since.

But this isn’t just nostalgia. DVBBS has 12 platinum singles,

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Signed An Endorsement Deal with Hola Prime

Karl-Anthony Towns has signed on as the first-ever sports ambassador for Hola Prime, a fintech platform that’s apparently decided the best way to explain trading to the masses is through a 7-foot All-Star center with a three-point shot and a knack for brand synergy.

The campaign—titled “#SpeedIsSuccess”—leans into the idea that trading is like basketball: fast-paced, strategic, and best executed by someone who’s already made $70 million in career earnings. Towns, who joined the New York Knicks in late 2024, is now applying his on-court agility to financial markets, or at least to the marketing of them.

This isn’t Towns’ first foray into endorsements. His portfolio includes partnerships with Beats by Dre, Dove Men+Care, Fast

Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano Has Signed with Anna Agency

Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano have signed with Anna Agency for representation across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania, which is less of a “new era” move and more of a finely-tuned geographic shuffle. The duo stays with UTA for North America, because of course: when your tribal-house empire spans four continents, you need a multi-pronged booking strategy that’s as layered as your percussion tracks.

The Dutch DJ-producer pair first broke out with 2013’s “S.O.T.U” (with Nicky Romero), a Beatport Top 100 smash and a track title that still reads like EDM shorthand for world domination. Since then, they’ve served up peak-hour anthems like “Triton,” “Salute,” and “Come Follow,” cycling through Spinnin’ Records before staking out their own lane with SONO Music under the Armada Music umbrella—a label that doubles as a calling card for their distinctively

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Sign with Independent Artist Group

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have signed with Independent Artist Group for representation, which is probably less about a change in direction and more about updating the machinery behind one of dance music’s most persistent export operations.

The Belgian-Greek brothers have built their careers on scale: crowd sizes, BPMs, and enough pyrotechnics to register on climate maps. Ranked No. 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in both 2015 and 2019 (and reliably hovering around No. 2 in between), they’ve been EDM royalty for over a decade—and like most royalty, their empire runs on infrastructure. Smash The House, their label founded in 2010, still churns out festival bait with algorithmic precision.

Their catalog includes massive crossover moments like “Tremor” with Martin Garrix and “Higher Place” with Ne-Yo, but the real asset is their presence. Think Tomorrowland, Creamfields, EDC, UNTOLD, and
