Lil Wayne set up his own sports agency earlier this year called Young Money Sports, so that he can help the athletes he signs off the field with their marketing and branding.

Colleen Dominguez from Bleacher Report sat down with Weezy a few months ago to ask him what made him decide to start up a sports agency, what he thinks he specifically brings to the athletes he signs, why he signed American football linebacker Reggie Northrup, and more.

In the interview, Reggie also revealed why he signed to Tunechi to become the first member of Tune‘s latest business venture. You can check out the conversation in a video after the jump below!
