Jay Z To Develop Animated Series Via New Deal With Adult Swim

Shawn "Jay Z" Carter just keeps putting on a new hat it seems like every month. The rapper/businessman is now stepping into the TV arena via a development deal with Adult Swim which could include an animated series.

The Adult Swim deal marks Jay-Z’s first foray into TV. In 2007, a consortium that included Harvey Weinstein, Sean “Diddy” Combs and the artist formerly known as Shawn Carter made a run at Comcast’s G4 network. At the time, the group looked to take over the gamer channel, with an eye toward creating a competitor to Viacom’s BET.
