Friends With Benefits: Celebrities Who Successfully Work With Their BFF - Page 3
Jay Z & Tyran “Ty-Ty” Smith
Jay Z and Tyran “Ty-Ty” Smith have been friends long before Hov became the reigning king of rap. After the Brooklyn rapper cleaned up his image and went corporate, Ty-Ty followed suit and worked as an executive under Jay at both Def Jam and Roc Nation, overseeing the careers of Rihanna, Wale and Ne-Yo. Remaining cool with Jigga even earned Ty-Ty a SAG card for his onscreen role in 2002’s State Property. Not a bad tradeoff for having Jay’s back through thick and thin.
