Following his teammate Victor Cruz, the North Carolina native becomes the 7th athlete to join the firm as the agency continues to grow since its inception in 2013. Other notable clients include Kevin Durant, Robinson Cano, C.C.Sabathia, and Skylar Diggins.

Nicks is currently a free agent and is probably hoping Mr. Carter‘s team will broker a deal that is even just a fraction of what was brokered for Cano.

Many doubted the agency’s ability to attract and manage contractual dealings of the firms’ signees, however, after a little less than a year into the venture the firm has seen nothing but growth.

Congratulations to Mr. Nicks, who is undoubtedly celebrating with a complimentary bottle of Ace of Spades–Mr. Carter and Co. know how to get you paid.

Earlier this week Joe Budden got a chance to pick the brain of Super Bowl Champion Victor Cruz. Cruz, who plays wide receiver for the New York Giants, chopped it up with Joe during a visit to the XXL offices. The conversation spanned a range of topics, but you know it eventually turned to Cruz’s world-renowned salsa dance. It’s always great when sports and hip-hop meet up, and this is just another example in action. Be sure to check out the video below.
