Memphis Depay is hoping to meet United States rap icon and music legend Shawn Corey Carter, popularly known as Jay-Z in the entertainment scene.

"Hey, I hope so, man. I don’t know yet. I’m often in the States, so, I’m a big Jay-Z fan, so we will see," he is quoted as saying by Complex.

Jay-Z is affiliated with the giant sports wear brand and Memphis' association with Puma could lead to a meet with the business mogul.

"What I like about them, they have all different type of collaborations as well. But then they have also, obviously the Puma Suede, which is really dope. But also the running shoes I really like, they feel like they are fly. These ones, all-white, clean. You can wear them basically with anything, tracksuit, but I like to wear it with jeans," he said after signing the deal.

Memphis also does music on the side, and in 2020 he released his first album Heavy Stepper.
