Police have reportedly identified a possible homeless suspect who is known in both Manhattan and the Bronx. Authorities have not publicly disclosed a motive. The investigation into the reported threats remains active, with no suspect in custody.
Perez, 56, has spent years helping shape Roc Nation’s business and entertainment operations. She became CEO in 2019 after previously serving as the company’s chief operating officer, per her bio. Perez has spoken about the confidence required to reach leadership positions in an industry historically dominated by men. In a 2022 interview with REVOLT, she said being strong is important, but emphasized that strength can look different for everyone.
“What strength represents to them is their version of that definition versus someone else’s,” Perez said. “So, I mean stronger — and strong as in whomever you are in the room with. I said, ‘confidence’ because you just can’t be afraid.”
She also summed up her approach more simply: “You have to have confidence. And you have to be strong.”
