The management shuffle is continuing at The Feldman Agency (TFA).

The Toronto-based talent agency has parted ways with Rob Segal, previously president of brands and partnerships.


Segal became a partner in the company in 2023 as part of an expansion to become a full-service entertainment company.

In 2024, Segal was named one of Billboard's International Power Players alongside CEO Jeff Craib. He cited his biggest achievements from that first year on the job as "shepherding the new business in owned and operated properties," licensing and branding opportunities for TFA's artists and launching the first season of The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium, the outdoor concert venue series that then "hit pause" in 2025.

This news comes less than two months after TFA announced a series of internal promotions. Veteran Joel Baskin was named senior vice president, Josie Cheng was named managing director-administration, Amy Lloyd was given a new role as talent buyer, Emma Leblanc took the reins as marketing associate and Jessie Silverstein was promoted to senior coordinator.

The appointments signalled TFA's increased "strategic focus on talent buying, artist support and operational innovation across its offices in Toronto and Vancouver," they said at the time.

When reached for comment, Craib confirms Segal's departure.

"While Rob Segal is no longer heading up partnerships, the exciting operational staff promotions we announced previously speak to TFA’s growth as a company," he tells Billboard Canada. "Our strong work with brands, artists and our properties in this space continues."

The Feldman Agency's talent roster includes major names like Shania Twain, Daniel Caesar, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Josh Ross and Owen Riegling, plus non-music clients like All Elite Wrestling.

Craib and TFA president Tom Kemp were named to Billboard Canada's 2025 Power Players list, citing major tours for Alessia Cara, Mother Mother, Barenaked Ladies, Carly Rae Jepsen, Charlotte Cardin and more.

Drake Responds to Old Rumor That T.I. Associate Urinated On Him: ‘That Story Was For the Net’

Drake responded to an old rumor in a comment on his Instagram.

Drake has responded to an old rumor that a T.I. associated once urinated on the Canadian rapper.

The incident in question became a talking point back in 2015 after Meek Mill claimed in his diss track “Wanna Know” that Drizzy, “let Tip’s homie piss on [him] in a movie theater.” The rumor then gained even more traction after T.I. rapped on the 2020 L.I.B.R.A. track “We Did It Big” that an associate of his got “so drunk in LA” they started “pissin’ on Drake.”
