Nelly has his business hand in everything, from his successful line of women's jeans wear to his recent gig as an underwear model for Sean John. Now the St. Louis rapper can add another "owner" title to his resume as he has just announced the closing of a deal that names him the owner of energy drink company ZizZazz.

As one of the fastest growing energy drink companies in the U.S., ZizZazz made its debut last spring and immediately made an impact on the industry because of its portable single serving packaging.

"I'm excited to partner with ZizZazz, the drink mix helps my energy stay high during rehearsals and performances as I gear up for the release of 'Brass Knuckles,'" Nelly explained to AllHipHop.com. "I didn't want to just endorse it; I wanted to be part of the growth of the company. ZizZazz is a product that definitely fits my lifestyle. I can throw a few in my bag, grab a bottle of water and I'm set."

"Brass Knuckles," Nelly's fifth studio album, is set to hit stores on September 16. It features appearances from Chuck D, Fergie, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Ciara, and Usher.
