Jay Z has not been so busy landing Robinson Cano his mammoth contract he has forgotten about his other clients. Jets quarterback Geno Smith said his agent gave him some advice during a recent three-game slump that helped him through it.

“I talk to Jay a lot,” Smith told The Post. “He gave me some good advice. He told me to not take [criticism] personally. It’s not that people don’t like me. It’s not at me. It’s the position that I’m in. Just realize the position that I’m in comes with a lot of scrutiny. You can’t take it personally. You just have to live your daily life.”

Smith hired Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports to represent him in the spring after firing his initial agents following the NFL Draft. Smith received criticism for the move, but he said Thursday it was the right move for him.

“It’s been great,” he said. “I think I made the absolute correct choice. Some of the best people I’ve met, great mentors from all areas. They treat me with so much class, my family and everyone. It was definitely a great move.”
