Jay-Z is Getting Sued

The 40/40 Club, which is co-owned by Jay-Z, has been hit with a lawsuit for playing music with out paying royalties. Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), who filed on behalf of a list of artists which includes Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and R. Kelly, claim Jay-Z's club played songs without proper licensing. TMZ reports:

Although Jay-Z and Pharrell are musical pals (they collaborated on "Frontin'), Williams is still demanding some coin from the Jiggaman -- Pharrell's song "Touch" was allegedly played without a license. A rep for the 40/40 Club says the club hasn't been served with legal papers, and adds that "under no circumstance" would songs by R. Kelly, whose tune "Thoia Thoing" is mentioned in the suit, be played in Hova's house."
