JAY-Z Sued Over ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Royalties

JAY-Z has been sued over royalties for Reasonable Doubt, according to TMZand confirmed by documents obtained by Pitchfork.

Raynard Herbert aka Ray Rae claims that he helped master and land a distribution deal for Hov’s debut album in exchange for 1% of sales. Documents show that Herbert received checks up until November 2008; he then followed up with the label about payments in 2010 but got no response.

JAY, Damon “Dame” Dash, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke are being sued for breach of contract and unjust enrichment, asking for not only the percentage he’s owed, but interest, damages and extra fees too. Herbert says JAY ACTED “with malice and in conscious disregard” of his rights.

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
