Jay-Z’s 40/40 Hit With Class Action Lawsuit
Jay-Z might have to shell out a lot of his hard earned dough to bartenders and servers at his New York hot spot, the 40/40 club.
According to the Daily News, current and past workers of the sport bars may be eligble for a payout as a part of a class action suit, said Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska on Tuesday (July 1).
Around 20 workers accuse club managers of making them work for tips only, cheating them out of overtime and forcing them to pay for breaks and spills as well as “walkouts,” said the paper.
If the workers win the case, hundreds of former employees could be eligible to collect, their attorney says.
Jay-z should have been more involved in the hiring process, and maybe the managers would know better.
Diddy & Jay-Z Fight Over Attention?
Hip-hop moguls, Jay-Z and Diddy, were rumored to have got into a heated argument backstage at a party at Cannes last week. Sources say the two got into a tiff because they didn’t wanna share the spotlight at the party. Apparantly, Diddy tried to take the spotlight when he took over duties as DJ from Jay. The former president of Def Jam wasn’t having it.
A source said, “They had a huge long row backstage. Diddy wanted to get on stage to DJ and entertain the clubbers, but Jay-Z didn’t want Diddy to steal all the spotlight. Jay-Z was shouting at Diddy, saying, ‘No way man, no way.’ and Diddy was shouting back — it was a nightmare for the organizers. In the end, they agreed to both go on stage together and sing ‘New York, New York.’”
Sounds like two attention hungry rappers to us. We’re surprised they settled to share the stage.
