Jay Z Gets Sued, Nate Dogg Sues Suge Knight

by JOKESTA

FRIDAY JANUARY 19, 2007

Jay Z Gets Sued

Looks like theres more bark in your coats than you thought. Jay Z’s Rocawear clothing line has become the latest target of The Humane Society of the United States. According to reports, The Humane Society is accusing Rocawear of using dog fur in their clothing lines, even though their product are advertised as fake fur. Real raccoon dog fur was discovered by The Humane Society in one of their coats. Last December, a similar investigation found that raccoon dog fur was also being used on a coat in SEAN COMBS Sean John collection.

Suge Knight Sued

Westcoast Rapper, Nate Dogg has filed suit against Suge Knight citing that his repeated demands for owed royalties have been met with threats of violence and lies.

According to The Smoking Gun.com, Nate Dogg is suing Knight for more than $10 Million in owed royalties. Nate Dogg alleges that Knight has “shamelessly” exploited him and refused to pay royalties. When he would ask about the payment of monies owed, he said he was either “threatened with violence,” told he was not owed anything, or promised an accounting at some point.

Nate Dogg describes himself as “one of the most recognizable names in urban music,” but claims that he is “unsophisticated in record company business dealings.” He also added that he was unsure whether he had signed any contracts granting Knight or Death Row rights to his musical compositions or masters.
