A court has ordered that Jay Z will have to face the music on a lawsuit filed in July 2012.
Almost two years ago a fashion designer, Dwayne Walker, sued Hov, Dame Dash and fellow Roc co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke for allegedly taking Roc-A-Fella logo that Walker designed in 1995.
According to a press release (dated March 20), Walker claims that Jay Z, Dash, and Biggs promised to give him $3,500 and 2 percent of the revenue for 10 years after the first year of the logo’s use. Walker says the $3,500 was paid in full but he never received royalties and is reportedly owed
$7 million in royalties.
“We are pleased with the court’s order,” Gregory Berry, Walker’s attorney, said in the statement. “For over 18 months Jay-Z and the other defendants have done everything they can to avoid swearing under oath to the events that led to the creation of the logo. With the decision today, the defendants’ delay tactics must stop, and Mr. Walker’s quest for justice can move forward.”
