Jay-Z Off The Hook In Workers’ Compensation Lawsuit

    Jay-Z’s legal troubles continue, as the Brooklyn emcee has been sued by the Workers Compensation Board of New York.

    TMZ.com reports that the suit alleges that Jay failed to pay worker’s compensation insurance for three months in 2009.

    The insurance, which was supposed to cover domestic employees in the emcee’s home, was allegedly properly paid after the three months.

    The Workers Compensation Board sued Jay-Z for $18,000 in fines, though sources reportedly say that the figure is the result of a clerical error.

    1. Platinum problems. This is a blog entry clearly written by HHDX’s Jay-Z obsessed. Jay and the compensation board? C’mon Son!!!

    2. HHDX POSTED NEWS ON JAY-Z BEING SUED FOR 18K SERIOUSLY.?..WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO POST THIS ARTICLE TO DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE? ALL JAY WILL DO IS GATHER ALL THE RANDOM PENNIES IN HIS GLOVE COMPARTMENT TO PAY THAT FINE..SMH

    3. Is anyone fucking surprised? Dude’s ethically bankrupt but assholes still think he “owns” the Nets… Just another COON frontman for rich white. He might have “paper” but look how he handles his business when it comes to paying BLACK folks.

      1. 1. The fact that you think the workers are black folk shows how backwards you think…. (no where does it say that)

        2. The article says that it was later paid…

        3. The article says the source believes there is an error

    4. The fuck does this have to do with YMCMB? Jay-Z old and washed up. He need to save that 18k for retirement. He ain’t gonna be making any paper in 2012.

    5. Eh… not even I myself took this seriously and thought it was “newsworthy”. 18K to him is nothing. Why would he risk anything over it? Albeit he’s a slimeball and dream merchant…

    6. Fuck were they thinking, of course there has never been a missed payment, hes paid on the highest level and isn’t worried about money the slightest bit.

      1. Funny how you attack Christians, but dont deny Jayz is Satanic! You may not be as dumb as the comment you wrote!
