“Can’t ignore it, that’s the fastest way to get extorted,” JAY-Z once rapped on his 1997 song “Streets Is Watching.” According to Complex, JAY-Z was warned by the FBI to delete his e-mails as he was the target of a recent hacker attack.

The report doesn’t go any deeper as far as details pertaining to if JAY-Z did in fact delete the e-mails or have his account’s security compromised.
