#JAY Z REASONABLE DOUBT ITUNES TRIAL#
They know I went all the way to trial with my federal case, and I won. Being that I’ve been in prison a lot of times, a lot of people know my credibility. I can’t believe my own daughter’s godfather is trying to get me hurt. But he’s into subliminal messages, so he’s trying to get me hurt. When he talks about you on “No Hook,” is he accusing you of snitching?I think he’s talking about the way I went about this YouTube project. Jay didn’t have no affiliation to Spanish Jose. Spanish Jose, who he mentions a lot, was a friend of mine. He definitely didn’t sell nothin’ in Marcy. He nickled and dimed, but nothing on a major scale. He was there to see things, but doing some big-time Frank Lucas–type thing? No. My mom also got him out of jail.ĭoes Jay exaggerate his drug-dealing in his songs?I’m telling you he overexaggerates. We had sex with the same women plenty of times. So, we shared clothes, we shared a whole bunch of stuff. I taught him some things, but I mainly kept him from being out on the street a lot. When will he shut up? After being called out in “No Hook” off American Gangster, De-Haven gives another interview, surprise surprise.ĭid you and Jay sell drugs together?No, he ain’t do much selling drugs. The rapper-turned-CEO recently celebrated his 38 th birthday in Paris. They still have a ways to go before a decision.” One person close to Jay said, “The talks will continue when returns to New York. Reid and his boss, Doug Morris, are said to have found Jay’s demands “excessive.”īut friends of Hov rebuffed the claim that Reid and Morris have had it with Jay, saying, “They are still actively negotiating,” In light of the little time Jay’s been spending on tour, Island/Def Jam CEO L.A. Everybody at Universal loves him, but they can’t justify paying him the money he wants when so many people have been laid off.”
“Everybody knows he’s not around the office much. “People have lost count of how many times he’s come out of retirement,” the source said. “He wanted big, big money that was way out of sync with the realities of today’s record business,” a source told the New York’s Daily News. Jay-Z‘s Def Jam contract expires at the end of this month but renewal negotiations between the mogul and parent company, Universal Music, have reportedly reached an impasse.
