Rapper/entrepreneur/club owner/Yankees fan Jay-Z, along with his business partner, is suing Red Sox star David Ortiz. In a lawsuit filed yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court, the two claimed Ortiz named his Santo Domingo nightclub after Jigga's 40/40 chain of clubs (which are located in NYC, Atlantic City and Vegas). MyFox5 reports that Ortiz's club, called Forty-Forty, is allegedly named after hitting 40 homers and stealing 40 bases in one season. The lawsuit states, "David Ortiz is fully aware of Plaintiff's Manhattan 40/40 club, since he had been a patron there on several occasions before he opened his Infringing Forty/Forty club." more ›

Earlier this month word came in that a Manhattan judge had ordered Jay-Z's 40/40 club management to turn over records of all employees in the past three years, for a class-action lawsuit filed by a former waitress. The suit claims the workers never received overtime or minimum wage. Now The NY Post reports that the club's general manager, Desiree Gonzalez, has told (ahem, threatened) some employees who might join in the suit. Allegedly she warned that she would "[bleep] up his tax life" to one, and told another she'd "lock him up" if he failed to sign a release from the suit. more ›

Jay-Z's Manhattan nightclub 40/40 is under scrutiny for screwing over the little guy. The NY Post reports that a Manhattan judge has ordered the club's management turn over records of all employees in the past three years, for a class-action lawsuit filed by former waitress Celeste Williams. She claims that workers never received overtime or minimum wage, and now could have hundreds of others joining in on the suit (which already has around 20 bartenders on board). This isn't the first lawsuit against the club. more ›
