Jacob the Jeweler's company, which has adorned everyone from Madonna to Kanye, is suing Wyclef Jean because the recording artist never paid for his jewels. Newsday reports that Jacob & Co. Inc. filed papers in a Manhattan court yesterday claiming "the hip hop musician bought several items between March 2002 and January 2006 for $765,100" and "still owes $319,680 despite repeated demands for payment." Meanwhile, Jacob Arabov, the man behind the bling, was sentenced to over two years in federal prison last month for lying to investigators about his business transactions with a multistate crime ring. Last year Harry Winston learned that if a celeb "borrows" some jewelry it's as good as gone.
