Hov’s Roc Nation and legal team face a lawsuit accusing them of misconduct, including bribing clients to file frivolous lawsuits
Jay-Z is dealing with numerous litigation issues since someone has recently sued his company, Roc Nation, and his legal team at Quinn Emanuel for misconduct. Filed last Friday (January 3) in Harris County District Court, the lawsuit accuses the two of partaking in unethical practices, including the latter offering former clients of the attorney Tony Buzbee as much as $10,000 for filing frivolous lawsuits against him.
Buzbee is the counsel for the anonymous woman accusing JAY-Z and Diddy of sexual assault at a 2000 Video Music Awards after-party. Thus, his former client, Jose Maldonado, has since filed this new suit claiming that Buzbee’s reputation has been intentionally damaged by illegal actions.
So, the current case is the latest installment in the JAY-Z, his lawyers, and Buzbee legal wranglings. It comes with others, including an extortion case JAY filed against Buzbee in November, and further cases in Harris County against Roc Nation and Quinn Emanuel regarding the same claims of misconduct.
A spokesperson from Roc Nation said otherwise: “Instead of focusing on evil committed by former clients through lawsuits, Tony Buzbee intends to create distractions- nonsensical lawsuits… The lies that are laid on this court will not hold up.”
Legal battles are on for both sides without any end in sight.
