Man Sues Jay-Z For Non-Payment Of Royalty For His Debut Album 'Reasonable Doubt'
One music promoter has come to say that Jay-Z owes him 10 years unpaid royalty for his 1996 debut album 'Reasonable Doubt'.
The clamant, one Raynard Herbert, said he was instrumental to the success of the rapper's album in the way of helping in the aspect of mastering, and also with getting a distribution deal for Roc-A-Fella based on the agreement that he will own one percent of the album royalties.
In the lawsuit, Herbert admitted that he used to get cheques for his royalty payment from time to time until November, 2008 when he claimed cheque stopped coming.
As obtained by the TMZ, Herbert in his legal documents alleged Jay-Z would not respond to his inquiry on why cheques have stopped coming when he reached out to him in May 2010.
He is now demanding that the court orders the '4:44' rapper and Tidal boss to cough out all the amount he owes him which will include interest accrued, damages and to make it worth it payment of extra fees.
