JIGGA'S BROKE TOO??? Jay Z Isn't Paying His Bills … Lawyer Calls Him A 'DEAD BEAT'!!!

: We know it sounds unlikely … but MediaTakeOut.com has been hearing whispers for SOME TIME NOW that rapper Jay Z’s finances are not as great as the folks over at Forbes Magazine would have you believe.

According to one of MediaTakeOut.com insiders, in the past few years Jay Z’s music ventures, real estate ventures and restaurant ventures have all lost BOATLOADS of money. And now his attorney, in a lawsuit against his 40/40 club, is claiming that Jay Z isn’t paying his bills.

Here’s how the NY Post is reporting it:

Attorney Michael DiMattia says his client [Jay Z] is a Grammy Award-winning deadbeat -- and he wants out.

"We are seeking to withdraw because . . . our requests for payment have been ignored," DiMattia wrote in a letter to Manhattan Federal Court Judge Loretta Preska.

"It's astounding," said Rex Burch, a lawyer for the workers. "For rap's biggest mogul, you'd think this amount of money would be chump change."

Bey … it may be time to break your husband off a lil…

notheruser

The camel wearing a suit doesn't make him an astute businessman. At least he's got access to Bey's moolah to bail him out.


coercion

Most rich people don't pay their big bills right away... nor do they file taxes by April 15th

YAWN!!!

Leave him alone while he's murding singing azz rappers and loud azz colors please... this mission is important to all of us!!!!


Dixon_B_Twenher

Oh so this is why he retires then unretires then retires then unretires.. Hmm I didnt know that


SoWhat1

Jay-z is paying every $5 million vacation and last year he gave Beyonce a $5 million ring.

I mean..Beyonce did a good job marrying jay, she can save all her money and she doesnt even have to give him some kids.

JAY BETTER DIVORCE NOW!!

yogi

chardon28

Not so far fetched even the biggest stars fall nobody considers the over head when things aren't going so well. hummm hope not


trixie

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE GOOD MAYBE HE JUST REALLY MIGHT RETIRE FOR GOOD THIS TIME


trixie

HE IS A DEAD BEAT RAPPER AS WELL


MiiZPorkchoP

lol i cosign wid the comment above me lol but i doubt hes goin broke even tho i could care less about his music


Sexxie69

well since that whore of a wife can't seem to keep her clothes on he can put her on the strip with her fake ass talking about how holy she is hoely is right stunt. See if she can get a ring on that with those whack ass songs that all sound alike gimme a break jigga and his whore


trixie

I BELEIVE EVERY BIT OF IT THERE WAS A REPORT JAY WAS TRYING TO BUILD A HOTEL IN NEW YORK ,THE BANK REFUSED TO LOAN HIM THE REST OF THE MONEY HE DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH FOR HIS SHARE THATS WHY HE THERE PIMPING HIS PARNTER B


imsickoftvnradio

I believe the story because a lot of people do not pay their bills rich or not.

But Jay may have someone to take care of things but a smart business man should sign their own checks and keep up on things.


MildlyAmused

I can believe he isn't paying his bills. Rich people are given so much credit, that they HATE when its time to pay up. Just get sued and settle. It'll probs cost you less. *shrug*


MIAMIFINEST305

He ain't broke, but people with money are very stingy, they don't like to pay nothing because they feel everything should be free to them


XuXa

IMPOSSIBLE


aniyaqt

That's right! Bey goin' hook him up HA HA HA HA


aboutmybusiness

No one stays on top forever. Be careful when you try to keep people down because your turn might be around the corner and the same people that you step on might be the ones to help you. No one is above poverty. Hope this is a lesson that all will learn, not just everyday people entertainers too.



RebuttalREJECTED

The same NY Post that said Beyonce was being sued for refusing to honor a $200k PERFORMANCE contract By Club M2???

[link to external website removed]

Then the above document (THE CONTRACT) was released refuting such claims?? Beyonce is paid $200k for ONE hour just to sit around & look pretty.

Sorry NY Post that Bey $h1ttin' on every singer you pit her against. Yesss... I think it's best you go after her hubby. :-D

Isn't it time to pull the "he's cheating on her with some broke down b1tch" rumor outta ya @sses???

:-D


crw227

BROKE PLEASE IF BEYONCE GOT MONEY I KNW JAY-Z GOT MONEY


shida25

There are two sides to a story I don't believe it that he is broke


CeeCe

Well that would explain why he keeps tryin to put out music!! Too bad it SUCKS!!


MadamePC

MC "god's" don't have to pay bills!!!

they should be honored by his lateness!!!

lol ...


PEEWEE06

Yea right MTO


PunchDrunkPretty

I can believe it. Being a business bum is NOT the same as being a personal bum.


LoveyDove804

It was only a matter of time before that s**t happened


customcalendars4u2

When you leave paying your bills up to other people sometimes some of them fall through the cracks. 4u2.com


kimpeach

Jay-Z is not broke, but he is NOT as rich as some people think he is. He lost his Live Nation contract. He made several bad business decisions. He lost his job (as an executive) at his label. Several of his business dealings have fell through or have resulted in lawsuits. And most importantly, we are in a recession. Even billionaire Warren Buffet is cutting back. Why do you think he is releasing another album this year after "retiring"?


KyDerbyPrincess

yeah whatever, I'm not paying My Lawyer n e more money either, I payed what he asked 4 & now He want's more


Kryssy1913

MTO...yall eally need to get it together with these wack a$$ stories! Im sure Jigga is nowhere near broke...if anything, the lawsuit is bogus. NEXT!


prettyfaceAKA

Remember he's a hustler...and his stimulus plan was to...marry the little country girl with a wagon full of cash to bail him out...she got him...as soon as she said on TV "I'm set"...I knew then the devil was gone make her eat those words...cause she already not liked in the important Hollywood circles..."Jigga...what's my muhfukkin name, my [EXPLETIVE]"...remember what Bobby Brown did to Whitney's finances ?...


HotSauce

Hey, just because you're worth millions doesn't mean you have millions available in cash. I doubt if he's broke.


hottestmilf

well that explains y he had to fake retirement and unretire a lot of these artists r really broke but they try to portray this high lifestyle in the public eye jus too keep up they name



luvin_life

bu[SPAM]lllllllllll


MaximumMedia

LOL WELL IF HE GOES BROKE BEYONCE CAN HAVE HIS BIG EGO!


Pablosocho

Well if dame is broke why wouldn't jigga be broke him and bouncy ain't got no real marriage he can't act he can hardly talk the best thing he was good at he start being white washed with. Oh well time will tell.


demi77

all that trickin at chanel for bey


yupIsaidit

can you really believe this??? no. there's no way. when your net worth is about or over $400 million and you have your hand in every venture to make money and save money and make more money. there's no way your going broke any time soon.


PrettiestMamiiAlive

lol @ the caption on the pic


willdillzuk

capricornboi80

PAY YOUR DAMN BILLS INSTEAD OF SPENDING YOUR TIME HATING ON CHRIS BROWN.............................

JAY-Z IS A LAME AZZ CHUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


hot2trot

He's been a dead beat for a long time. Half these new money ppl are living off freebies and comps.


TaffyTHYCKZ

Damn, Jigga man got NO figures? DAMN!-


dollish

doubt it. Damn yall got some borin news 2day


ebbieb

LMFAO BULLSHIT!


msINtense

I dont think that Jay Z is broke,but maybe on the cheap side: paying his Attorneys their money.If its true that he may be going broke,Jay may need to cut back on some of his expenses a bit.


Foxy90210

HE'S NOT BROKE!


coco526

I doubt he's broke he probably not making as much money as before.but he far from broke plus he got Bey to pay the bills



nubian24

Well, could be. I mean anyone who's foolish enough to call himself Hova or "Jay"Hova is probably foolish in finances. You know what they say, a fool and his money will soon part ways.


LIPSTICK

That's why I wouldn't open up clothing lines, restaurants, etc, if I was a celeb. That's how they lose money.


Shilee

he been a deadbeat cuz he don't even take care of his child


bajanbaby_995

bey got him!!!!!!!!! lol


fckforfood

Jay-Z is a niccah in a suit. He is still a hustla at heart. Relentless and sold out for money. Anyone in his way will get trampled. He is a freemason. He is no role model for young men in America.


MrsJV

That's what his camel-faced ass gets!!! No good will come 2 u when u tryna stop sum1 else from eatn/shining!!! Bet he won't try that [EXPLETIVE] w/Jim Jones n 'em!!! I used 2 ride w/jay but now he's just as bad as the rest.... But.... Doubt if he's really broke... Lol

grownazzmen

JAY-Z IS TRYING TO SIGN A GROUP CALL GROWN AZZ MEN,FROM MEMPHIS BUT P.DIDDY GOT THEM ALL READY.


Dreayonn

Buuuullshid!


Spelmanite08

No, he probably didn't want to pay the lawyers...


Spelmanite08

He just didn't want to pay his lawyers.He used that money to pay off MTV/BET execs not to let Chris Brown perform so that he could stick up for his side bitch Rhianna at the same time he spent time with wifey Beyonce.


ICEDAFLIEST

TIRED OF THEESE 2 LAM ASSES



Ransomed

Bey will upgrade him.


onlymypeoplecount

IM SURE JAYZ IS NOT BROKE .BUT I DONT REALLY DONT CARE ..I DONT CARE FOR HIS PRESENCE ANY WAY. HIS MUSIC IS NOT THAT GREAT.. AND HIS AND BEYONCE'S MARRIAGE IS ONE THEIR PR TEAM'S PUT TOGETHER.... OH AND I DONT LIKE THE WAY HE HANDLED THE CHIS BROWN ISSUE NO BLACK PERSON SHOULD KEEP ANOTHER ONE DOWN. THATS THE WHITE MANS JOB.


Pumpkin123

Kenny266104

Ms_Panther

Maybe it slipped Jay's mind..


rainbowkiid

[EXTREME HA8S] HE NT BROKE GOD


mzarrogance

I doubt he's broke but I've never believed he was as rich as most think. A lot of what you see on Forbe's lists (celeb and non) are inflated numbers. One can assume how much you make but they don't know what these people are bringing home.


BigAce

MAN HE GOT STACKS HE BEAN IN THE GAME FOR A LONG TIME

UuGLYhAGS_NEEdLIVES

Broke busted and disgusted!


notheruser

That's why he keeps coming back after retiring.


meleenium

He'll bounce back and when he it will be a lesson learned. Much support J


M-M

I don't believe he's broke, but I do believe he didn't pay his attorney. Jay is just like the average person who may have the money to pay a bill and just won't pay it. Not smart.


stuck_n_itown

This is the problem with the black community. Every time we get $$$ we have to STUNT HARD ON EM. Money is a tool but it isn't everything. However, I doubt that this story is 100% true though.


choclatdrop

WOW.

He just puthim all the way out there.

Too bad he cant keep him from getting other clients like he kept Chris off the BET awards.

bet awards were whack anyway.


purplereign

im just waiting for him & bey's "FAKE" marriage arragement 2 be exposed. he makes more money off Jay-z & Beyonce - the power couple, than he can alone. Best believe papa knowles still got control


Markquis17

LMAO,IF ITS TRUE THEN OH WELL.....


HotRadioBabe

Jigga may be alot of things.... but BROKe aint one of them!
