Jay Z can no longer avoid the lawsuit lobbed at him by the designer of Rocafella’s logo.
Jay Z has been attempting to dodge a lawsuit aimed at him from Dwayne Walker, the designer of the Rocafella logo, but it looks at though he’s gonna have to cooperate after all.
Jay Z, Damon Dash and Universal Music are all named in the suit, in which Walker claims that he’s owed $7 Million for his design. Apparently, Walker was promised $3500 on submission of the logo, as well as 2% of revenues for the next ten years. While he was paid his initial sum, the percentage was never delivered, which with the success of the company quickly climbed to the millions.
“We are pleased with the court’s order,” said Walker’s attorney, Gregory Berry. “For over 18 months Jay-Z and the other defendants have done everything they can to avoid swearing under oath to the events that led to the creation of the logo. With the decision today, the defendants’ delay tactics must stop, and Mr. Walker’s quest for justice can move forward.”
Jay will have to “cooperate with discovery” in the suit, producing documents, as well as participating in a deposition.
No word yet on how soon this will be happening.
