American rapper Jay-Z is filing a suit against a store based in Sydney, Australia for using his picture and lyrics in one of their books. The book titled 'A B to Jay-Z'features a line from the rapper's popular song '99 Problems''If you're having alphabet problems I feel bad for your son, I got 99 problems but my ABC ain't one', reported a news agency.
According to the store, the book was dropped two years ago and was sold out within days. The rapper's lawyers describe Jay-Z's efforts to fight the suit as "a deliberate and knowing attempt to trade off the reputation and goodwill" of his image.
The complaint also alleges that the store had made a "false and misleading representation" that Jay-Z had given his nod to their product.Most recently,Jay-Z made headlines earlier this month when he inaugurated his Shawn Carter Foundation Gala at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino which raised a total of $ 6 million.
The event was graced by a number of celebrities with their presence including - Gloria Carter, Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, Robert Kraft, Normani among others.
