Teletubby 150,162 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Jay-Z took the witness stand in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday to testify about perfume. Jay-Z was sued in 2016 by Parlux Fragrances, which accused him of failing to meet his contractual obligations as part of the launch of his Gold Jay Z cologne. He maintained his innocence on Friday, telling the court, “you have me on trial from something I didn’t do.” Parlux filed a breach of contract suit against Jay-Z in 2016, claiming he had earned $2 million in royalties but the company had lost $18 million in the collaboration. In a sworn statement the following year, Parlux alleged that the rapper was supposed to do a series of events to push Gold — via Good Morning America, Women’s Wear Daily, and an in-store appearance at Macy’s — but that he “never once personally appeared.” The fragrance company said the rapper rejected a design for a Gold Jay-Z bottle with an 18-karat gold exterior that was worth over $20,000, but that he pocketed the prototype. The Empire State of Mind artist then counter-sued Parlux. He accused Parlux of failing to hold up its end of the deal, furnishing him with inadequate accounting reports and promotional resources, among other things. Notably, he said the company still owed him $2.7 million in royalties. source source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
