The creator of the Roc-A-Fella logo is suing Jay-Z for $7 million in unpaid royalties.
Roc-A-Fella is synonymous with the rapper, businessman, NBA team owner Jay -Z, and now a New York designer is suing Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella label partners for $7 million dollars in unpaid royalties for not being properly compensated for designing Roc-A-Fella’s logo.
As released by NYDailyNews, the designer, Dwayne Walker filed the suit yesterday claiming he has not received sufficient royalties for designing the logo. He claims that in 1995, Damon Dash had a logo in mind and Walker told him he could do better and created the Roc-A-Fella we all recognize today.
From the lawsuit, “The logo has become universally recognized as an iconic symbol of Jay-Z, one of the most successful recording artists in the history of popular music”.
My notes:
If Dwayne Walker accusations are truth, Pay that man his moneys. Crazy how the people who does all the leg work got the short end of the stick. Come to think about it, The drawing could of only taken a day or two to make an 7 million for a few days work ain't bad. Big question is why did it take so long for him to file a lawsuit? ..... Slacking. 7 Million is like chump change to you.
