The 46 year old rapper who is worth a whopping $560million is being sued for $20million for failing to promote his own fragrance!!!
The manufacturer,'Parlux Fragrances' filed a lawsuit against Jay Z on Tuesday in the Manhattan Supreme Court, with the papers claiming the star failed to to promote his own fragrance.
It was reported that the rapper who is married to singing sensation Beyonce, was meant to make at least six promotional appearances including an appearance on Good Morning America, an exclusive interview with Women's Wear Daily and an in-store appearance at Macy's.
In the documents, the lawyer for Parlux, Anthony Viola said ''the company worked with Jacob the Jeweller to create five prototypes bottles which had solid gold caps and gold drizzled on the exterior which cost a staggering $20,000 each.''
He said in the papers: 'Mr. Carter rejected all of them and kept the prototype'. And that was not the only thing he kept ,according to the papers, the rapper also kept his guaranteed $2 million up-front royalty fee. Parlux claims the perfume itself was a great product as it was successful at first but alleges Jay Z's lack of support meant interest dropped off.
