(EXCLUSIVE) Jay Z Fined By Judge In “Big Pimpin” Lawsuit

Then on November 12th, docs were filed by Fahmy in which he accuses Jay Z of playing even more games in the legal battle. He claimed that the rapper refused to hand over financial documents regarding how much he made per concert in which he performed “Big Pimpin”.

The man accused Jay of not handing over the information in an attempt to ruin his ability to put together his case for the trial and demanded he be sanctioned monetarily for his behavior in the case.

Back in November, the federal court judge came back and sided with Fahmy. The judge ordered Jay Z and Timbaland to hand over all financial records of the money they made per concert performance where Big Pimpin was performed.

Further, the court ordered the rappers to hand over all license agreements where they allowed others to use “Big Pimpin” to be sampled from 1998-2001.

Then on May 21st, Fahmy filed docs demanding Jay Z and his lawyer be slapped with a $100K sanction for playing dirty legal games in the case. He explained that the judge ordered the rapper to hand over all documents pertaining to his income from concerts where “Big Pimpin” was performed. However, Fahmy says that he had only received documents that are almost completely redacted with no information about the concert income.

He stated that the documents were uploaded to a website by Jay Z’s lawyers but the docs couldn’t be saved or printed — therefore making it impossible to look over the information. His lawyer asked Jay’s legal team to fix this and they refused.

Fahmy wanted Jay Z to be found in civil contempt for refusing to follow the judge’s order. He requested that Jay pay a 100k fine along with 1k a day until he provided the documents he was ORDERED to deliver.

Jay Z filed docs days later blasting Fahmy, claiming he provided all the documents and the redacted portions were highly confidential terms of his deal with Live Nation. He said that he followed the judge’s order and demandied he not be sanctioned 100k.

On May 28th, the judge came back and slapped Jay Z with a $3,000 fine for his actions and ordered him to hand over all Live Nation contracts via hard copy or thumb drive. The order states the rapper is not to make the documents available via a password protected website and ordered him to pay the $3k due to him causing the plaintiff to return to court over this issue.
