Jay-Z & Partners Sued For Unpaid Royalties From Creating Roc-A-Fella Logo
Dwayne Walker, a New York City clothing designer, is suing Jay-Z and his former Roc-A-Fella record label partners for $7 million in unpaid royalties for designing their label's logo.
According to NY Daily News, Walker filed a suit in Manhattan yesterday alleging that he was not properly compensated for his work.
"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," the suit claims.
Walker originally designed the logo in 1995 when Roc-A-Fella started. The suit says he saw the initial logo that Damon Dash had in mind, and said he could do better.
