JAY-Z is reportedly working on new music, according to longtime friend and collaborator, Memphis Bleek.
While the rap legend has not released an album since 2017’s 4:44, Bleek hinted that Jay was hard at work on something new.
Speaking on Drink Champs, he said: “I just was with him in Vegas. He just came out on the show, like, yo, my n-gga, they went stupid.”
Bleek continued: “I said, ‘Listen, I know you working. Save me a verse.’ He’s like, ‘Alright, I got you.’ So if it happens, it happens.”
Of late, Jay has been battling legal issues after a woman accused him and Diddy of raping her when she was 13.
She then dropped her suit after numerous discrepancies were discovered in her story.
Jay would then file a defamation lawsuit against the woman and her attorney, Tony Buzbee.
The rap legend and business mogul claimed to have suffered serious financial harm as a result of the accusations.
The filing claims Jay “lost other contracts in the sports and entertainment space that would have generated revenues of, at least, $20 million.”
The Roc Nation founder claims the total would have been far higher if the contract had been carried out.
Jay also claims that he was denied a $55 million credit line and that Roc Nation itself was refused a $115 million loan from a bank.
The filing further states: “We have agreements to produce entertainment programs for certain sporting events. After Mr. Buzbee filed the lawsuit, the media reported that other businesses could end their deals with Roc Nation, and forced one to speak out and address whether these false allegations would end our business relationship.”
Jay’s accuser and her attorney were attempting to get the suit dismissed, claiming her allegations were made in court documents and protected by the law.
She also claimed that an interview she did with NBC was based entirely off the contents of the court documents.
Buzbee also previously filed a motion to dismiss, claiming that he and JAY-Z had come to an agreement.
However, Jay’s attorney claims that no such agreement exists: “Total lie. He brought a false case, lost badly and was forced to dismiss quickly. End of story.”
