Jay Z’s 40/40 club hit with more employee claims
According to online reports, rapper Jay Z faces more damaging claims from current employees of his 40/40 nightclub. Employees say Jay Z’s manager, Desiree Gonzalez, is forcing them to sign a waiver releasing the club from damages in the ongoing class action lawsuit against Jay Z and the club.
Any employee who refuses to sign is threatened, according to documents filed in a Manhattan court today. Federal Judge Loretta Preska agreed that Jay Z violated his employees rights by denying them overtime wages, among other violations.
Meanwhile, Jay Z reportedly treated his entire entourage to a lavish $20,000 meal after he performed at a concert in Paris, France, last week. We wonder if Jigga ever took his employees out for a fancy meal - or does he consider their minimum wage salaries and meager tips to be all the compensation they need?
If that wasn’t wasteful enough, Jay paid a grip to have a watermelon (a watermelon!) carved in the likeness of Beyonce (or Rihanna’s) breasts this past weekend. The watermelon breasts were delivered to Jay’s $5,000-a-night hotel room after his concert at the 3rd Annual Thisday Africa Rising Music Festival.

I’m not even remotely a Jay-Z fan … so all imma say is .. who cares ?
I would show my ass too if i was rich like dat!
That Watermelon stuff sounds like a BIG pile of Bu**sh*t! If the conditions were that bad, why didn’t the employee’s quit?
If you are in the lime light, pay your ppl or they will embarrass you.
Really now?
@Sandra
If you don’t get some of that hate out of your blood your going to explode.
Does he consider their minimum wage salaries and meager tips to be all the compensation they need?
^^Obviously the employees did because they stuck around. Hell, they applied to work there so they knew what their wages would be… Hate to say it, but welcome to the real world; where u’ve over-worked & under-paid. GET OVER IT!!! (right, Sandra?)
His money, his problems!
that picture of him makes me want to throw up….uggg.
LMAO. Sandra is really desperate. You know Jay and Bey are doing something right when someone who dont even know them have this much hate towards them. LMAO
@brwnsugga4you… Me too!!!!!
The whole breast thing is weird…sorry
You are killing me! You act like this n!gga is present in a room, reading resumes and conducting interviews himself! I bet good money that he’s rarely even AT the club, let alone scheduling employees for their breaks and OT!
And do you think the owner of McDonalds is out taking THEIR minimum wage works out to eat $20k meals? F-ck no!
See, that’s why they need to hire some Mexicans to work! They work, get paid and mind their business!
Watermelon breasts???????? Jay is a FREAK!!!!!!!! Awwwwwww yeah I’m really feeling him now. Go Jay LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!
