Jay-Z Sued by 40/40 Designer

Interior designer Ilan Waisbrod, the man behind the look and feel of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Sports Bar in New York City, has filed a lawsuit against the rapper, according to United Press International. Waisbrod, founder of design firm Studio Gaia, claims Jay-Z replicated the design of the club’s flagship Manhattan location for the newly opened Atlantic City property, a move he says violates the terms of the agreement between the two parties. The suit also charges that the Def Jam exec also planned to use similar designs at clubs he is set to open in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Singapore.
