Jay-Z Sued By 40/40 Club Designer For Décor Replication
40/40 Club interior designer Ilan Waisbod filed a lawsuit against the Club’s owner, Shawn “Jay-Z’ Carter, last week, alleging that the rapper reproduced his décor designs for a new 40/40 Club without his permission.
Waisbod’s design, complete with flat-screen televisions, hanging chairs and a Lucite safe to guard the Cognac and other highly-priced spirits, was allegedly used by Jay-Z for a second 40/40 Club in Atlantic City, the New York Post reported.
Jay-Z was working on the plans to open clubs with similar interiors in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Singapore. The re-use of similar designs, the lawsuitclaimed, was a violation of the club's agreement with Waisbod's design firm, Studio Gaia.
Representatives for the rapper were unavailable for comment as of press time.
In related news, Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing line announced that actress/model Jaime King would become the new face of the line, alongside supermodel Naomi Campbell.
King's next project Sin City 2, is set to premiere in 2007.
