![]() ![]() It is our understanding that you take umbrage to any wording that Jay-Z “won” anything in halting your initial auction of the “Reasonable Doubt” album, and that the case is still going?ĭASH: Right. The real proof though, is that I’m going to do the auction and no one is going to stop me. My lawyer is filing papers to ask the court to make it that they must abstain from any meetings or votes until such point in time that the auction can take place. It’s going to time to proof, but they’re looking to alter public perception. They’re muddying the waters for me to sell. We’re filing paperwork as to who is in control of this company before the court.ĭASH: But why does he want to be my partner so bad that I can’t sell my shares? Come Friday, they can’t change the bylaws. ![]() ![]() Since October 1995, those titles haven’t changed, as to who has control to call meetings and place restrictions, hold votes and file litigation. That’s a known fact.īHUSHAN: In October 1995, there’s paperwork where Jay-Z signed on as an artist. Everybody knows I am the CEO, and that Jay was the artist.
