Jay Z Suing David Ortiz Over 40/40 Name

by EJah on Apr.16, 2010, under Hip Hop Politics, News

Jay ZDavid Ortiz from the Boston Red Sox has a club in the Dominican Republic called the 40/40 club.  Everyone knows Jay Z has clubs in NY, Atlantic City and Las Vegas named the 40/40 Club.   The lawsuit claims that Ortiz cannot claim ignorance to the name because he’s been a guest at the 40/40 Club before,  Jay Z is suing for $5 million.  This lawsuit shouldn’t hold water because first of all 40/40 club is originally used for baseball players who hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in one season.  So should Major League Baseball sue Jay Z for using the 40/40 Club as a name too.  It just doesn’t make sense, Jay Z has been known for his business sense but this is taking it a bit too far.  What the heck is Ortiz using the name 40/40 Club for his business any way, he never stole 40 bases in his life?!?
