$7,259,061.31

Posted by Robin on 8 June 2023 5 Comments

TMZ Hip Hop has learned Paralux [sic] Fragrances sent $7,259,061.31 to Jay's team on Wednesday -- that's what the company owed him after losing the lawsuit it filed, way back in January 2016, claiming the mogul hadn't lived up to promotional obligations for the cologne Gold Jay-Z.

        But it is the principal of the thing, isn’t it? What a luxury, to able to spend time and money on fine points of creative misappropriation…
