Jay-Z sued over "Decoded" book

Music mogal Jay-Z has had yet another lawsuit filed against him, this time by Patrick White, a man who claims that Jay-Z stole portions from his own book, which he Jay-Z then used in his memoir and lyric book "Decoded" which was released in 2010. Patrick claims that in 2009 his laptop was allegedly taken, and Jay-Z has refused to give him the appropriate credit he is entitled to Mr. White states; "My personal computer was compromised, resulting in my personal work to be used in Jay-Z's book 'Decoded' which was released in 2010. The book [Decoded] contains various expressions/colors/phrases, which correlates to my work. After contacting or attempting to contact the co-author, I got no reply." JayZ is currently still on tour with Kanye West, with only two shows remaining, one in Birmingham UK LG Arena on June 22 and the other in Sheffield. Jay-Z also hinted late last year that a second 'Watch The Throne' release may surface at some point, with all these lawsuits between himself and his famous, bootylicious wife Beyonce, he will need more than the one tour, as Beyonce is currently being sued by a gaming company for $100 million.
