Word on the CityStreetz is that both Jay-z & Dame Dash are being sued for stealing the story for their movie "State Property.". Antonne Jones of Philadelphia claims that he wrote a book called The Family: A Philadelpia Mobb Story. Antonne claims that he met with Dame and Jay-z back in 1998 and offered them the rights to the story for 500,000.
Dame and Jay-z were only offering a mere a 50,000 for the story, which Antonne declined. Antonne saids that he never heard from Jay or Dame again but in 2001 his story was used to create the Rocafella movie "State Property." State property grossed 2.1 million dollars and Antonne is furious.
I cant be mad at ya boy. When you think of all the money Dame and Jay makes there is no reason for why they couldnt give this man 500,000 for his story. There is nothing worst than a person who makes it out of the struggle and then cheats his peoples. This man wasnt askin for a hand out, he was tryin to sell his talent for what he felt it was worth. If Jay and Dame are guilty they need to pay this man his bread.
