Former Waitress Brings Class Action Suit Against Jay-Z and the 40/40 Club

A former employee at the Manhattan location of the popular 40/40 nightclub, partially owned by rapper Jay-Z filed a class-action lawsuit against the sports bar and nightclub.

The former claims that she was paid below minimum wage, was forced to work for tips, had to pay for her breaks and spilled drinks and was not paid overtime.

This isn't looking good for Jigga and the 40/40. I'm curious to see how this one plays out, because the results of this occurrence could have a trickle-down effect that will spill-over to similar situations at other night clubs in the city.
