That’s not a response to the point of his statement lol.

Jay Z got a cologne because they came to him with a deal that made sense. He didn’t go looking for them, this was essentially an endorsement deal. Once he kept getting more popular and his other businesses were rising he just distanced himself from the cologne because if it was gonna end up in bargain stores it would bring his overall brand down.


Do you get it now?

The point was obvious if not well stated on a lunch. In school they say show your work. If you reach the right answer by guess work you’re still going to be marked wrong.



Putting all that aside, the case was just dismissed. As always Coli nikkas need to stop arguing with actual lawyers.

Jay-Z Wins Trial Over Soured Cologne Deal

Jay Z is inducted onstage during the 36th Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Oct. 30, 2021 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Wednesday’s verdict came after nearly six years of litigation over the 'Gold Jay-Z' fragrance.
A Manhattan jury on Wednesday (Nov. 10) cleared Jay-Z in a lawsuit that claimed he breached an endorsement deal for a “Gold Jay-Z” cologne brand by failing to properly promote it, allowing the superstar to avoid $67 million in requested damages.

Capping off a contentious three-week trialover the soured product deal with Parlux Fragrances LLC, the jury was apparently swayed by arguments from Jay-Z's attorney that asked “why on earth” the star would have put his name on a product that he wanted to fail.

Wednesday's verdict awarded nothing to Parlux, but also declined to award any money to Jay-Z, who had sought roughly $6 million in royalties he said he was still owed under the deal.

"You failed to prove your case, they failed to prove their case," Justice Andrew Borrok said to an attorney for Parlux after the verdict was read aloud in court. "You're excused."

"I’m not a lawyer,” Carter reiterated. “All I can say is I have creative control over what I do with myself and my body. No, I did not read the contract.”

nikkas say I'm too dumb to be a lawyer but this what these high priced cacs lawyers prepared for their client to say on the stand.
