Roc Nation Demands Dismissal from Fat Joe’s Explosive RICO Lawsuit as Serious Allegations Surface

“Yet, according to plaintiff, the fact that Roc Nation had a business relationship with Mr. Cartagena somehow makes Roc Nation part of a RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] enterprise, a participant in sex trafficking, and an aider-and-abettor of Mr. Cartagena’s alleged conduct. That is nonsensical,” Spiro writes in the motion.

The defense strategy hinges on demonstrating that Roc Nation’s role as a music business manager provided no insight into Dixon’s compensation arrangements or alleged mistreatment. Spiro emphasizes this disconnect in his filing:

“How Roc Nation supposedly knew of this deplorable alleged conduct is a mystery. He does not assert how Roc Nation’s management of Mr. Cartagena’s music business gave it insight into how much plaintiff should have been paid, what he was paid, or any venture to deprive him of adequate compensation.”

Plaintiff’s Attorney Acknowledges Strategic Separation

Dixon’s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, has signaled his intention to oppose Roc Nation’s dismissal motion while simultaneously acknowledging the company’s strategic positioning. His public statement reveals a nuanced understanding of the legal dynamics at play.
