LOS ANGELES [July 29 USA Herald] – Entertainment giant Roc Nation has escalated its defense strategy by filing aggressive motions to dismiss all claims and impose sanctions against the attorney representing Fat Joe’s former associate. The company alleges the lawsuit represents a calculated attempt to extract settlements through media manipulation rather than legitimate legal action. This high-stakes legal battle centers on explosive allegations of criminal enterprise activity spanning over a decade.
Roc Nation, the entertainment powerhouse, founded by Jay-Z, has filed a comprehensive motion in federal court demanding the dismissal of all claims against the company while simultaneously seeking sanctions against Blackburn, whom they accuse of weaponizing the legal system for publicity and financial gain rather than pursuing legitimate justice.
