Two super famous and successful rappers - JAY-Z and Eminem - claim that super infamous and dethroned producer - Harvey Weinstein - still owes them money for work they did. According to Billboard, both artists filed court applications in which they allege that the Weinstein Company owes them six figures each. The fillings were reportedly made as a part of the former powerhouse film studio’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, reports Billboard.
JAY-Z claims that the company owes him over $480,000 for his work as a producer on two TWC documentaries about Trayvon Martin and Kalief Browder, reported The Blast. However, when the Weinstein Company filed for bankruptcy back in March, they announced that the company claimed did not owe JAY-Z anything for those projects. Eminem stated that the company owes him $352,000 for his work as soundtrack producer for the 2015 film Southpaw. "The rapper alleges that only $48,000 of the bill has been paid," reports Billboard.
The Weinstein Company allegedly owes money to other celebrities and stars as well. According to Billboard, the list of creditors announced in the bankruptcy proceedings includes Quentin Tarantino, Daniel Radcliffe, Ryan Coogler, David Bowie, and Malia Obama (among others). The Weinstein Company claimed bankruptcy after a wave of sexual misconduct allegations against its founder Harvey Weinstein.
