JAY Z SUED FOR STEALING PARTS OF HIS OWN MEMOIR "DECODED"

Nothing says success like getting slapped with a lawsuit.

Jay-Z is the latest music mogul to face a copyright infringement lawsuit — though, in the “Watch the Throne” rapper’s case, the legal troubles stem from his writing, not his rhymes.

In a case filed June 13 in Los Angeles, Patrick White accused Hova of lifting portions of his writing and using them as his own in the rapper's best-selling book “Decoded.”

“In 2009, my personal computer was compromised, resulting in my personal work to be used in Jay-Z’s book 'Decoded' which was released in 2010,” White claims in the handwritten lawsuit.

“The book contains various expressions/colors/phrases which correlates to my work,” he continues. “After contacting or attempting to contact the co-aurthor, I got no reply.”

According to Allhiphop.com, White is also including author Dream Hampton and Random House publishing in the lawsuit seeking unspecified damages.

Jay-Z’s 2010 bestseller is a collection of lyrics and the story behind their meanings, making it highly unlikely that the claims hold any merit.

White is seeking damages for copyright infringement and invasion of property.

Damn! Jay Z Lying? Don't tell me Jay aint bout that life
