has a problem with an Australian company using his name and lyrics to sell books ... and now he's taking the Aussies to court., Jay claims Australian online retailer Little Homie is engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct to hawk a children's book titled"AB to Jay-Z."
In the suit, Hov reportedly claims Little Homie is infringing on his copyright for lyrics from his hit single,"99 Problems."The book's back cover reads,"If you're having alphabet problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my ABCs ain't one." The phrasing is obviously a play on Jay's famous hook,"If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
Jay's legal team reportedly fired off a cease and desist to Little Homie back in March 2018, but his lawyers claim the retailer kept deliberately using his likeness and lyrics in a flagrant and glaring way. We've confirmed Jay filed suit against Little Homie earlier this week in Australian Federal Court ... and the book is still for sale on Little Homie's website, marked down to $17.97.
What the NFL $$$$ has run out

There are mostly rhymes. They are pretty door lyrics.
In was going to say something about this because I had to quit wrotting in my notebook because they stole those ideas instead of these ideas because really niggas don't get internet.

That’s interesting because I always thought 99 Problems was originally Ice T
Definitely see why Jay would sue.
Even more ridiculous: he stole the line from Ice-T.

Does Jay-Z make more money off of record sales, or lawsuits? 🤔 Anyways, Hope ICE T gets his cut ✊🏾
