Roc Nation Has Proof of Fat Joe Shake Down?

Two months ago rapper Fat Joe was hit with a $20 million civil lawsuit filed by his former hype man, Terrance "T.A." Dixon, accusing Joe of grooming and dating underage girls [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Roc Nation, who was named in the suit, is claiming to have receipts of T.A.'s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, trying to use public pressure to force a settlement...

Roc Nation says attorney Tyrone Blackburn’s own email proves a lawsuit involving Fat Joe was a setup to pressure the company into a settlement.

AllHipHop has confirmed that Roc Nation asked a federal judge to dismiss the $20 million lawsuit and sanction attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who represents plaintiff Terrance “T.A.” Dixon.

The company says Blackburn admitted in an email that Roc Nation “may have been defrauded by Fat Joe as well,” a line Roc Nation calls a “devastating” admission that undermines the entire case against Jay-Z’s company.

“This lawsuit was meant to harass and embarrass Roc Nation on the public stage,” the company’s legal team wrote in its motion.

The email, sent just hours after Roc Nation filed to dismiss the case, is now central to the company’s argument.

Roc Nation says the message proves Blackburn and Dixon had no valid reason to drag the company into the legal battle and that the suit was filed in bad faith to create public pressure.

Blackburn did not address the email in his response to the motion and Roc Nation pointed out that silence as further evidence of misconduct.
