A Philadelphia author is suing rapper Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter and his former business partner Damon Dash for $15 million, claiming they stole the concept for their movie State Property from his book.

Jones claims he had been in negotiations with Carter and Dash - whose record label Roc-A-Fella was behind State Property - in 1998, but they snubbed his request of $500,000 for the rights of his book, and offered him $50,000 instead. The writer refused the offer and never heard from them again, reports AllHipHop.com. (Starpulse News)
