Jay-Z wins legal fight to bring diversity to an all white panel in trademark case

Jay-Z is not one to shy away from bringing diversity to center stage. The multi-award winning rapper and music mogul just won his legal battle to have six Black candidates included on the arbitration panel handling his trademark dispute, Page Six reports.

Last year, Jay-Z sued The American Arbitration Association in Manhattan Supreme Court for having a arbitration panel that was “too white” to handle the dispute with clothing company, Icon over trademark infringement claims. The claims relate to his Roc Nation hat line.

The rapper turned businessman argued in the suit that there wasn’t one Black arbitrator on the Association’s national “Large and Complex Cases” roster.
