Prince’s Record Label Officially Sues Jay Z’s Roc Nation

Prince’s NPG Records has officially sued Jay Z’s Roc Nation for illegally streaming all of the late singer’s hit songs. According to the legal documents, Prince made a deal with Roc Nation before he passed to stream his last album, “Hit N Run: Phase 1.” Allegedly, Roc Nation thought this meant they had the green light to stream all of Prince’s music. NPG is now suing for copyright infringement and to block any continued streaming outside of the final album.
