Jay-Z has become the latest musician to take legal action over songs played in entertainment venues - he's filed suit against a tea house in Alabama.
Jon Bon Jovi, Gwen Stefani and Taylor Swift are all suing venues over allegations their music has been played in bars without a proper licence - and now the hip-hop mogul is following suit.
Jay-Z has filed papers against bosses at the A Spot of Tea venue in Mobile, Alabama, which doubles up as a nightclub, alleging they have played his songs without permission.
The star's action comes as part of an investigation by The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, a performing rights organisation which collects royalties, according to TMZ.com.
