Hip-hop star Jay-Z is at the center of the SEC's investigation into New York licensing firm that purchased his Rocawear clothing company for $204 million.
The SEC is calling Jay-Z as a key witness and wants to see his communications with the firm, Iconix.
After ignoring two subpoenas, he is now being forced to testify - which the star is calling a "celebrity hunt", as he claims he is no longer involved with Iconix. However, there are claims that Jay-Z was involved with the firm when Rocawear ran into financial trouble in 2012, when Iconix was accused of misleading investors, which, if true, means that he will have to testify.
