A man named Patrick White has filed a lawsuit against the “No Church In The Wild” rapper stating that portions of Jay-Z’s Decoded were “stolen” from him.

White’s lawsuit claims that his laptop was stolen in 2009, and that information on his laptop appeared in Jay-Z’s Decoded.

Mr. White alleges that he has tried to contact Jay-Z and Decoded co-author Dream Hampton, but hasn’t heard a word from the music mogul or his co-author.

“The book contains various expressions/colors/phrases, which correlates to my work. After contacting or attempting to contact the co-author, I got no reply.”

Mr. White also claims that his work and the work of Jay-Z are “strikingly” similar and claims his work has been “compromised.”

Patrick White is suing for copyright infringment and invasion of public property.
