Dr. Cornel West is calling his good friend, Jay-Z, out, asking that he be more truthful about his NBA business venture. Specifically, the very vocal author/activist, wants Jay to be honest about his Brooklyn Nets ownership. During a recent speech, West alleges that Jay owns much less than the public knows–one fifteenth of one percent. In fact, he says the person that owns the majority (80%) of the team is a ‘Russian Gangster’.

He explains:
Jay-Z came from the Marcy projects, but look at him now. He owns the whole – no, he owns one-fifteenth of one percent of the whole stadium. Let’s get it right, now. They got a Russian gangster who owns 80 percent. Now I love Jay-Z, I’ve spent much time with the brother. He’s a lyrical genius. But we’ve got to tell him the truth.”
