Oops! Jay-Z is in trouble over a basketball game. There was no popping of caps in asses, let alone a drive by, but it appears that he’s fallen foul of the National Basketball Association of America by visiting a band in their rooms after a game. Now, you’d be considered fair for wondering why it would be an issue for the ’99 Problems’ star to go and hang out in a stinky locker room, but apparently it’s against the rules.

Because Jay-Z is a part owner of the New Jersey Nets, he is actually prohibited from contacting other groups in the league when the youngsters are at draft level. Hence, when he went to check out the University of Kentucky Wildcats the other week, he made the mistake of sitting next to star player Kevin Durant’s Mum during the match, and as such has fuelled the ire of sport officials.

Jay-Z may now be facing a fine of up to $30,000 for “excessive contact” but considering he’s got another 98 other problems and he’s loaded, this bitch ain’t one.
