In a hard-knock ruling for Jay-Z, a New York state judge has ordered the rap mogul to answer questions about his ongoing legal fight against a fragrance company, and to have that deposition videotaped.

According to Billboard, Jay-Z’s deposition in the breach of contract suit filed by Parlux Fragrances was originally scheduled for Aug. 27, but was canceled when he learned it would be filmed. Attorneys for the rapper filed a motion on Sept. 20, pointing out that “depositions of other high-profile celebrities have been leaked” and his brand could be harmed if “tabloids like TMZ” came into possession of that film.
