Shawn Corey Carter (born 4 December 1969), known as Jay Z, is an American rapper and businessman. He is one of the world's best-selling music artists.
In 2009, a troll used Carter's pseudonym as a nickname for a lawyer persona named James Zylberstein,[1] which was used to persuade Chris to change the names of the real-life people used in Sonichu, most notably with "Mary Lee Walsh" becoming "Slaweel Ryam". Although the name was a clear nod to rapper Jay-Z, Chris failed to recognize the reference. Despite this, some future real-life characters, such as Jason Kendrick Howell, still used their real names.
Jay's emails with Chris were posted on PVCC, including one email where Chris 'pretty much explained everything he's ripped off'. Unfortunately, Jay Z did not save these emails, nor did any of the PVCC members, so they are now completely lost to time. Former CWCki admin Champthom described these emails as 'hilarious stuff'[2].
Mentions in Gregg Mays E-mails
According to Chris in the Gregg Mays E-mails, Zylberstein was his sole legal contact with Nintendo and served as the ultimate authority on all matters related to copyright and troll detection. Chris repeatedly invoked “my lawyer” to validate Gregg Mays’ legitimacy, threaten legal action, and justify his own paranoid ramblings.
At one point, Gregg Mays claiming to be a web designer for Nintendo asked Chris for both his username and password to his Tripod account in order to implement a new “system” for the website. Chris promptly handed over the credentials. Gregg then hijacked the site and falsely claimed that Sega had taken it down. Chris later claimed that Zylberstein confirmed Gregg was a troll and that Sega had no intention of suing him, thereby granting Chris the high ground (in his own mind).
