During one of his most recent rants, Kanye said that JAY-Z owns his masters and is taking his money.
Given that his early career is tied to Roc-A-Fella Records, it wouldn't be the most unlikely of scenarios.

"That's not true. JAY-Z does not own Kanye West's catalog at all," CTG explained. "I heard it from a very reliable source ... Kanye is just playing the victim and looking for sympathy."
