"David Ortiz was at the club at least twice, and certainly knew of it," Jay-Z's lawyer, Peter Raymond told the News.
As proof, the filings reportedly include photos of the designated hitter partying at Jay-Z’s club on W. 25th Street.
Ortiz’s representatives did not return calls for comment by the News or The Associated Press.
Besides the New York club, Jay-Z boasts other 40/40-branded hotspots in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Chicago, Tokyo and Macau.
