Jay-Z and one of his business partners are suing Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, claiming he named his Dominican nightclub after the mogul's chain of 40/40 clubs.

The lawsuit accuses Ortiz of calling his Santo Domingo club Forty-Forty in the hopes of trading on the rap star's fame.

The suit seeks over $5 million in damages and for Ortiz to forfeit any use of the 40/40 name.
