(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z has backed out of a deal with the Aqueduct Entertainment Group to invest in the Aqueduct racino it was revealed yesterday (March 9).

According to Crain’s, Jay-Z had an estimated 2% interest in AEG through an entity he has ownership in named Gain Global Investments Network.

The racino project has generated a great deal of controversy because the losing bidders claim New York Gov. David Paterson awarded AEG the group due to his personal relationship with the investors.

In addition to Jay-Z, investor Rev. Floyd Flake also backed out of the deal yesterday due to the mounting controversy and the federal investigation into the deal, which started last week.

“”Unfortunately, my ongoing participation in Aqueduct Entertainment has become a distraction that has taken me and my attention away from the community projects I created and nurtured,” said Rev. Flake in a press statement. Last week and subpoenas were issued to Jay-Z and Russell Simmons in regards to the deal.

Simmons, who served as an advisor to Penn National Gaming, one of the five losing bidders for the contract.

Simmons voiced his displeasure with Gov. Paterson’s decision award AEG the contract, which will allow the company to upgrade the existing Aqueduct Race Track venue with 4,500 video slot machines.

Critics claim AEG’s bid was $100 million less than the other bids, which were as high as $300 million, with other incentives layered into the deal.“I’m not knocking Rev Flake or anyone else associated with any other project. But their’s just wasn’t the best deal for New York,” Simmons wrote in February on his GlobalGrind.com website. “Speaker Silver, Senator Abrams and Governor Patterson, can any of my dear friends in NY government tell me where and when did it all go wrong? At time of great financial stress for the State, when programs for the poor are being cut, I backed what I thought was the best deal for the region, the city and the community. Why didn’t the leadership just take the best deal for the people of New York State? I did.”

DMX was arrested yesterday (March 9) in Arizona for violating the terms of his parole after being found in possession of cocaine

X, real name Earl Simmons, is being detained in a local county jail following his apprehension by the state’s Adult Probation department.

The troubled star in less than a year removed from a 90 plus day stint in an Arizona jail for fraud, drug, and animal cruelty charges. While in custody, he was given an additional 18 months of probation for verbally threatening a corrections officer.

DMX’s lawyer Gary Jenkins acknowledged that the rapper is still suffering from well-documented drug addiction issues, but hoped he could stage a celebrity intervention.

“He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment,” Jenkins stated to TMZ. “We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him. He’s a talented man…we’re praying for him.”

A clearly agitated DMX appeared in a Phoenix court yesterday, where he accused the police of maliciously targeting him and abusing his civil rights.

“Look at the fair treatment going on. I’m the only one in here, I’m the only one who got arrested today,” he stated before launching into a brief obscenity-laced tirade. “Every time they do it to me! My rights are being violated but I got to be quiet about it.”

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a staunch critic of the rapper, explained that DMX should serve serious jail time for what he deems as continued, brazen disregard for the law.

“I’m surprised he came back. he doesn’t like the sheriff, he doesn’t like my office. I’m sure he doesn’t like all the times he’s been arrested,” Arpaio detailed to a local Fox News affiliate. He’s also been a problem. he doesn’t show up for court. I had to send my deputies to Florida twice to bring him back. We’ve been treating him with kid gloves. I think its about time to give him hard time.”

Last week, DMX’s attempt to throw a gospel concert for Independence High School in Glendale, AZ was stopped by school officials amidst fears of violence.

At press time, DMX faces 5 unspecified counts of parole violation.
