Jay-Z

was sentenced to to three years probation on Thursday,

December 6th for the 1999 stabbing of Lance "Un"

Rivera at the Kit Kat Klub. Jay-Z plead guilty to the

stabbing in October. Persecutors were frustrated when

Rivera stopped cooperating, after he received $600,000

in an out of court civil settlement with Jigga.

"If you

are arrested again, that would be a serious situation,"

an agitated judge told Jay-Z after he showed up 15 minutes

late for court, arriving

around 9:15 AM.

"We are

pleased that this case has been resolved in this fashion."

Jay-Z’s lawyer Ben Brafman said.
