Jacob "The Jeweler" Arabov, New York diamond and jewelry merchant known for supplying an all-star clientele of rappers with blindingly flashy bling, is suing Wyclef Jean, claiming the rapper owes him money for watches and jewelry he purchased between March 2002 and January 2006, according to The Associated Press.
Jacob and Company Inc. claims in papers filed Tuesday that the former Fugee bought $765,100 worth of goods and still owes close to $320,000, according to the report.
Last month, Arabov was sentenced to federal prison for two and a half years after lying to investigators about his role in a multistate drug ring.
