New York - A federal judge has ordered Jay-Z to appear in court next week to say why he's dodging a subpoena related to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of a company that bought his Rocawear clothing line. Without a sufficient excuse, Jay-Z will be ordered to appear before the SEC in Washington on 11 May and will be required to answer questions for as many days as it takes, the judge said. A statement issued on behalf of Jay-Z by one of his representatives said the entertainer had no role in Iconix Brand Group's financial reporting or its other actions as a public company.
