Word on the sidewalk is that a nightclub owner in new York City is accusing Jay-Z, his crew and a few of his record exec friends of skipping out on a $1,500 bill earlier this year. We hear the owner is pressing charges too.

In February, Atlantic Records executive Michael Kyser and Universal Music Group honcho Shawn Costner invited rapper Jay-Z and his crew out to M2 in Chelsea, NY. But the club’s owner, Joey Morrisey says Kyser and Costner are refusing to pay their $1,500 tab, which had a bottle of Patron and a ton of expensive champaigne on it.

“Jay-Z ordered a bottle of Patron Platinum and some expensive champagne, and everything was going great,” M2 man- ager Dan Develin tells Page Six. “The waitress has known him for five years, and he’s a good friend of Joey’s, so we ended up comping a lot of their bill.”
