After catching heat for his involvement with Aqueduct Entertainment Group’s plan to develop a casino at a Queens, NY racetrack, Jay-Z has pulled out as an investor. Jay’s decision comes weeks before AEG’s March 31 deadline to move forward with construction of the racino. Several weeks prior, news broke that AEG was under a federal investigation for allegedly picking Jay to influence Governor Paterson’s decision to begin building of the complex. AEG and representatives for Governor Paterson have since denied the claims.
