The millionaire rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, admitting he stabbed Lance "Un" Rivera on December 1, 1999, at a party for rapper Q-Tip at Manhattan's Kit Kat Klub.
Jay-Z, 31, accused Rivera of making and selling counterfeit copies of one of his recordings. The rapper pulled a 5-inch knife and stabbed Rivera at least twice, according to a police account of the attack.
"I stabbed Lance Rivera," Jay-Z mumbled as he pleaded guilty to third-degree assault before Justice Micki Scherer in Manhattan's State Supreme Court.
