Swizz Beatz’ file sharing website Megaupload, the 13th largest website according to the Huffington Post, was shut down by the feds Thursday night. The website allowed users to upload and share large files across the web. Beatz was only recently identified as a chief executive of the website.

Recently Beatz’ friends, Kanye West and will.i.am, appeared in a promo for the website and many people were not happy. Universal Music Group, West and will.i.am’s label, issued a take-down notice for the unauthorized appearances made by the two.

Not only has the site been shut down, but several arrests have been made. Several members in the company have been arrested for racketeering and copyright infringement, citing over $500 million in alleged lost revenue from pirated material.

This may not look good for Swizz!
