Jay-Z is doubling down, adding new allegations to the malicious prosecution and defamation lawsuit he filed against his Jane Doe rape accuser and her lawyers in Alabama.

In an amended complaint filed late Monday in Mobile, the Roc Nation founder alleges his accuser “has not stopped” making statements about him even though she agreed in February to voluntarily dismiss the sexual assault lawsuit that first identified him by name last year. In that revised version of her complaint, filed Dec. 8, Doe publicly accused Jay-Z of raping her alongside Sean Combs...

What happens when hip-hop royalty, legal drama, and shocking accusations collide? Well, you get a real-life courtroom thriller starring Jay-Z, attorney Tony Buzbee, and a lawsuit that’s been creating waves. Back when Buzbee was still involved in P Diddy’s case, representing Jane Doe, who accused the two singers of r*ping her, the attorney had filed a case against Shawn Carter.

But surprisingly, after Jane Doe withdrew her claims, even Tony Buzbee withdrew as an attorney in P Diddy’s ongoing lawsuit. However, Jay-Z didn’t let go—he countersued Buzbee for extortion and defamation. While the singer claimed that he was being targeted for refusing hush money demands, Buzbee claimed that this was just a rich man’s technique to silence whistleblowers.

Following P Diddy...

Lawyers for Jay-Z and Tony Buzbee traded scathing barbs in a California courtroom Tuesday as a judge said he likely won’t rule on a key dismissal motion in the legal war until he hears the recording of Jay-Z’s rape accuser allegedly claiming Buzbee “pushed” her to make a false claim for himself.

“I was actually thinking of asking to hear the audio,” Los Angeles County Judge Mark Epstein said during the tense afternoon hearing. “It might be that that sheds light on things,” he added. After Jay-Z’s...

With six weeks to go until Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal trial for sex trafficking and more begins, the incarcerated Bad Boy Records founder now has one fewer lawsuit to deal with among the dozens he is fighting.

A federal judge today dismissed a rape case from a Jane Doe against Combs because the plaintiff did not file as required under her own name after a motion to proceed anonymously was denied earlier this month. Judge Lewis J. Liman — yes, the same judge who is overseeing the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni case — gave Jane Doe until March 20 to make that filing or the matter of an alleged 1995 rape by Combs at a party for Biggie Smalls aka The Notorious B.I.G. would be closed.

On March 6, Judge Liman wrote “the very gravity of the charges, combined with the fact that Plaintiff has presented no evidence of specific and concrete...

After a judge said last month that he was close to dismissing Jay-Z’s extortion allegation against Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, the same judge signaled Wednesday he had changed his mind and was inclined to let the Roc Nation founder proceed with the legal claim.

At a hearing in Santa Monica, California, the Los Angeles County judge said he reconsidered his position based on stunning new evidence collected by private investigators and submitted by Jay-Z’s lawyers.

The new evidence revolves around a conversation the investigators had with the Jane...

The Jane Doe who recently dismissed a lawsuit claiming Jay-Z raped her alongside Sean Combs when she was 13 years old was captured on an audio recording agreeing with private investigators that Jay-Z did not assault her.

In the recording, first reported by ABC News and independently obtained by Rolling Stone, the woman also appears to claim that her lawyer, Tony Buzbee, “pushed” her to sue Jay-Z.

The new recording was made at the woman’s Alabama home by investigators associated with the Roc Nation mogul, born Shawn Carter. In court filings,...

Jay-Z, the billionaire rapper and entrepreneur, found himself catapulted into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex abuse saga Dec. 8 when he was named as a co-defendant in a refiled lawsuit garnering global headlines. In the amended complaint, the Grammy winner, born Shawn Carter, was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl alongside Combs at an awards show afterparty more than 20 years ago. He swiftly and vehemently denied the “heinous” allegations, saying they were part of a “blackmail attempt.” He later sued for defamation in two states, claiming he was the victim of a shakedown.

Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z’s scorched-earth defense of his reputation and his company following potentially career-ending accusations of raping a teenage girl with Sean “Diddy” Combs has brought another lawsuit, this time taking on his accuser directly.

The global rap superstar, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, filed a 25-page suit on Monday in a Mobile, Alabama court against the unnamed woman, saying she filed a “false” and “malicious” case that was “strategically and tactically calculated and timed to inflict maximum pain and suffering on [him].”

In the now-withdrawn lawsuit that rattled the pop culture world in December, the woman claimed that when she was 13, Combs and Carter sexually assaulted her at a party after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The suit claims that the woman, who is not named in court documents as she is allegedly a sexual assault victim, knew she was fabricating the story; at one point, the new suit claims,...

Jay-Z is lying and “reeks of desperation,” says the lawyer representing the Jane Doe who accused the Grammy-winning rapper and the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs of repeatedly raping her in 2000. In an already pugilistic case that was dismissed by the plaintiff on Valentine’s Day after it was played out in court and in the press for months, Tony Buzbee today claims things have turned even more “nasty” in recent weeks.

“Pay attention here: They wanted a headline so in that new case they Falsely claimed she recanted. She didn’t. She hasn’t. She won’t,” Buzbee said today in a post on social media.

Representatives for Jay-Z did not respond to request for comment on Buzbee’s latest comments and the accusations they contain. Two days after Jay-Z and Beyoncé hosted their annual post-Oscars Gold Party at Los Angeles’ iconic Chateau Marmont, the superstar’s Roc Nation was...

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In December of last year, an unidentified woman filed a lawsuit in which she claimed that she had been raped by rappers Jay Z and Diddy in 2000.

The accuser stated in her filing that she was just 13 years old at the time of the alleged attack.

That lawsuit was later dropped, and it looked as though the matter had come to a close.

Earlier this week, however, Jay re-opened it when he filed a countersuit against his accuser.

Jay’s lawsuit alleges that the accuser herself has admitted that the allegations are false.

“Mr. Carter does not commence this action lightly,” his lawyers wrote in a complaint filed...

As the Chateau Marmont staff this morning were cleaning up after Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s annual post-Oscars Gold party, the “Empire State of Mind” superstar was doubling down against the Jane Doe and the lawyer who accused him and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her as a minor in a now-dismissed case.

“Defendants devised and executed their plan to accuse Mr. Carter of sexual assault and used national news and media outlets to disseminate the fabricated accusations to millions despite the falsity of the accusation,” proclaims the defamation and malicious prosecution complaint filed Monday in federal court in Alabama against the now middle-aged Jane Doe, as well as attorneys Tony Buzbee and David Fortney.

Using terms like “evil conspiracy,” the filing say the trio “were soullessly motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency” in claiming Jay-Z a.k.a. Shawn Carter...

Jay-Z has filed a new defamation and malicious prosecution lawsuit against the Alabama-based Jane Doe who publicly accused him of a sexual assault involving Sean Combs but then later admitted inconsistencies in her story and voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit last month.

In his new lawsuit filed Monday and obtained by Rolling Stone, Jay-Z says the woman and her lawyers — including Tony Buzbee — engaged in an “evil conspiracy” to extort him with the “completely fabricated” and “wildly horrific” claim that he raped Doe alongside Combs in 2000. The woman first stepped forward...

The case that alleged Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs repeatedly raped a 13-year-old after the 2000 MTV VMAs was dismissed on Valentines’ Day by its Jane Doe plaintiff. However, in legal moves on both coasts, the two rappers are apparently far from done with her lawyer, Tony Buzbee.

Representing dozens and dozens of alleged victims of sexual assault and alleging attacks and abuse by the Bad Boy Records founder, the brash Houston-based attorney now finds himself pummeled by Combs and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z’s real name) in federal court in New York over unauthorized practice of law, and in state court in California.

A tentative ruling out of an early morning anti-slapp hearing Tuesday before LA Superior Court Judge Mark H. Epstein appeared to render Jay-Z’s extortion claim against Buzbee Doa. Yet, it seems the defamation claim from the “99 Problems” superstar’s initial suit will almost certainly go forward to trial.

Can I get a… trial?

A Los Angeles judge signaled Tuesday that Jay-Z’s defamation claim against high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee will overcome a legal challenge and be allowed to proceed to trial. In a tentative ruling and courtroom comments during a lengthy hearing, Judge Mark H. Epstein said he believed the question of whether Buzbee acted recklessly and with actual malice when he named Jay-Z as a defendant in a rape lawsuit last December had enough merit to move ahead.

The same judge also said he was leaning toward...

A lawsuit accusing Jay-Z of rape has been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff, who initially filed it in October before amending the complaint in December to name both Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Sean Combs.

The plaintiff had alleged that the two men raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000. Representatives for Carter and Combs had denied the accusations.

Following the lawsuit’s dismissal, Carter addressed the decision in a statement. “Today is a victory,” he said. “The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed. This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere. The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, my loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.”

Carter also criticized the plaintiff’s attorney,...

The lawsuit accusing Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of repeatedly raping a minor in 2000 after the MTV VMAs was dismissed on Valentine’s Day, but the bitter relationship between the Jay-Z and attorney Tony Buzbee rages on.

Filed four days before the Buzbee-represented Jane Doe “voluntarily dismissed with prejudice” her claims, Jay-Z (aka Shawn Carter) made a declaration in the docket of Los Angeles Superior Court ripping the Texas-based attorney. Rejecting Buzbee’s attempt to have the Roc Nation boss’ defamation and extortion suit essentially gutted, Jay-Z’s February 10 filing says the “career-ending” accusations of assaulting a 13-year-old girl unsurprisingly damaged his business and his family — the former to the tune of $20 million a year.

While not mentioning the NFL, with which Roc Nation has a recently renewed Super Bowl Halftime Show deal, Jay-Z’s declaration makes clear that even if the Roger Goodell-run league was standing by him,...

It’s funny how life can throw curveballs, making us question the stories we hear. One day, we’re facing accusations, and the next, the truth shines through. You might’ve heard the phrase “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” – but what if it doesn’t kill you and you’re still left with scars? The allegations that once hung over Jay-Z like a dark cloud have now been dismissed, shedding light on the often murky world of legal battles and the fight for justice.

Jay-Z and Sean Combs are no longer facing a lawsuit accusing them of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000, according to a court document filed on Friday in New York federal court.

A lawyer for the anonymous accuser moved to dismiss the lawsuit “with prejudice,” meaning it can’t be refiled. Further details weren’t disclosed.

In a statement posted to X, Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter, called the allegations “frivolous, fictitious and appalling.” He added, “This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere. The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims.”

Combs, in a statement, called the dismissal “yet another confirmation that these lawsuits are built on falsehoods, not facts.” He said accusers have been “hiding behind anonymity,” represented by an “attorney more focused on media headlines than legal merit” and that he expects other lawsuits to be dismissed.

Tony Buzbee,...

The lawsuit against Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs has been dropped.

If you were unaware, an unidentified Jane Doe filed a sexual assault suit against the two rappers in December 2024, claiming that they had raped her when she was 13-years-old back in 2000.

Jay-Z, 55, then released a lengthy statement in which he denied the allegations and slammed the lawyer who filed them.

On Friday (February 14), the lawyers representing the woman filed to dismiss the suit, Variety reports.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has now released a statement reacting to the news.

A woman who alleged that she was sexually assaulted as a 13-year-old by Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs during a VMAs afterparty in 2000, has voluntarily withdrawn her lawsuit, according to court records obtained by Rolling Stone.

The Jane Doe accuser filed papers on Friday evening, informing the court that she was withdrawing her complaint with prejudice — meaning that she can’t file it again. Attorneys for Combs told Rolling Stone there was no settlement between the parties. Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing Doe, declined to comment.

The Roc Nation founder,...

Sean “Diddy” Combs is still facing a criminal trial in May over sex trafficking and more, as well as dozens of sexual assault cases, but the Bad Boys Records founder and Jay-Z are now no longer are being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl back in 2000.

“Plaintiff Jane Doe, by and through her undersigned counsel, hereby gives notice that the above-captioned Action is voluntarily dismissed with prejudice,” said a two-page filing Friday dropping the sensational case that has been in the courts since October. “Counsel for Plaintiff have discussed this matter with counsel for each Defendant, who acknowledge and consent to this submission,” added lawyers Tony Buzbee, who is representing almost 100 clients against the much accused Combs, and Antigone Curis.

In a long statement posted on his Roc Nation social media feed, Jay-Z a.k.a. Shawn Carter slammed the long festering matter, while celebrating its end simultaneously . “This civil...

Sean “Diddy” Combs is still facing life behind bars if found guilty in his sex trafficking trial later this year, but on Monday the Bad Boy Records founder and Jay-Z saw one less defendant in the accusations that the duo and an unnamed female celebrity raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

Looking over a February 7 filing by the now middle-aged Jane Doe’s lawyers and Tony Buzbee’s firm asking to voluntary dismiss Bad Boy Records as a defendant in the matter, Judge Analisa Torres could have pulled the plug on the whole case today. Instead the Barack Obama-appointed NYC-based U.S. District Judge signed the filing from last week, with an item in the docket that said: “Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the plaintiff(s) and or their counsel(s), hereby give notice that the above-captioned action is voluntarily dismissed with...

In the lull between the Beyoncé-dominated Grammy Awards of February 2 and Kendrick Lamar’s Roc Nation-produced Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 9, Jay-Z is making shifts in strategy in the hopes of getting dismissed claims that the “Big Pimpin” rapper, the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs and a currently unidentified female “Celebrity B” repeatedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

As anticipated by the December 30 letter that Alex Spiro, the longtime lawyer for Shawn Carter (Jay-Z’s real name), sent to Judge Analisa Torres, this week saw a formal motion to dismiss the first amended complaint by the Tony Buzbee-represented Jane Doe in the case. If that effort to see the matter kicked to the curb wasn’t much of a surprise, what came today certainly was.

“We write on behalf of Defendant Shawn Carter to respectfully request that Mr. Carter’s Motion for Sanctions pursuant to Federal...

Despite being the power couple of Hollywood, even Jay-Z and Beyoncé have faced certain ups and downs in their marriage and even became a subject of scandal after the rapper’s infidelity. Well, that’s what changed their relationship and lives forever, with the pop star handing out a set of rules to Shawn Carter.

According to sources, after Jay-Z openly admitted to cheating on Beyoncé, the singer surprisingly managed to forgive him and work on their marriage. But that took a lot of effort on the rapper’s end, for he was apparently handed out a set of rules to follow.

Beyoncé’s alleged rules for Jay-Z after his infidelity

Jay-Z has filed a new motion to dismiss the lawsuit of a woman who alleged that Sean “Diddy” Combs and the Roc Nation mogul sexually assaulted her as a 13-year-old during a VMAs afterparty in 2000.

The rapper, real name Shawn Carter, filed his latest bid to have a judge toss the case on Wednesday, highlighting what they claim are impossibilities and inconsistencies in the woman’s account. Carter’s attorneys relied heavily on an interview the Jane Doe accuser gave to NBC News last December, where she admitted to “making...

Amid the ongoing chaos surrounding Jay-Z, following the arrest of P Diddy, political commentator Candace Owens’ take on Shawn Carter resurfaced. Claiming to be grateful for his musical contribution and his influence on people, Owens then reflected on the moment she lost respect for Carter, and gained faith over Kanye West.

Highlighting incidents from Jay-Z’s career, where he chose his fame and popularity over being a positive influence for Black Americans, Candace Owens called out the famous rapper. She then threw the spotlight on Kanye West as a comparison and mentioned how he never took a step back from saying what’s right, even if he lost followers.

Jay-Z has no intention of walking away from 2024 without continuing to put up a fight against rape allegations.

Three days after a New York-based federal judge refused the “Empire State of Mind” rapper’s efforts to have claims that he, the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs and a still unnamed female Celebrity B repeatedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old over 24 years ago dismissed and the Jane Doe plaintiff unmasked, Jay-Z and his longtime lawyer Alex Spiro are back today for another kick at the judicial can.

As Combs’ May 5 criminal sex trafficking trial looms, Jay-Z and the Quinn Emanuel partner are betting the calendar and geography will help them get the horrific matter tossed out.

“Plaintiff cannot recover for her sole claim under the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act (the Gmv Law), as a matter of law, because the statute does not have retroactive effect,” wrote Spiro in a two-page letter...

Jay-Z is opening yet another new front in his all-out attack on the Jane Doe accuser who alleges he sexually assaulted her with Sean Combs when she was a minor in September 2000.

Sometimes, the truth isn’t wrapped in glitter or spotlighted on the grand stage; it comes out in pieces, slow and deliberate. In a high-profile case against Jay-Z and Sean Combs, the legal skirmishes have proven just as intense as the allegations themselves. As the woman accusing the rap moguls of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 steps forward with her lawsuit, a New York judge has made a bold decision: she can remain anonymous—for now.

Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling, delivered Thursday, ensured that the accuser’s identity remains shielded as the case moves forward, sparking debate over the balance between legal transparency and victim protection. But the legal drama didn’t stop there. The judge also had strong words for Jay-Z’s legal team, calling out their “relentless filing of combative motions” and accusing them of using...

Jay-Z is much more than a rapper or a businessman. He’s a business, man! While fans have mostly flocked to him for the music, Shawn Carter has shown that he has a keen business sense throughout his career.

Despite many years as a beloved rapper and respected mogul, Jay has found himself in some hot water recently. On December 8, one of Diddy’s accusers named the rapper in a civil lawsuit, claiming that Jay raped her when she was 13 years old.

Jay released a statement, denying the allegations and promising to fight them. He claimed that the lawsuit was a “blackmail attempt” against him.

Jay-Z suffered a loss in court after being sued for sexual assault.

The 55-year-old rapper (whose real name is Shawn Carter) was named in a sexual assault lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs earlier this month. The pair was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

He slammed the allegations in a statement at the time and attempted to have the court reveal the identity of his accuser.

However, the latest update reveals that Jay did not get his way. It also revealed that his legal team was called out by the judge managing the case.

According to reporting by Variety, New York Judge Analisa Torres allowed the Jane Doe accuser to maintain her anonymity “at least for now.” Any attempts to have the lawsuit thrown out were also denied.

A judge has denied Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl more than two decades ago.

In the lawsuit, originally filed in October, a woman identified only as “Jane Doe” sued Combs for allegedly raping her at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The complaint was amended Dec. 8 to include the allegation that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was also present and participated in the assault.

Jay-Z has denied all allegations, and his attorney Alex Spiro sought to dismiss the case after the Alabama woman acknowledged inconsistencies in her allegations in an NBC News report published earlier this month. Spiro doubled down last week, speaking outside Roc Nation’s New York headquarters, saying the rap mogul is upset about the suit and that “Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs’ case.”

On Thursday,...

Less than 24 hours after Beyoncé’s triumphant Christmas Day NFL halftime extravaganza blew Netflix viewers’ wigs off, a legal storm has hit the Carter household as Jay-Z lost his Hail Mary attempt to terminate the case against him and the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs that alleges the duo violently assaulted a minor more than 20 years ago.

In a withering order published Thursday, a federal judge denied an effort by the Grammy-winning rapper, real name Shawn Carter, and his sharp-elbowed lead lawyer Alex Spiro to see the allegations against Jay-Z and Combs dismissed.

Judge Analisa Torres also rejected the “99 Problems” performer’s hopes to to see Jane Doe’s real identity made public, and to move the whole thing along at a quicker pace. Stressing the “weight of the factors” including the “highly sensitive and extremely personal” nature of Jane Doe’s claims, Torres has decided the context of the matter...

Jay-Z was hit with a warning in his fight against a Jane Doe’s sexual assault lawsuit, as a judge ruled the woman can proceed anonymously and blasted the rapper’s lawyer for “relentless filing of combative motions.”

The Roc Nation founder, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has vehemently denied the claims from the Jane Doe accuser, who alleges she was 13 years old when Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped her during a VMAs afterparty in 2000. The woman filed her lawsuit in October, adding Carter’s name to the complaint on Dec.

Jay-Z ramped up his scorched-earth defense against the accusation that he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl with Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2000, suing the woman’s lawyer Tony Buzbee for defamation.

The Roc Nation mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, vehemently denied the Jane Doe’s “heinous” accusation and his high-powered attorney Alex Spiro laid out a defense that highlighted inconsistencies in the woman’s complaint. “This is utter falsehoods,” Spiro said. (Combs’ lawyers also denied the woman’s claims, saying he has “never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman,...

A long-standing paternity claim against rapper Jay-Z has resurfaced, raising questions and casting a shadow over his public image. Rymir Satterthwaite, a 31-year-old man, alleges to be Jay-Z’s son, born from a relationship with Wanda Satterthwaite in 1992.

The core of the claim lies in Wanda’s assertion that she was only 16 years old at the time of the alleged encounter, which would have been illegal. This detail is believed to be a deterrent for Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, to take a paternity test.

Billionaire Jay-Z is a bully who has “shrilly maintained an entitlement to different rules and faster procedures” against a Jane Doe who claims the ‘Picasso, Baby’ rapper, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and an unnamed female celebrity raped her in 2000 when she was 13-years-old, says the accuser’s lawyer in the latest war of words between the parties in the federal docket.

In what is starting to sound a lot like the MCU of lawsuits where each side is perpetually teasing or declaring what is coming next, Tony Buzbee’s letter Friday to Judge Analisa Torrie caps the latest phase of an action where Combs has become almost a sideshow to the main action of the Houston-based plaintiff’s lawyer, the rapper born Shawn Carter and Jay-Z’s long time legal sideman Alex Spiro throwing down on each other daily with pledges to be very street and very much a Marine.

The Diddy and Jay-Z mess keeps getting messier. The two rappers have been accused of being involved in the s*xual assault of a 13-year-old girl back in 2000 at the MTV Video Music Awards after-party. The anonymous accuser, Jane Doe, claimed that she attended the after-party and was offered a drink that made her feel “woozy.” As a result, she went to lie down in one of the rooms on the property when Jay-Z and Diddy walked in.

She accuses Jay-Z of removing her clothes, holding her down, and r*ping her while Diddy and an “unnamed female celebrity” or “Celebrity B” watched.

Jay-Z’s war with Houston attorney Tony Buzbee escalated Wednesday when Buzbee brought a lawsuit alleging Roc Nation and lawyers associated with the rapper’s company used “shadowy operatives” and promised paydays to illegally entice former Buzbee clients into filing “frivolous” claims against him.

It’s the latest development in the unfolding battle between the pair that started when Buzbee filed an October lawsuit on behalf of a Jane Doe plaintiff who alleges Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z sexually assaulted her during a VMAs afterparty when she was 13 years old...

Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has sought to protect the rapper from the serious accusations against Sean Diddy Combs, stating that Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, has no knowledge of the charges and emphasizing that their relationship was purely professional, with no deeper connection.

Jay-Z Apparently has No Connections to the Sex-trafficking Charges

Jay-Z’s attorney, speaking at the Roc Nation’s New York headquarters on Monday, emphasized that his client had no connection to the sex trafficking and racketeering charges for which Combs is er to stand trial.

“Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs’ case or Mr. Combs,” the lawyer stated. “They knew each other professionally for a number of years, just like in all professions, people know each other.”

Amid the ongoing controversies surrounding Diddy, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé, let’s take a look at the time when Tom Cruise had almost come in close proximity to the Partition singer. Apparently, back when Warner Bros. was looking for stars to appear in the new version of A Star Is Born, they were courting Cruise to play the male lead, alongside the 43-year-old.

However, due to Tom Cruise’s busy schedule and Beyoncé’s pregnancy, A Star Is Born got delayed, leading to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper replacing the duo. But now, reminiscing this incident seems to send shivers down the spine, given how Cruise was inches close to getting dragged into the worst controversy of his life, had he starred in the film alongside the Cuff It singer.

What in the world of stratagem is going on between Diddy and Jay-Z? Despite previously being friends and appearing close with each other in several photos, Jay-Z has surprisingly maintained his silence over Diddy’s arrest. Not just that, even Shawn Carter’s lawyers claimed that the rapper’s relationship with Sean Combs was strictly professional.

Although Jay-Z and Diddy previously attended parties and were said to be allegedly involved in several heinous crimes, the duo currently appears to be more distant than ever. While a throwback video showed Sean Combs referring to Shawn Carter as his friend, the latter’s lawyers recently denied personal associations between the duo, amid his r*pe lawsuit.

Well, not all that shines is as pristine as it appears. And when it comes to the bond between Jay-Z and Diddy, the spotlight reveals layers of complexity that make even the sharpest tongues pause. Amid the latest civil lawsuit alleging past assault involving a minor, one question lingers: Can Jay-Z truly distance himself from Diddy, or do the infamous ‘white parties’ tell a story the former’s lawyer refuses to acknowledge?

Jay-Z has found himself under the microscope once again, this time alongside Sean Combs in a civil lawsuit that accuses both men of r*ping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party back in 2000. The details of the case are chilling, and the weight of the allegations has shaken the hip-hop world. However, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, isn’t fazed by the noise.

Will Smith is shutting down any rumors that he partook in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ “freak-offs,” gatherings hosted by the rap mogul that allegedly involved sexual assault and sex workers.

The actor, who has recently gotten back into music, performed a concert in San Diego on Friday and took a moment to distance himself from Combs between songs.

“The world we’re in right now, it’s really hard for y’all to like discern what’s real and what’s true, you know? And I’ve been seeing y’all memes and stuff,” the King Richard star said in a video posted on TikTok and obtained by TMZ. “Some of that stuff is funny. Some of it’s funny, but I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I just want to say this very clearly: I don’t have shit to do with Puffy. So y’all can stop all those memes.

Jay-Z’s attorney is looking to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the rapper of raping a 13-year-old girl after the Jane Doe acknowledged inconsistencies in her allegations in a new NBC News report.

In the lawsuit, originally filed in October, a woman identified only as “Jane Doe” sued Sean “Diddy” Combs for allegedly raping her at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The complaint was amended on Sunday to include the allegation that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was also present and participated in the assault.

In a new interview with NBC News, the Alabama woman, who is now 38, recounted what she called a “catastrophic event” 24 years ago, alleging that she was given a spiked drink and subsequently assaulted. However, she and her lawyers also recognized some inconsistencies in her recollection of that night in response to the outlet’s questions. “I have made some mistakes,” she said.

The woman who accused billionaire rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z and disgraced media mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her when she was 13 years old has acknowledged that there are inconsistencies in her allegations.

In a new interview with NBC News, the woman, who is suing as a Jane Doe, said that “not all of the faces there are as clear” in her recollections of the incident alleged to have occurred 24 years ago. “So I have made some mistakes. I may have made a mistake in identifying,,” she told the outlet,...

Shawn Carter, known as Jay-Z, is reacting to a new report from his rape accuser where she acknowledges she has “made some mistakes” recalling the allegations.

Beyoncé’s husband shared a statement claiming “True Justice is coming” and doubled down, saying “the incident didn’t happen.”

“Today’s investigative report proves this ‘attorney’ Buzbee filed a false complaint against me in the pursuit of money and fame,” Carter said in a statement shared by his company Roc Nation. “This incident didn’t happen and yet he filed it in court and doubled down in the press.”

He continued, “True Justice is coming. We fight From victory, not For victory. This was over before it began. This 1-800 lawyer doesn’t realize it yet, but, soon.”

In a new interview with NBC News, an Alabama woman acknowledged the inconsistencies in her allegations where she claims Jay-Z and Diddy raped her when she was 13 years old.

The victory Sean “Diddy” Combs scored today over federal prosecutors in gaining access to a laptop while behind bars in Brooklyn surely has to seem a Pyrrhic win after a trio of new rape and sexual assault lawsuits were filed this morning against the one-time music mogul.

In tales chillingly similar in scope and action, three John Does have separately sued Combs in New York State court alleging he plied them with booze and drugged them in hotel rooms or his Hamptons residence so he could attack them. In at least one case, the assault was supposedly filmed. Detailing the rapes taking place between 2019 and 2022, the civil actions, with the trio all individually represented by attorney Thomas Giuffra, are seeking a wide range of damages and jury trials.

Perhaps most revealing is how the specifics in these three cases are similar to literally dozens of others accusations and suits against Combs,...

Photos of singer and actress Jennifer Lopez recently surfaced that showed the star with Sean “Diddy” Combs at an event. At the time, J.Lo and Diddy were believed to be in a relationship. Notably, the photos are also believed to have been taken around the time a recent lawsuit claimed the mogul had raped an underage victim.

The Original Suit, Which Had Been Filed In October, Was Recently Refiled

A civil lawsuit made back in October recently claimed that Sean “Diddy” Combs had raped an underage victim, identified as “Jane Doe.” At the time, another male celebrity was alleged to have raped the victim alongside Diddy.

However, the suit was recently refiled, claiming that rapper Jay-Z was the other male star. In addition, the suit also alleged that a female celebrity, identified as “Celebrity B,” had witnessed the event.

With Jay-Z in the middle of a huge lawsuit alleging sexual assault, he and Beyonce are facing a questionable future. The charges tie him into an incident that allegedly happened with Sean “Diddy” Combs. The same attorney suing DIddy on behalf of several women also targeted Jay-Z.

Here is what we know about the lawsuits and how it could cripple his fortune with Beyonce.

Jay-Z Involved In Major Lawsuit Alleging Sexual Assault

After Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking based on his Freak-Out parties, attorney Tony Buzbee began collecting clients to sue Diddy for his fortune. One of the clients also implicated Jay-Z in her alleged incident. This accuser said she was 13 when Jay-Z and Diddy sexually assaulted her.

However, before filing the lawsuit, attorney Tony Buzbee alerted Jay-Z first. When this happened, the rap mogul immediately filed a lawsuit against Buzbee and his client,...
