Earlier this week, a woman who wishes to remain anonymous accused Jay-Z and Diddy of sexually assaulting her at a party in 2000, when she was just 13 years old. She had previously sued Diddy over this incident and updated her lawsuit with the help of lawyer Tony Buzbee. After news of the lawsuit emerged, Jay-Z issued a statement denying the claims. He referred to the lawsuit as a possible attempt at blackmail and labeled Buzbee a fraud. In part of his statement, he said that the nature of the claims would not make him want to settle; instead, it motivated him to reveal the truth publicly. He firmly stated he would not pay a dime. The allegations sparked significant reactions on social media, with many fans and peers expressing their thoughts. Among them, 50 Cent was quick to respond, asking on Instagram, “I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl? I’m just asking for a friend!” His response is not surprising, as he has been mocking Diddy about his legal issues for some time and has also questioned Jay-Z’s recent actions. Recently, 50 Cent took his trolling further on Instagram by sharing an AI-generated video of Jay-Z and Diddy being arrested, jokingly saying he wanted to post it but feared for his safety.
This week, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, submitted a formal letter to the court asking for an urgent hearing to address the claims. He emphasized the sensitive nature of the situation and the media attention it has received, requesting a quick hearing. He stated clearly that Mr. Carter is completely innocent and described the situation as a shakedown.
