Jay-Z Denies Accusations of Raping 13-Year-Old Girl with Diddy
Introduction
Rapper Jay-Z has revealed that he will sit down with his wife Beyoncé to explain a bombshell civil lawsuit that accuses him of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Background
The couple, who met before the alleged incident, got married in 2008 and have three children: Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, seven. The accuser, who identifies herself as Jane Doe in the legal documents, claims the assault took place at a party after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
Lawsuit Refiling
The lawsuit was initially filed in New York’s Southern District in October against Combs, with a refiling on Sunday naming the rapper, 55, whose real name is Shawn Carter. The woman accusing the rapper claims that the assault took place at an afterparty following the event, which took place September 7, 2000, at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
Jay-Z’s Response
Jay-Z issued a lengthy statement denying the claims made in the re-filed lawsuit. He referenced Beyoncé in the emotionally charged response, saying he was dismayed his children would have to hear about the allegations. He said: "My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people."
Accusations and Defense
Jay-Z insists the accusations are a shakedown and went on to make a blistering attack on the lawyer representing Jane Doe, Tony Buzbee. He said: "My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!"
Conclusion
Jay-Z’s statement concluded with a personal attack on Buzbee, saying: "Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable. I look forward to showing you just how different I am."
