Tony Buzbee and his law firm have filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. He accuses them of allegedly illegally soliciting clients to take legal against him. In an announcement, Buzbee alleged that the company violated “various state laws,” including “barratry and impersonation of a public official.” The lawsuit comes as Buzbee is also representing a woman accusing Jay and Diddy of allegedly raping her in 2000. She was just 13 years old at the time. Both artists have already vehemently denied the allegation.
Buzbee writes in his statement: “The case was brought on behalf of a former client of the firm who was illegally solicited by agents working on behalf of the Defendants. These agents pretended to working for the State of Texas and offered the former client money to sue the Buzbee Law Firm. This illegal conduct has happened more than two dozen times to date and has resulted in two utterly frivolous cases against the firm. The lawsuit filed today alleges that the Defendants’ conspiracy is intended to obstruct justice and prevent the Buzbee Law Firm from pursuing cases related to the Diddy litigation in New York. The conduct isn’t just alleged—it was caught on tape.”

The lawsuit comes after Jay-Z and his attorney accused Buzbee of similarly coercing alleged victims into taking action against the rapper. Their claim accused Buzbee of pressuring a victim of unrelated abuse allegations into tying Jay and Diddy into her story.

Buzbee further concluded in Wednesday’s statement: “LET ME BE CLEAR: we will not be bullied or intimidated. The Defendants this time overstepped, got sloppy, and stupidly got caught at their illegal scheme on tape. We have reported this conduct to the authorities, and intend to cooperate with the authorities to ensure all involved are prosecuted to the full extent allowed under Texas law.” Check out Buzbee’s full announcement on social media below.
