According to TMZ, the incident unfolded around 10 PM, prompting law enforcement to respond to reports of a fight inside the restaurant. Witnesses claim that the trouble began when individuals at a neighboring table directed rude and vulgar comments toward Foxx.

“I was right there, front and center. To this day, let them tell it, he’s still alive underground like Bin Laden or in Cuba, but he really died,” Young Noble said. “I really was in the hospital. I really saw him with tubes in his body. I really saw his body full of fluid. He wasn’t skinny with the six-pack. His body was full. He really fucking died on us.”
He added, “He probably could have lived. His momma said, ‘Fuck all that.’ He lost his finger, he was gonna lose a lung, they were gonna do all these surgeries.”

Today at the Roc Nation office, JAY-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, spoke to a pool of reporters about sexual assault allegations levied against the rapper. In case you missed it, Hov has been working overtime to keep his name clear of any wrongdoings that have plagued Diddy, as he was named in a lawsuit alongside him.
Spiro, speaking to the press, detailed that the incident in question did not happen.
“I want to make sure this is clear: When people make up an account, whether intentionally or their mind is blank or something, they can always get that core part of the story right,” Spiro said, according to XXL. “They can just keep repeating it over and over and over again; this is what happened, that core part. But they’re always going to mess up the details. When something isn’t real, when something doesn’t happen, you’re going to get the details wrong because you weren’t really there. [This was] not possible. It’s because this never happened.”
In another moment, Spiro said “Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs case or Mr. Combs. They knew each other professionally for a number of years just like in all professions. They got to music awards, they support each other. They got to the NBA All-Star game, they support each other. That’s just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them. That’s also a matter of fiction.”
Last week, JAY-Z called for the anonymous accuser in his civil suit alleging sexual assault come forward.
After blasting the charges online, Hov’s attorney, Alex Spiro, is calling for an identity to be released in the suit filed by Tony Buzbee.
“The filing from [JAY-Z’]s attorney, Alex Spiro, specifically requests that the Jane Doe’s identity be disclosed in order to properly defend himself against this false claim through the legal process in a transparent manner,” a press statement reads.
In a letter to Judge Analisa Torres, Spiro writes: “For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Carter is entirely innocent. This is a shake down. He is not mentioned, referenced, or implicated in any way in the criminal investigation of Mr. Combs. He is neither a target nor a person of interest in that investigation.”
JAY-Z has been named as a defendant in a federal lawsuit which alleges that he, together with hip hop impresario Sean “Diddy” Combs, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000.
The lawsuit was originally filed by an anonymous “Jane Doe” plaintiff in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in October. It named Combs as the defendant, alongside many of his corporate entities, including Bad Boy Entertainment and Bad Boy Records. Yesterday, the lawsuit was amended to add Jay-Z, a co-defendant, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
The lawsuit alleges that 2000 the plaintiff went to the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City without a ticket, hoping to get in. There, a limousine driver who claimed he worked for Combs invited her to an afterparty. He drove her to the party, where she alleges that she was made to sign a document that she believed was a non-disclosure agreement. She further alleges that upon drinking a portion of a beverage that was given to her by one of the waitresses at the party, she began feeling dizzy and lightheaded and found a room with a bed so she could lie down.
The lawsuit alleges that Carter, Combs and an unidentified female celebrity, who Plaintiff recognized, subsequently entered the room, and Carter held her down and raped her while Combs and the woman watched. Then Combs raped her while Carter and the woman watched. The lawsuit further alleges that Combs then tried to force her to perform oral sex on him, but she hit him, grabbed her clothes and ran away, escaping to a gas station outside where she used the phone to call her father.
The lawsuit alleges violation of the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act (VGMVPA). The VGMVPA provides a private cause of action for any individual who has been injured by another in a crime of violence motivated by gender. The VGMVPA temporarily suspends the statute of limitations for alleged acts that violate this law, even if the alleged acts took place decades ago and were previously time-barred. The VGMVPA allows individuals to recover economic damages, damages for emotional distress, punitive damages and attorney’s fees and expenses.
The lawsuit is one of many filed against Combs by Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee on behalf of more than a hundred plaintiffs. Buzbee previously made a name for himself representing twenty-two women who brought claims against Houston Texans quarterback DeSean Watson in 2021 for claims of sexual harassment and sexual assault. All the claims were eventually settled out of court.
Carter responded to the lawsuit in a statement, writing that “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!!”
Buzbee was sued in November by an anonymous male celebrity who alleges that Buzbee tried to extort payments by threatening to file sexual assault claims against him, which the celebrity denies. Buzbee denies all allegations of extortion. The anonymous celebrity has been alleged by Buzbee and in the media to be Jay-Z himself.
In a post on X on December 8, Buzbee responded to Carter, writing that “What he fails to say in his recent statement is my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation. Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me, but he has tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite impact. She is emboldened. I’m very proud of her resolve.”
Buzbee also claimed in an Instagram post that there was a concerted campaign to intimidate him, including “filing frivolous cases against me and my law firm, defaming me with outrageous assertions to anyone who will listen, and having mysterious people follow me and my family.”

Rapper T.I. is firing back with a defamation lawsuit against his former friend Sabrina Peterson, escalating their years-long legal battle. This development comes shortly after a judge delayed Sabrina’s own defamation lawsuit against T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, due to her failure to pay nearly $100,000 in legal fees after most of her claims were dismissed.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, T.I. alleges that Sabrina has waged a relentless campaign of harassment and defamation against him and his family since they ended their friendship over three years ago. The rapper claims that the decision to distance themselves from Sabrina, citing her lack of a “positive” influence, sparked a vendetta that has led to a series of damaging and baseless accusations posted on social media.
One of Sabrina’s most serious allegations includes a claim that T.I. once held a gun to her head—a claim T.I. vehemently denies. The rapper asserts that these accusations are false, intended solely to harass and damage the reputation of himself and his loved ones. T.I. also notes that Sabrina’s alleged behavior is part of a pattern, claiming others have successfully sought legal protection against her actions in the past.
This countersuit marks a significant shift in the public feud between the former friends, as T.I. now seeks unspecified damages for the harm he claims to have suffered due to Sabrina’s online accusations.
While the original lawsuit brought by Sabrina remains unresolved, this latest move from T.I. underscores the complexity and intensity of their ongoing legal conflict. Fans and observers alike will be watching closely to see how the courts rule in this high-profile case.
