Dame Dash Puts Jay-Z On Blast For “F**king Up” Beanie Sigel’s Life

December 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dame Dash has been airing out all of his grievances with Jay-Z. The two men used to run Roc-A-Fella with an iron fist, but have had a severe falling out over the last two decades. Dame Dash has no problem using his ties with Hov and the rest of the Roc artists to stay in the pop culture conversation. Especially since Jay-Z’s reputation has come under fire in recent weeks. Dash recently called out the rapper for the way he treated former Roc-A-Fella signee Beanie Sigel.

Dame Dash claimed he did a lot to help Beanie Sigel’s career, and was bothered by the fact that Sigel chose to side with Jay-Z when Roc-A-Fella was falling apart. “That one hurt,” he admitted. “I did a lot. I chose State Property over Roc Wear.” Dash then claimed that Jay-Z “tricked” Beanie Sigel, and derailed what he felt was going to be a very promising career as a rapper. “It’s almost like [Jay] tricked Beans to shelf him,” Dash asserted. “He f*cked his life up, to me, doing that.” Dash went as far as to claim that Beanie Sigel was going to be his “new Jay,” but the old Jay made sure that it never came to fruition.

Dame Dash Warns Jay-Z That White Media Has Turned On Him Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

December 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dame Dash previously expressed his shock at not just the sexual assault allegations against Jay-Z, but at the fact that he responded to them at all. During a new interview with The Art Of Dialogue, he expanded on these feelings by positing that white media is now launching a lot of backlash Hov’s way for basically the first time ever. Dame compared this situation to allegations against himself, for which he didn’t receive the same level of criticism as Jay. Of course, the fame levels are different. He hopes that nothing abhorrent actually happened, but he suggested that this is first time that white media and big industry powers did not give the Roc Nation mogul “a pass.”

“Like, he can control Black media ’cause a lot of them either work or do business with him,” Dame Dash remarked about Jay-Z. “But, like, you know, Drink Champs can’t get him out of this one, and neither can Charlamagne. ‘Cause those are the guys that hold him down no matter what he does anyway. So he got to get to People magazine and Entertainment Tonight right now, ’cause they on his head. But the question is why. Like, why now?”

Furthermore, Dame Dash said that Jay-Z could just treat the case as ridiculous, so he doesn’t understand why white media is supposedly bringing the hammer down so heavily. As for the Brooklyn rap icon’s statement on the matter, he thinks that he needs to be open, say his side of the story, and answer questions consistently rather than allow his attorney Alex Spiro to handle things. For example, Dame thought that Spiro’s assessment of Jay’s public relationship with Diddy would bring a lot of backlash, and it did.

Meanwhile, as Dame Dash and many others offer their takes on these scandals, Jay-Z and his accuser’s lawyer Tony Buzbee continue to engage in a war of words and legal accusations. The most recent development in this area is Buzbee’s response to Jay’s request to impose sanctions on the attorney for allegedly filing a false claim. But we still don’t have any tangible or important legal developments to talk about when it comes to this case’s future.

Tony Buzbee Eviscerates Jay-Z’s Proposed Sanctions Against Him For Alleged Lies

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tony Buzbee faces more hot water than he probably anticipated, although going at Diddy and Jay-Z for alleged sexual assault would never be a small feat. Moreover, not only did he get a lot of pushback from these moguls and their legal teams, but he also faces other accusations of extortion, spreading an STI to someone, pressuring clients for false claims, and a whole lot more. In addition, the story of Buzbee’s client – the anonymous female accuser of Sean Combs and Shawn Carter – has some alleged inconsistencies in it that prompted Hov and his attorney Alex Spiro to request the imposition of sanctions on the lawyer.

Now, according to TMZ, Tony Buzbee has responded to Jay-Z and company’s allegations, labeling them a “frivolous” intimidation tactic. Also, he posited that his client’s inconsistencies in her story against Jay and Diddy – which alleges a 2000 sexual assault when she was 13 years old – are due to the memory being almost 25 years old and from the perspective of a minor. As such, Buzbee believes that the Brooklyn rapper is trying to use small factual corrections to dismiss the entire case as baloney, something that the prosecutor staunchly denies.

Rather, Tony Buzbee does not condone this “bullying” and stands by the idea that these gaps and discrepancies do not invalidate his client’s alleged experience. Of course, he also pointed to Jay-Z and Diddy’s power as massive celebrities, pop culture icons, and business moguls to allegedly silence, threaten, harass, and intimidate those who attempt to expose them for their alleged abhorrent actions. As for the Reasonable Doubt MC, he and his legal team continue to firmly deny any accusations against them, taint Buzbee’s public image, and call into question his ethics and believability.

Meanwhile, the back-and-forth legal battle between these sides still has not resulted in any successful or failed motions for Tony Buzbee or Jay-Z, at least when it comes to this specific lawsuit. Of course, some of the many other lawsuits the attorney brought forth against Diddy did receive small updates here and there, but the big picture is far too broad now. In other words, both sides will need a lot to “prevail.”

Tony Yayo Speaks On Theory That Diddy Snitched On Jay-Z To Distract From His Trafficking Case

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Everyone’s indulging in conspiracy theories around the Diddy and Jay-Z lawsuit, whether from a more sympathetic or critical perspective. However, there are also some alleged rumors and rumblings online that the relationship between both moguls is not one of respect or arms-length camaraderie, but rather a more sinister one. Moreover, during his most recent VladTV interview with DJ Vlad, Tony Yayo claimed that “the streets” are saying that Sean Combs snitched on Shawn Carter in order to “take the heat off himself.” The G-Unit rapper’s assessment of the situation compared their superstar business acumen, their historic link-ups at Roc Nation brunches and other events, and their career-long relationship.

As such, Tony Yayo thinks that there are definitely many links between Diddy and Jay-Z that could suggest more direct communication these days. However, it’s still just a speculative allegation, especially considering that the Bad Boy executive’s team has also denied any criminal connection to his Roc Nation counterpart. But this is actually not the first time that Tony made these claims, as he and Uncle Murda made similar comments to TMZ at an airport.

Tony Yayo Doubles Down On Diddy & Jay-Z Theory

“I think Diddy paid somebody to say that s**t about Jay-Z,” Uncle Murda claimed. “To get the heat off of hisself. Diddy looking bad out here. […] Gotta watch Diddy. He going through a lot right now.” “It sound like a money grab with that one,” Tony Yayo suggested earlier in December. “Somebody send you a letter, and then you got to send your lawyers? Sound like extortion. […] F**k that. You gotta fight that.” “That’s Puff trying to set him up,” Murda concluded. A lot of other people are engaging with similar assumptions these days, but no one is closer to finding the truth.

Meanwhile, Jay-Z and Tony Buzbee are in a war of words right now, as Hov continues to rally against his and Diddy’s accuser’s attorney. Buzbee is also alleging that Jay is lying about his presumed innocence and about his other legal claims about the lawyer. For now, all that spectators can do is compile the information they’ve seen and come to their own conclusions while they wait on a court of law.

Jay-Z Faces New Paternity Test Lawsuit Amid Mounting Legal Challenges

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z is embroiled in yet another legal battle, this time stemming from a paternity lawsuit filed by Rymir Satterthwaite, who claims to be the rapper’s 31-year-old “illegitimate son.” According to MailOnline, Satterthwaite, along with his late mother Wanda and his guardian Dr. Lillie Coley, has brought the case forward, alleging fraudulent actions by Jay-Z during prior paternity tests. The plaintiffs argue that their legal “rights were violated through fraudulent court actions,” citing instances of “sealed records, wrongful sanctions, and obstruction of their legal proceedings.”

This paternity dispute is only one of several legal issues currently surrounding the hip-hop mogul. In a separate case, a woman recently amended a prior lawsuit against Diddy to include allegations that Jay-Z also assaulted her at a party in 2000 when she was just 13 years old. Both Jay-Z and Diddy have denied these accusations.

Adding to the legal troubles, attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the woman in the assault case, has filed a new lawsuit against Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. Buzbee accuses the company of violating various state laws, including “barratry and impersonation of a public official.” In a statement released Wednesday, Buzbee declared, “LET ME BE CLEAR: we will not be bullied or intimidated.”

Jay-Z has not publicly commented on the latest allegations or lawsuits.

DJ Akademiks Apologizes For Publicly Criticizing Jay-Z And Roc Nation

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks is not a Jay-Z fan, historically. He’s a Drake fan, and recently, being in one means declaring war on the other. The media personality has been vocal in his opposition to Jay-Z, citing the goodwill he gets from the hip hop community in comparison to Drake. He’s also suggested that the Roc Nation co-founder conspired to give the Super Bowl Halftime Show over to Drake’s op, Kendrick Lamar. DJ Akademiks decided to change his tune on Thursday, though. The streamer went as far as to issue an apology.

DJ Akademiks went over the recent rape allegations made against Jay-Z. He also detailed the allegations that have been made against the lawyer of Jay’s accuser, Tony Buzbee. The lawyer has been accused of infecting a woman with a venereal disease. Ak could hardly believe it. The streamer claimed that Jay and Roc Nation are simply too powerful to critique. “This is why, I’m telling you,” he stated. “I want no smoke with Roc Nation and I issue a formal apology.” DJ Akademiks went on to address Hov, directly, explaining that he wants this statement to go viral. “Jay-Z,” Ak noted. “I want to be on your team. I wanna be in the camp of the Roc Nation.”

DJ Akademiks Claimed Roc Nation Was “Too Powerful”

Akademiks shocked viewers during a livestream when he apologized to Jay-Z, the staff, the record label, and the mf crew.

DJ Akademiks’ apology did smack of cynicism, though. He praised Jay and Roc Nation for having too much power over the music industry. “This type of power, and this type of sliminess,” Akademiks said. “Hey, get me to a billionaire status, too.” The streamer then turned his attention toward Tory Lanez, an artist who has been openly criticizing Roc Nation for years. DJ Akademiks claimed that he will not have anything more to say on the Lanez case, despite being a supporter. “Tory’s my mans,” he admitted. “I ain’t gonna turn against Tory, but I got no more opinion on that.”

DJ Akademiks told Tory Lanez that he was on his “own” when it came to publicly insulting Jay-Z and Roc Nation. “Roc Nation is too goddamn powerful,” he conceded. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” DJ Akademiks had a remarkable turnaround, given that he was calling Jay-Z an “assassin” days before. The streamer was in awe of Jay’s alleged ability to put money above personal relationships and the well-being of others. He even expressed admiration for the rapper. “Jay-Z’s a cold n**ga… a cutthroat assassin,” he noted. “If it don’t make dollars then it don’t make sense.”

Jay-Z Responds To Tony Buzbee’s Claims Against Roc Nation & His Venereal Disease Accusations

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The legal drama between Jay-Z, Diddy, Tony Buzbee, and the former two’s accusers is heating up rapidly. Moreover, the attorney representing an anonymous accuser – who alleges that Jay and Sean Combs sexually assaulted her in 2000 when she was 13 years old – recently sued Roc Nation for allegedly soliciting clients illegally, in addition to his lawsuit against Hov. Now, the Brooklyn rapper has responded with a statement via the Roc’s social media pages, which also addresses a lawsuit against Buzbee that claims he gave a woman a sexually transmitted infection. It’s almost as scathing as his last statement.

“ROCNATION is going to be arrested because his client / alleged ex-lover is accusing him of assaulting her, giving her a venereal disease and asking her to falsify documents in a lawsuit?” Jay-Z wrote. “We suppose it is also ROCNATION’s fault that your other ex-clients are suing you for allegedly stealing their money? No and no. God is behind that sunlight you keep referencing. We are not the source of every sunlight that you get but Roc sunshine is coming your way Mr. 1800. Shameful.”

Jay-Z’s Next Response To Tony Buzbee

Tony Buzbee denies any and all allegations against him, and so do Diddy and Jay-Z, so we’ll see how this all plays out. But this comes as some content creators allege that Roc Nation watches over the Internet landscape with a punitive eye. “While we were on the phones and talking to sources and doing our research, two people told me that Roc Nation and Jay-Z have a whole team scouring the Internet and making sure that content creators are not stepping out of line,” YouTuber Trent Out Loud claimed. “And they will send cease and desist letters or legal letters with the quickness. So I wrote these things down [and] sent it to our lawyers to review it just to make sure that we’re in the clear with everything, alright?”

Meanwhile, many also came to Jay-Z’s defense amid this, so we’re still developing the narratives running opposite to each other. Some more firm and direct legal developments will have to emerge to really progress the situation in a significant way.

YouTuber Trent Out Loud Claims Jay-Z & Roc Nation Are Surveilling Content Creators For Cease And Desists

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The explosive lawsuit against Jay-Z and Diddy for alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old understandably dominates a lot of pop culture and gossip discourse these days, both within and beyond hip-hop. So it’s no surprise that Roc Nation is keeping a close eye on things… But how close is this gaze? Moreover, YouTuber Trent Out Loud recently claimed during a video that Hov and his company are surveilling content creators to make sure no one steps out of line with their remarks and watching out for potential cease-and-desists. This is an understandable reaction, but folks are still skeptical about potential oversteps.

“While we were on the phones and talking to sources and doing our research, two people told me that Roc Nation and Jay-Z have a whole team scouring the Internet and making sure that content creators are not stepping out of line,” Trent Out Loud remarked. “And they will send cease and desist letters or legal letters with the quickness. So I wrote these things down [and] sent it to our lawyers to review it just to make sure that we’re in the clear with everything, alright? […] What was missing on Jay-Z’s statement? Nobody’s talking about this, I don’t understand. Maybe some people are a little afraid to talk about it, but we are going to touch on it as much as we can.”

Elsewhere, Jay-Z also faces some other legal trouble such as a paternity test lawsuit that emerged in the wake of the alleged sexual assault filing. Rymir Satterthwaite claims to be the “illegitimate son” of the Brooklyn rapper, and alleges that Jay exhibited fraudulent behavior during prior paternity tests. There are also a couple of other legal and procedural stipulations that Satterthwaite suspects foul play over.

In addition, Roc Nation themselves received a lawsuit from Tony Buzbee, who filed the alleged sexual assault lawsuit against Jay-Z, for allegedly soliciting clients illegally. There are a lot of claims – both legal and more casual – flying back and forth from both sides, which only results in a lot of confusion. Without evidence or a trial proceeding, it’s hard to make heads or tails of these matters.
