Jay-Z’s Former Mistress Posts Chilling Message Amidst Assault Allegations

December 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z is in the hot seat. The rapper has been accused of raping a teenage girl at a 2000 after party alongside disgraced mogul Diddy. Jay has denied these allegations. The rapper confirmed that he plans to fight the lawsuit filed against him. That has not stopped the public from giving their opinion on the matter. Some have already deemed Hov guilty. The rapper’s peers and business associates, on the other hand, have expressed doubt about his guilt. Hov’s former mistress, Carmen Bryan, took a more ominous approach on Wednesday.

Carmen Bryan, who had a decade long affair with Hov, took to Instagram. She did not mention the icon by name. But she did suggest that truth was not being properly served. “These days,” she wrote. “People don’t defend what is right, they defend who they like.” The implication, of course, being that people who are well-connected are sticking up for Jay-Z’s reputation. Bryan rubbed additional salt in the wound with her closing statement: “And that’s why we call you a groupie.” Once more, no names are mentioned. That said, it doesn’t take much to tie her comments to the Hov controversy.

The icing on this unnerving post a screenshot of lyrics. Carmen Bryan chose to isolate a section of the 2010 song “Monster.” The song features a verse from Jay-Z, in which he makes reference to raping and pillaging as a means of showing his monstrous tendencies. “Kill a block, I murder the avenues, I rape and pillage your village, women and children.” Hov spits. This was very intentional on the part of Bryan, who’s been open about her feelings about Jay-Z. She detailed her nine year affair with the rapper in her memoir It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, From Seduction to Scandal, A Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All.

Carmen Bryan claims that she was pregnant with Jay-Z’s child, but suffered a miscarriage. She detailed this harrowing experience during a 2017 interview with Vlad TV. “I believe I was three months, it was the first trimester,” she explained. “It wasn’t like ‘Oh we are going to have this baby.’” Bryan then told Jay-Z about the pregnancy after the miscarriage occurred.

Stephen A Smith Breaks Silence On Jay-Z Sexual Assault Allegations

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stephen A Smith has got takes. He gives takes for a living, in fact. Sports may be his forte, but the famous analyst has also weighed in on recent hip hop scandals. Smith has got lots to say about the likes of Diddy and Drake. Jay-Z has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor in a new lawsuit, so it only seems natural that the analyst weigh in on this matter as well. Stephen A Smith was critical of Diddy and Drake, however. In the case of Jay-Z, the media personality believes that foul play is involved.

Smith made it clear from the jump that he did not believe the allegations against Jay-Z. “I cannot believe for one second,” he explained. “That he would ever be associated with an allegation like this.” Stephen A Smith went on to address the inevitable criticisms that his stance would elicit from fans. He claimed that many would be frustrated by the fact that he was critical of Diddy’s assault allegations, but not those for Jay-Z. The difference? Well, in Smith’s case, it was familiarity. He claimed to have only spoken to Diddy a few times throughout his life. Jay-Z, meanwhile, is someone he’s known for two and a half decades.

Stephen A Smith Vouched For Jay-Z’s Character As A Friend

“I don’t believe it,” Stephen A Smith asserted. He admitted that he couldn’t go much further in terms of a stance, since he was not present the night the alleged assault took place. Still, the analyst stated that he was not convinced by the allegations that have been put forth. Stephen A Smith claimed that he not only knew Jay-Z, but loved him. He also claimed that the rapper would not be “capable of such a thing” in his estimation. “That’s love right there,” he explained. “Because of what you know about a person. Based on your personal interactions.”

Stephen A Smith returned to the Diddy comparisons. Jay-Z was accused of assaulting a teenager in the company of Diddy at the 2000 VMAs after party. The analyst does not, however, align Hov with the Bad Boy mogul. “This ain’t P. Diddy,” Smith asserted. “Homeland Security didn’t raid Jay-Z’s home. He was not charged with multiple felony accounts.” Stephen A Smith is the latest celebrity to attempt to draw a line between the Diddy allegations and the lone allegation made against Jay-Z. He does, however, make a decent argument regarding the differences between them.

Beyonce Is Allegedly “Supporting” Jay-Z Amidst Assault Accusations

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z has been a talking point for all the wrong reasons this week. The legendary rapper was accused of raping a teenager with Diddy at a 2000 VMAs afterparty. Hov has denied these allegations outright, and countersued his accuser, but the negative press continues to accumulate. Some fans have questioned whether Jay-Z’s controversies will cause damage to his marriage with Beyonce. Sources reportedly close to the couple, however, claim that there is nothing to worry about.

Page Six spoke to two people who are allegedly part of the Carters’ inner circle. One of them claimed Queen Bey was committed to her marriage with Jay-Z. “[Beyonce] has no intention of leaving Jay-Z,” they asserted. “She wholeheartedly believes him, [and is] supporting him throughout.” The anonymous source pointed to the fact that Jay-Z accompanied Beyonce and their daughter Blue Ivy Carter to a film premiere on December 9. Beyonce and Blue Ivy voice characters in Mufasa: The Lion King, and the trio were the image of unity on the red carpet.

Sources Claim Beyonce Is “Committed” To Her Marriage

The second source told Page Six that Beyonce is hell bent on restoring Jay-Z’s reputation following the rape allegation. “[The Carters are] a team,” they insisted. “And will face this situation together.” Beyonce has yet to issue a public statement regarding the allegations. That said, the musical icon has refrained from discussing her marriage publicly for the past decade. She has let her music, particularly 2016’s Lemonade, do the talking instead. The same cannot be said for Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles. The celebrity relative courted controversy on Monday when she liked a post detailing Jay-Z’s alleged crimes.

Fans were horrified to see Knowles seemingly condemning her son-in-law. She quickly course corrected, though. Beyonce’s mother got on Instagram and claimed that her account was hacked when the aforementioned post was liked. “I was Hacked,” Knowles told followers. “As you all know I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me. Just know that it is not me!” Jay-Z, meanwhile, has issued a lengthy statement of his own via social media. He insisted that the whole situation is a means of extorting money from him. “It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion,” Hov told accusing lawyer, Tony Buzbee. “So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”

Joe Budden Reveals Why He Isn’t Covering Jay-Z Allegations On His Podcast This Week

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The coverage of Jay-Z’s rape allegation has been nonstop the subplots keep on rolling in. Every publication you could possibly imagine is reporting on it, but one really. That would be The Joe Budden Podcast. So far, only one new episode has been uploaded in the last three days, with next one hitting on Wednesday. In that latest entry, the crew got nowhere near the story, so what gives? Well, their host and founder himself recently sent out a tweet to address the noise. “No need for think pieces guys, I’m dealing with a personal family matter, pls allow me to do so personally. Super grateful to each member of the crew for holding it down in my absence, thank you.”

Thankfully, social media users were respectful to his wishes and sending positive thoughts. “They did a great job! Prayers up!” one X user writes. “Take your time, Joe.” another adds. We too are wishing Joe Budden and his family the best during this time, and we hope that whatever is happening isn’t too dire. While it sounds like it’s been a wild week for Mr. Budden, the same can be said for Jay-Z.

Joe Budden Is Dealing With A Personal Matter

As it stands, him and his lawyer, Alex Spiro, are making some serious moves to get this case wiped. In the last 48 hours since the rape allegations news began to circulate, Spiro, is going at Tony Buzbee and this alleged victim. His most recent offensive play has been to accuse the Houston lawyer of coercing this Jane Doe to bringing Diddy into this lawsuit.

“After several outreaches, the woman again spoke with members of the Buzbee firm, who she felt were pressing her to make allegations,” Spiro wrote to Judge Analisa Torres. “When the woman declined to adopt the version of events proposed by members of the Buzbee firm, she was summarily dropped as a client. Though the woman provided her identity to Ms. [Mari] Henderson, she wishes to remain unnamed at this time for fear of retaliation by the Buzbee firm.”

Beyonce Praises Daughter Blue Ivy Amidst JAY-Z Assault Allegations

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It has been a difficult stretch, legally speaking, for the Carters. JAY-Z and Beyonce were accused of heinous acts by Jaguar Wright, and subsequently sent a cease-and-desist to interviewer Piers Morgan. The latter subsequently issued an apology. Now, however, JAY-Z has been saddled with even more grim allegations. The rapper is being accused of assaulting a teenager alongside Diddy during an after party in 2000. Hov denied these allegations, and a day later, he attended a film premiere with Beyonce and their daughter.

JAY-Z, Beyonce and Blue Ivy Carter attended the world premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King. Beyonce and Blue Ivy voice characters in the film, and JAY made sure to show support on the red carpet. Interestingly enough, Beyonce did not include her husband on the Instagram post commemorating the event. Queen Bey decided to focus on her daughter, instead. “My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night,” she wrote in the caption. “You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”

Beyonce Has Yet To Comment On JAY-Z Lawsuit

Fans flocked to the comment section to show their support for Blue Ivy. The timing, and the particular wording of Beyonce’s post, however, led some to question whether there was an intentional effort to take the focus away from JAY-Z’s allegations. The rapper is nowhere to be found on the singer’s social media, despite being on the red carpet with Blue Ivy. There’s also the emphasis on it being Blue Ivy’s “night,” as a means of highlighting her achievement over Hov’s legal drama. This is the first time that Beyonce has posted anything on Instagram since November 23.

It’s also, crucially, the first time she has issued any kind of public statement since JAY-Z’s allegations came to light. Beyonce has not directly addressed the claims made against her husband. Her mother, Tina Knowles, seemingly did via Instagram. She liked a post about JAY-Z’s alleged assault, which had fans thoroughly confused. She later claimed that she had been hacked, however. Knowles assured the fans that she will always stand by her family, and does not believe the allegations.

Slim Thug Bashes Fans For Assuming JAY-Z Allegations Are True

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Slim Thug has got a lot to say. The rapper goes viral every few months for giving his two cents on a controversy. He’s spoke on everything from Megan Thee Stallion to the notion that he’s made more than any other rapper off mixtapes. Slim Thug’s latest topic of discussion, though, is his most grave yet. He addressed the rape allegations that have been made against JAY-Z on Sunday. Hov was accused of assaulting a teenage girl alongside Diddy at a 2000 VMAs after party. Thug doesn’t buy it, though.

Slim Thug took to Instagram Live to air out his thoughts on the situation. Simply put, he doesn’t think JAY-Z is guilty. “JAY-Z is not guilty,” he asserted. “I don’t believe that sh*t.” Slim Thug then broadened the topic, and addressed the reason he believes Hov and Diddy are being targeted. “We’ll continue to see motherf*ckers try to take down Black billionaires,” the rapper posited. “And everybody gonna cheer him on. For allegations. No criminal cases or none of that sh*t.” Thug then delved into his experiences with lawyers, and the ways in which they allegedly operate.

“I been telling y’all how them lawyers do,” Slim Thug noted. “They try and get money. Get motherf*ckers to settle cuse they know public opinion gon’ kill them anyway. Whether you innocent or not.” Thug feels that blogs and various media outlets make it so that an allegation is enough to cause damage to a public persona. “By the time the blogs get done,” he added. “Sheesh. That sh*t all fake anyway.” Slim Thug had a similar stance when Diddy was first accused of assault and sexual harassment. The rapper scolded the hip hop community for writing the Bad Boy mogul off after decades of impactful work.

The Houston rapper did change his tune on Diddy, though. Slim Thug took to social media shortly after the video of Diddy attacking Cassie surfaced online. He issued an apology to the R&B singer, and turned his ire toward Diddy. “I can’t stand behind this I’ll take this L,” he explained. “But I still will ride with my ppl until I see some sort of proof. I don’t believe in blogs or civil suits.” Slim Thug is standing by the latter half of his statement, and extending the same grace to JAY-Z. Innocent until proven guilty.

Tony Yayo And Uncle Murda Suggest Diddy Is Behind JAY-Z Allegations

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JAY-Z’s rape allegations have turned the hip hop world on its head. The emcee has been accused of sexually assaulting a teenager with Diddy two decades ago. JAY-Z has denied these allegations in the form of a written statement. There are two NYC artists, however, who will remain in his corner. Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda were interviewed by TMZ as they exited an airport. The veterans felt that Hov was being set up. He went as far as to theorize that Diddy was the man behind it all.

Uncle Murda was the most forthright in terms of his stance. “I think Diddy paid somebody to say that sh*t about JAY,” he posited. “To get the heat off of hisself. Diddy looking bad out here.” The Brooklyn icon went on to suggest that Diddy would do whatever he could to improve his current situation. “Gotta watch Diddy,” Uncle Murda added. “He going through a lot right now.” Tony Yayo was similarly hesitant to believe the JAY-Z allegations. “It sound like a money grab with that one,” he noted. “Somebody send you a letter, and then you gotta send your lawyers? Sound like extortion.”

Tony Yayo Suspects “Exortion” In JAY-Z Case

Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda urged the TMZ reporter to spread their takes with the rest of the world. The reporter asked whether they agreed with JAY-Z’s decision to fight the allegations publicly. This bold decision drew support from the likes of Tony Yayo and Murda. “F*ck that,” the rapper explained. “You gotta fight that.” Murda also voiced his support. He doubled down on his Diddy conspiracy theory. “That’s Puff trying to set him up,” he concluded.

Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda are uniquely qualified to speak on JAY-Z. The former was running in circles similar to Hov in the 2000s, while the latter was signed to Roc-A-Fella Records alongside Hov for several years. Not every peer of JAY-Z’s has been as supportive, though. Tony Yayo and Murda’s former boss, 50 Cent, had a much more flippant response to Hov’s allegations. He sarcastically inquired about JAY-Z’s involvement in the Super Bowl, while claiming he was “asking for a friend.” Leave it to 50 to troll no matter the circumstances.

DJ Akademiks Implores That Drake Needs To Remain Quiet Amid Jay-Z’s Rape Allegation

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is now a major talking point within the discourse surrounding Jay-Z’s recent rape allegation thanks to DJ Akademiks. The rap media pundit has been intensely discussing this recent bombshell report of Hov allegedly sexually assaulting a then 13-year-old girl. The Jane Doe is accusing now the Roc Nation founder of the same act after initially only including Diddy in the October suit. Tony Buzbee, who’s been representing over 100 alleged victims in the latter’s case, re-filed it over the weekend. There have been a lot of shocked individuals online since the news hit, including one 50 Cent. Fif never been tight with Jay-Z, so he took the time to poke fun at him on IG.

“Ok, I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl? I’m just asking for a friend!” Some are taking this as a genuine question from 50 Cent, but others feel they are reading right through him. The G-Unit boss loves to taunt his foes, so it’s reasonable to think that he would laughing at Jay-Z. This is something that DJ Akademiks is strongly encouraging Drake not to do right now.

DJ Akademiks Continues To Cause Debate Amid Jay-Z’s Lawsuit

For some reason, he’s been looking to make loose connections fit with this Jay-Z story and Drizzy is one of them. Ak believes the Canadian superstar should just remain quiet, most likely because of the pedophile claims on Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, “Not Like Us.” We say that because the clip above only shows but so much. However, Ak and Wack 100 were also discussing the 2010 concert in Colorado in which Drake was in awe over a 17-year-old girl.

If you remember, he brought her onstage and kissed her after complimenting her on her looks. The legal age is 17 in Colorado, and Akademiks was defending The Boy on a technicality for his still weird behavior. Ak did mention earlier in his livestream that he feels this whole rape allegation is nonsense. Additionally, he was imploring other rappers to stop with these wild accusations because he feels that some women are out to chase a bag. Still, even though Drake has never been accused of such a thing, given how people feel about him and the consistent mention of pedophilia against him, Akademiks thinks they will come for him next.

DJ Akademiks Manages To Blame Kendrick Lamar For The Rape Allegation Against Jay-Z

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks is going after everybody in his latest rant, and unsurprisingly, Kendrick Lamar is a part of it. The hip-hop media pundit went on livestream recently to discuss the recent bombshell allegation against Jay-Z. If you are just tuning in, the New York rapper and businessman is currently being accused of rape by a Jane Doe. She claims she was just 13 at the time of this encounter and it happened at an after-party following the 2000 MTV Music Video Awards. The lawsuit was originally filed in October and only included Diddy’s name. However, on behalf of Tony Buzbee, it was adjusted and sent back in to have Hov in the suit.

Jay-Z feels it’s blatant “blackmail” and that the Houston lawyer should have filed a “criminal complaint” instead. Buzbee also spoke out and addressed the Roc Nation founder’s statement and he seems more than ready to head to court. As for how DJ Akademiks, Kendrick Lamar, and even Drake, to an extent, tie into this, let us explain. As we said, Ak broke things down on his platform and talked about how it’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Especially since he feels that Roc Nation as portrayed themselves as “saints.”

The Internet Can’t Believe This Kendrick Lamar Take From DJ Akademiks

If you have been following the journalist’s career, you know he’s been against Jay-Z’s entertainment company for a while. While he essentially thinks very little of this lawsuit, Akademiks is upset with one person in particular for this happening. He puts the blame on Kendrick Lamar for constantly talking about the “weird case” surrounding Drake’s affiliate, Baka Not Nice. Akademiks is also disappointed with him he thinks Lamar is endangering his contemporaries in world where allegations are running rampant.

Shockingly, Ak called out Drake a little bit too for doing the same thing during the beef. If you remember, he accused Lamar of beating on his significant other. But overall, Akademiks is placing a lot of it at Kendrick’s feet because he’s portayed himself as “Jesus” in his mind. As you could imagine, the internet was left speechless and annoyed with this take.
