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

by

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!!”

Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, both known for their outspoken takes on the music industry, have added fuel to the fire surrounding recent allegations against Jay-Z. The two rappers recently shared their thoughts, suggesting that Diddy might have a hand in the claims against Hov.

The allegations, which accuse Jay-Z and Diddy of sexual assault involving a 13-year-old, have sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community. While Jay-Z has already denied the accusations and taken legal action, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda have raised suspicions about the timing and intent of the claims, hinting at possible behind-the-scenes sabotage.

During a discussion, Yayo and Murda alluded to Diddy’s history of being implicated in various scandals, implying that the mogul’s alleged tactics could be at play. “Diddy’s name always comes up when it’s some mess in the industry,” Yayo remarked. “You gotta wonder why things get so messy right when people are doing their thing or have a lot to lose.”

Uncle Murda echoed the sentiment, stating, “It’s like every time someone’s name gets dragged, Diddy somehow ends up in the conversation. I’m not saying he did it, but you can’t ignore the patterns.”

While neither Yayo nor Murda presented concrete evidence to support their claims, their comments have added to the speculation and conspiracy theories circulating online. Both rappers pointed out how competitive and cutthroat the music industry can be, particularly when power players and significant figures like Jay-Z and Diddy are involved.

Jay-Z has dismissed the allegations as an extortion attempt orchestrated by attorney Tony Buzbee, whom he accuses of trying to exploit the public’s attention for financial gain. “What [Buzbee] had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” Jay-Z said in his statement. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion.”

Diddy, meanwhile, has not directly addressed the speculation or the allegations against Jay-Z. However, the accusations come at a turbulent time for Diddy, who recently faced his own legal troubles, including a high-profile lawsuit that was settled out of court.

The controversy continues to generate headlines, with fans and industry insiders alike debating the motivations and credibility of the claims. As the story unfolds, figures like Yayo and Murda ensure that the conversation remains charged, raising questions about loyalty, competition, and betrayal within the hip-hop elite.

Foxy Brown Reacts To Jay-Z’s Sexual Assault Allegations

The Hip Hop world was rocked on Sunday night (December 8) when allegations surfaced against Jay-Z and Diddy, accusing them of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old. While Jay-Z swiftly responded with a scathing critique of prosecutor Tony Buzbee and a claim of prior legal action against Buzbee for alleged extortion, Foxy Brown also appeared to weigh in on the situation via her IG stories.

In her posts, Foxy shared the words “WAIT” and “WOW,” seemingly addressing the explosive allegations. These comments follow her previous denials of longstanding rumors about an underage relationship with Jay-Z during their time working together at Roc-A-Fella Records—claims she has consistently dismissed as false and baseless.

Back in October, Foxy had already taken to Instagram to address earlier accusations tied to Jay-Z. “In icon business!” she wrote at the time. “Miss me wit tha fake news[.] NDA? Ain’t a MF alive that could stop my story. NDA on my st gon run 100 mil.” She continued in subsequent posts, “Stop playin’ wit me name dyin’ for a comment! Can’t spin me with the sucker sh*t to take Hov down. Betta ask ‘bout tha cloth I’m cut from […] Y’all want me to be anti-Hov so bad.”

Meanwhile, Jay-Z’s response to the lawsuit was direct and defiant. “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,” he said in a statement. “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.”

The business mogul also expressed concern for his family amidst the scandal. “My only heartbreak is for my family,” he stated. “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.”

The case has drawn widespread attention, and as the situation develops, both Jay-Z and Foxy Brown remain firm in their stances, with the truth yet to be determined in court.

Charlamagne Tha God Responds To DJ Akademiks Saying That He’s Showing Bias Toward Jay-Z

by

DJ Akademiks has been extremely vocal about Jay-Z since the moment the news broke about his bombshell allegation. The rap mogul and businessman is currently looking to dismiss it as quick as possible at the moment as him and lawyer feel this has no validity. “Due to the highly sensitive nature of this matter and the intense media scrutiny it has generated, we respectfully request to be heard on an expedited basis. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Carter is entirely innocent. This is a shakedown,” his lawyer Alex Spiro said in a recent statement. On top of this, him and Hov are also looking for this Jane Doe to reveal her true identity going forward.

“Transparency in judicial proceedings is a fundamental principle,” Spiro said. “The plaintiff has failed to demonstrate any compelling reason to depart from this rule.” This is all still extremely fresh, so how long this plays out will be interesting to follow. Still though, Akademiks has not been too happy with how a lot of publications and other hip-hop media have been handling the news. The way he’s making it seem is that Jay-Z needs to be talked about in a more damning way.

Charlamagne Tha God Dismisses DJ Akademiks

It’s worth noting that Akademiks doesn’t particularly have lot of nice things to say about Roc Nation. He’s been highly critical and skeptical of their moves, especially during the Tory Lanez shooting. We say that because it’s possible that he wouldn’t mind seeing them (and in part Jay-Z) take hit following these allegations. Overall, he may have some bias too, even though he’s accusing others like Charlamagne Tha God and The Breakfast Club for showing it.

He felt that Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of the panel would be ripping Drake apart if he were Jay-Z’s shoes. However, he couldn’t disagree more. Charlamagne more so has an issue with lawyers trying to force and threaten those accused of paying a large sum of money or else. But he still isn’t buying the claims whatsoever, especially with the accuser remaining anonymous at the moment. Toward the end of the segment, Charlamagne also added that if there were clear-cut evidence proving that Jay-Z isn’t actually innocent (using Diddy beating Cassie as an example), then he would change his mind. For now though, he’s sticking by his opinion, regardless of what anyone has to say about it.

50 Cent Finally Explains His History With Jay-Z & Diddy Following Their Rape Allegation

by

There’s a possibility that we have been reading into 50 Cent’s feelings toward Jay-Z and Diddy all wrong. According to AllHipHop, the G-Unit head honcho made an appearance recently on Big Boy’s platform to discuss this very topic and his answers seem to be 100 percent authentic. They may also catch you off guard too, because they certainly did for us. If you have even been loosely following Fif, especially on social media, you may know that he usually doesn’t have the nicest things to say about either mogul. In general, he never misses the opportunity to troll either of them But, sometimes, he will really push the envelope. For example, very recently, Fif made a pretty savage joke after Jay-Z was seen at the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King which stars Beyonce and Blue Ivy.

“Jay said they said I raped a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mustafa. LOL,” he wrote. It’s been met with harsh criticism from the internet, and rightfully so. As for Diddy, he’s been constantly commenting and taunting him throughout the Bad Boy Records case. But despite all of his 50 Cent’s devious (sometimes disrespectful) behavior toward them, he claims to not have any real issues with either of them.

50 Cent Sets The Record Straight On His Relationships With Hov & Puff

In terms of Puff, he says, “I haven’t had issues with Puff where I don’t like him. I don’t like things that he would do that make me uncomfortable.” Then, shortly after answering that, he moved right into Jay-Z. “It’s definitely not that,” meaning that 50 doesn’t really have much of a beef with Hov. “It’s just being competitive,” he said.

In fact, he even went as far as to wish the Roc Nation founder well during this difficult time. “I just hope things are all right for him internally. I mean at the crib. Because in the statement they mentioned his daughter being old enough to… ‘cuz she about 13. So it’s the same age as these kids they saying he did something to.” Fif added later on that he feels that the rape allegation against both of them (as well as the hundreds against Diddy) are unfortunately enough to tarnish their images. “The damage is already done by the allegation itself,” he said. It will up to you all if you believe him, but on the surface, he seems to have no malicious intent when’s he typing up his social media posts.

50 Cent Trolls JAY-Z Over Sexual Assault Lawsuit, Shades Appearance at ‘Mufasa’ Premiere

by
50 Cent Expendables

50 Cent is in an all-out trolling assault on JAY-Z right now. After the news of a civil suit accusing JAY-Z of sexual assault, 50 had one question: “Are we gonna still have the Super Bowl?”

If that wasn’t enough, 50 doubled back with an image of The Carters at the Mufasa premiere, calling it a publicity stunt for the family image.

On Sunday (Dec. 8), a lawsuit accusing JAY-Z of raping a 13-year-old girl with Diddy after the 2000 VMAs hit online. JAY-Z called the suit an extortion attempt in a sharp response posted to the Roc Nation social media accounts. The suit is filed by Houston’s Tony Buzbee, who is representing alleged victims of Diddy.

In the statement, Hov pointed out the extortion attempt, writing that he wouldn’t give “ONE RED PENNY!!”

He also stated, “I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your king many times over.”

On a personal note, JAY-Z added, “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.”

After slamming Buzbee as an “ambulance chaser in a cheap suit,” Hov encouraged Buzbee to take the matter to criminal court and signed off, saying, “I look forward to showing you just how different I am.”

According to Apple Music and Ebro Darden’s Hot 97, Hov wrote the message himself on his iPhone.

According to NBC News, Jane Doe alleges JAY-Z and Diddy raped her at a VMAs after-party. The original suit only named Diddy but was recently adjusted to include Jay as a defendant. The woman claims she was dropped off at Radio City Music Hall, the venue for that year’s VMAs, but did not have a ticket to attend. She approached several limousine drivers before encountering one who allegedly worked for Diddy, who stated she “fit what Diddy was looking for.” Upon arrival, she stated she signed an NDA and took a drink that left her feeling “woozy,” eventually leading to the alleged sexual assault by both men.

The suit also states an unnamed woman celebrity.

The Carters took the red carpet of the Los Angeles premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King, which stars both Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Carter.

The family can be seen together, all smiles, on the red carpet. Blue Ivy wore a stunning gold gown that matched her mother’s hue. Hov was accompanied by a sharp burgundy suit.

The video shows the family posing together and a touching moment when Jay and Bey cheer on their daughter as she poses for the cameras.

“My gorgeous baby girl,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram. “This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining”

Jay-Z’s Legal Team Demands Sexaul Assault Accuser to Reveal Name, Pens Letter to Judge

JAY-Z is calling 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.”

Jay-Z Has Reportedly Filed To Have The ‘Baseless’ Rape Civil Lawsuit Against Him Dismissed

by

Yesterday (December 8), Jay-Z was named in a bombshell civil lawsuit that accused him of raping a minor. Now, the “Public Service Announcement” rapper is sending his own legal shots back. After releasing a statement slamming the allegations, Jay-Z has reportedly filed a court filing of his own.

According to Page Six, Jay-Z’s legal team is looking to have the sexual assault case dismissed. In the motion, Jay-Z reportedly argued the lawsuit lacked “subject matter jurisdiction” because of the “plaintiff’s lack of standing.”

“Plaintiff has provided no evidence—no affidavit, declaration, or specific factual support—to establish the kind of severe harm necessary to justify pseudonymity,” read the document.

In addition to the dismissal request, Jay-Z’s attorneys have requested for the matter to be expedited. He also wants the Jane Doe’s identity to be “disclosed immediately.”

Read Jay-Z’s full statement regarding the allegations below.

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!!

These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?

These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.

This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics!

I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over. I’m more than prepared to deal with your type. You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honor nor dignity.

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. I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.

My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.

You have made a terrible error in judgement thinking that all ‘celebrities’ are the same. I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games.

We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain. 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.

Beyonce Praises Daughter Blue Ivy Amidst JAY-Z Assault Allegations

by

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.
