Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z and Sean Diddy Combs have been named in a rape case involving a minor. And it’s getting uglier by the second. Recall that the producer and his pop star wife have been lying low ever since the Diddy Saga began.
Following Sean Diddy Comb’s arrest and continuous denial of bail, several rumours have been buzzing across social media platforms. One was that Beyonce and Jay-Z had something to do with the disgraced producer and that they knew more than they were willing to let on.

And now Anthony Buzbee who is the attorney representing several of Diddy’s alleged victims has served Beyonce’s husband with a lawsuit. He accused Jay-Z and Sean Diddy Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000. The accuser remains anonymous and stated that the assault occurred after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.
The suit was first filed in October in the Southern District of New York with only Sean Diddy Combs as a defendant. But now It was refiled on Sunday, 8th December to include Shawn Carter (Jay-Z). Beyonce’s husband has now refuted the allegations writing in a statement to NBC News that Anthony Buzbee was trying to blackmail him.
Part of his statement reads, “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one Whoever 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.”
In answer to the lawsuit filed against Jay-Z and Sean Diddy Combs, Anthony Buzbee took to X formerly Twitter to write, “Regarding the Jay Z case and his efforts to silence my clients: Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym.”

“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,” the tweet continued.
“She is emboldened. I’m very proud of her resolve. As far as the allegations in the complaint filed, we will let the filing speak for itself and will litigate the facts in court, not in the media,” it finished. So far, social media users are sharing their opinions noting that Jay-Z’s statement is, “an incredibly dramatic and emotionally manipulative attempt to deny the allegations, for sure.”
