Sources say that Jay-Z, who was recently named in a civil lawsuit accusing him and Combs of raping a 13-year-old in 2000, has no plans to show loyalty to Diddy during this challenging time.
The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has denied the allegations, and his lawyer emphasized that his relationship with Combs is strictly professional. Insiders claim that Jay-Z is focused on clearing his name and will do whatever it takes to avoid jail time, including distancing himself from Diddy.
One source stated, “Jay-Z would absolutely throw Diddy under the bus if that’s what it took to clear his name.” They added that Jay-Z began distancing himself from Combs after his arrest earlier this year on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
As the lawsuit progresses, Jay-Z’s legal team is working to have him removed from the case, citing inconsistencies in the accuser’s story. However, sources insist that Jay-Z’s actions are solely about protecting himself and his family, not helping Diddy.
The situation was further complicated by leaked footage of Combs allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, which reportedly influenced Jay-Z’s decision to sever ties with Combs.
Despite this, some sources note that Combs appreciates having Jay-Z’s support in his ongoing legal battle, as any success in the case could benefit him as well.
