A bombshell civil lawsuit accuses Jay Z of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs….NOW, the rapper feels he owes his immediate family an explanation.
ABOUT THE ACCUSATION
The rapper and Beyoncé, who are understood to have met before the alleged incident, married in 2008 and share three children: Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, seven.
The accuser, who identifies herself as Jane Doe in the legal documents, claims the assault took place at a party after the the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
The lawsuit had initially been filed in New York’s Southern District this past October against Combs, with a refiling on Sunday naming the rapper, 55, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
The woman accusing the rapper claims that the assault took place at an afterparty following the event, which took place September 7, 2000 at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
JAY Z DENIES IT
Jay-Z issued a lengthy statement denies the claims made in the re-filed lawsuit.
He referenced Beyoncé in the emotionally charged response and said he was dismayed his children would have to hear about the allegations.
He said: ‘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.
He continued: ‘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.’
JAY Z WORDS IN FULL
Jay Z insists the accusations are a shakedown and went on to make a blistering attack on the lawyer representing Jane Doe: ‘My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,’ he said. ‘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!!’
The musician continued, ‘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!’
