Popular American rapper Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, released a scathing statement targeting a Texas-based attorney accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl with disgraced rapper, music producer and entrepreneur Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The civil lawsuit was originally filed in October in the Southern District of New York against Combs but was re-filed Sunday to include Jay-Z as a defendant.

In response to this heavy allegation, the rapper and entrepreneur filed his own lawsuit against the attorney, NBC News reported. Less than hour after news of the lurid and disturbing allegations broke on Sunday, Jay-Z Carter put out a statement on Instagram, under his label’s, Roc Nation Instagram account calling the accusations “blackmail.”
The statement reads:
“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!!” Carter said.
He 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.”
Talking to the prosecutor Tony Buzbee, he wrote: “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.”
Jay-Z, thinking about the effect of such allegations on his family, wrote: “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.”
Carter went ahead to express sympathy for the victims of Diddy’s crimes, while also bashing clout chasers who are using their ordeal as ‘costume for profitability’. “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.”
