Jay-Z Caught Up In Diddy Freakoff Fallout – Above the Law

The
consequences
of
Diddy’s
freakoffs
are
bigger
than
rap,
but
there
may
have
been
some
other
prominent
rappers
involve.
On
Sunday,
a
civil
suit
accused
Jay-Z
of
drugging
and
raping
a
13
year
old
girl
with
Diddy
in
back
in
2000.

NPR
has

coverage
:

The
anonymous
plaintiff,
identified
as
“Jane
Doe,”
said
the
assault
took
place
at
an
MTV
Video
Music
Awards
after-party.

Tony
Buzbee,
the
Texas
attorney
who
filed
the
complaint,
has
filed
several
lawsuits
against
Combs
in
recent
months
accusing
the
hip-hop
mogul
of
physical
assault
and
rape.
Buzbee’s
lawsuit
accused
Carter
of
filing
his
own
lawsuit
against
Buzbee,
which
Buzbee
called
“frivolous.”

While
Jay-Z
has
yet
to
come
forward

as
the
anonymous
public
figure
that
accused
Buzbee
of
extortion
,
Jay-Z’s
public
response
to
the
allegations
track
with
what
was
written
in
the
complaint:

“These
allegations
are
so
heinous
in
nature
that
I
implore
you
to
file
a
criminal
complaint,
not
a
civil
one!!”
he
said.
“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.”

“My
only
heartbreak
is
for
my
family,”
Carter
added.
“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.”

No
question
that
explaining
the
nature
of
the
suit
will
be
a
challenge,
but
the
upside
is
that
he
isn’t
alone.
It
appears
that
Tina
Knowles
–Beyonce’s
mother

is
informed
enough
on
the
issue
to
like
posts
on
Instagram
involving
the
suit:

Nobody
wins
when
the
family
feuds.
