Jay-Z Strongly Denies ‘Heinous’ Rape Allegations, Slams Attorney Tony Buzbee’s Legal Tactics

In the latest twist in a legal battle that has captured the public's attention, Shawn Corey Carter—better known as Jay-Z—has vehemently denied the "heinous" rape allegations brought against him by a 13-year-old girl. The lawsuit, filed by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, alleges that the Grammy-winning rapper, along with his long-time friend Sean “Diddy” Combs, raped the minor at a party in 2000. The claims, which Jay-Z has branded as “blackmail,” have shaken the foundations of his public image, prompting an outpouring of support for the rapper, his family, and his long-standing commitment to justice.
