Jay-Z took “improper” steps to identify the woman suing him for rape, according to her lawyer, Tony Buzbee.
Shawn Carter, known professionally as Jay-Z, and his legal team filed a letter Monday requesting the woman accusing the rapper of raping her when she was 13 years old be identified, Fox News Digital previously confirmed. The woman’s lawyer responded, claiming the letter was used as a pretext to submit “press releases” disguised as legal filings.
Rapper 50 Cent mocked music mogul Jay-Z on social media after he was named in a sexual assault lawsuit alongside 50 Cent’s longtime rival, Sean “Diddy” Combs, months after he repeatedly questioned why Jay-Z—who has denied claims against him—had not yet spoken up about Combs’ sexual assault allegations.
50 Cent (whose name is Curtis Jackson) trolled Jay-Z (whose name is Shawn Carter) and Sean “Diddy” Combs on Instagram Tuesday night, posting an AI-generated video of the two men getting arrested by the police and going to jail, with Jackson joking the post made him “afraid” he would get “shot.”
Jackson had previously mocked Carter in a post on X Monday, asking: “Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl. 😟I’m just asking for a friend,” referring to Carter’s company Roc Nation, which is the producer of the Super Bowl halftime show.
