Jay-Z is going after the attorney who filed a lawsuit against him, alleging he raped a 13-year-old girl.
The rap mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, filed a massive extortion lawsuit against Tony Buzbee, the Texas lawyer who filed the lawsuit in New York over the weekend. In his suit, Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, claims that Buzbee accused the rapper of having “multiple” assault incidents involving both male and female children. Hov has previously accused the lawyer of trying to extort him before filing the lawsuit.
Jay-Z’s attorney says that Buzbee “threatened to unleash entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault—including multiple instances of rape of a minor, both male and female—against Plaintiff if he refuses to comply with their demands.” Alex Spiro also accused Buzbee of using the allegations as “a weapon in a calculated plot to destroy Plaintiff’s high-profile reputation for profit, despite the complete absence of any factual basis for such claims.”
On Sunday, Jay-Z issued a fiery statement blasting Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing a woman identified as Jane Doe in a lawsuit against Diddy and Jay-Z. The lawsuit was initially filed in October with Diddy being the defendant, but on Sunday (December 8), the lawyer amended it to add Jay-Z as a defendant. The unidentified woman claimed that Diddy and Jay-Z sexually assaulted her in 2000 at an MTV VMAs afterparty. She claimed that she was only thirteen at the time of the incident.
In his statement, Jay-Z says that the attorney representing the unnamed woman had hoped that the public fallout from the allegation would make him 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,” Hov wrote in a statement released by Roc Nation.
Jat-Z’s attorney already filed legal documents requesting an emergency hearing into the matter in hopes of getting the case dismissed. Alex Spiro argued that the rampant media covering surrounding the allegations makes it time-sensitive. However, a judge has yet to set a hearing date.
Jay-Z’s extortion lawsuit against Tony Buzbee, filed before the new rape complaint against Jay-Z, indicates there could be allegations coming from Buzbee beyond the 13-year-old girl.
