The case against Jay-Z was dropped, and now the legendary rapper is taking the case to his accuser. Jay-Z is filing a lawsuit against the unnamed woman who accused him of rape last year, claiming she has now directly admitted that she fabricated those explosive allegations. Now that the case against him is dropped, he’s alleging that the Jane Doe accuser and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, carried out an “evil conspiracy” to extort a settlement from the superstar by making “false and malicious” allegations against him, alleging that the accuser has now “voluntarily admitted” directly to Jay-Z’s team that the star did not assault her and that Buzbee “pushed” her to make those allegations.
In a statement to Billboard, Buzbee sharply denied the allegations: “This case is baloney and has no legal merit. Shawn Carter’s investigators have repeatedly harassed, threatened and harangued this poor woman for weeks trying to intimidate her and make her recant her story. She won’t. Instead, she has stated repeatedly she stands by her claims.”
The December blockbuster case against Jay-Z claimed that he and Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV VMAs.
