Jay-Z statement in full as he is accused of raping girl, 13, with Diddy

Jay-Z has broken his silence after being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in 2000.

The rapper, who is 55 years old and goes by the name Shawn Corey Carter, has responded to the allegations in the filing by issuing a statement through the Roc Nation X account where he denies and criticizes the claims.

An updated complaint in a civil case against Combs alleges that Jay-Z and Combs raped the girl at an after party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 2000.

Jay-Z was added to the lawsuit which was originally filed as one of several anonymous complaints in October by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee.

Many of the lawsuits did not survive because the plaintiffs declined to have their identities unveiled. However, the judge said the then-13-year-old victim showed sufficient cause to continue with the lawsuit in anonymity.

In Jay-Z’s statement, he slammed Buzbee, suggesting he was not a legitimate lawyer, and launched a slew of insults, calling him a ‘deplorable human’ and ‘ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.’

The rapper added the allegations, which he said were ‘so heinous in nature,’ were all ‘idiotic claims.’

In the letter, the Roc Nation founder began: ‘My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a “lawyer” named Tony Buzbee.’

He accused Buzbee of taking on the case for ‘personal gain’ and wrote: ‘What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me 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,’ he continued. ‘So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!’ 

‘These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! 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,’ he continued. 

‘This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics! I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over. I’m more than prepared to deal with your type,’ he added.

‘You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honor nor dignity’

The rapper then mentioned how it is ‘unfair’ that his family, particularly his eldest daughter Blue Ivy, will also be affected by the lawsuit. He also shares twins Rumi and Sir, seven, with Beyonce.

‘My only heartbreak is for my family,’ he wrote. ‘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,’ he wrote.

‘Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit,’ he added. 

‘My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.’ 

‘You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all “celebrities” are the same. I’m not from your world,’ he wrote.

‘I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor,’ he continued.

‘We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable.’

He concluded his statement and wrote: ‘I look forward to showing you just how different I am.’ 

On the same day, Combs also shared a statement via his legal representatives.

His legal representatives responded to the latest filing and stated: ‘This amended complaint and the recent extortion lawsuit against Mr. Buzbee exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs.’

‘As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,’ Combs’ representatives said in the statement.

Combs has separately been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering.

Federal prosecutors allege that Combs, 55, sexually abused women and coerced them into drug-fueled sex parties using threats and violence.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his criminal trial is currently slated to begin on May 5, 2025.

Combs has also faced a massive wave of suits promised by lawyers including Texas attorney Buzbee, who said in October that more than 100 alleged victims were planning legal action against him.
