Jay-Z has detailed the threats and stress his family endured in new court filings after a rape lawsuit was filed against him
In a legal filing supporting his lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee, Jay-Z explained how the false claims caused a lot of pain and loss.
“People have said ‘I can’t wait until you join (Combs) in prison. Then later in hell’,” the declaration reads. “Other comments have accused me of being a ‘satanist’, a ‘trafficker’, a ‘terrorist’, and a ‘monster’, called me the N-word and threatened violence against me and my wife, including to ‘kill’ or “execute” us.”
He also pointed out how the lawsuit was filed just before his daughter, Blu Ivy’s big night for the premiere of Mufasa.
According to Jay-Z, he felt like Buzbee was trying to put him in a tough spot; either support his daughter at the premiere or hide to avoid bad press.
“I felt that Mr. Buzbee was placing a gun to my head that I either bow to his demands or endure personal and financial ruin.”
Jay-Z called the lawsuit an “existential threat” to his reputation, which has caused him “mental anguish.”
Additionally, he accused Buzbee of trying to ruin his life and career, which led to him losing $20 million in Roc Nation deals.
As you know, Jay-Z was accused of assaulting a 13-year-old girl with Diddy at a 2000 MTV VMAs party.
Jay-Z has consistently denied the allegations, and the case was dismissed Friday.
