Here is his statement in full -

My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a “lawyer” named Tony Buzbee. 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. 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. This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics!
"My only heartbreak is for my family. 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. 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.
"I have no idea how you have come

My heart and support goes out to true victims in the worldld*_ , who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.
"I’m not from your world. 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. 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. I look forward to showing you just how different I am."

Could be explosive in the US and the racial aspect is going to surface. A famous black artist married to one of the most famous black women singers in the world being brought a law suit by a white lawyer from Texas?

The black community are going to say this is racism pure and simple

There have been rumours for ages and they had a real surge after Diddy.

VaddaABeetch · 09/12/2024 17:16

Didn’t he get together with Beyonce when she was 16 & he was 28?

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 09/12/2024 17:18

My thoughts are that the entertainment industry is a hedonistic cesspit and nothing would surprise me. But, people are legally innocent until proven guilty.

There have been rumours for ages and they had a real surge after Diddy.

there was a thread on here a month or two ago where somebody asked why they hadn't publicly condoned his behaviour and a poster said something along the lines of because they had something to hide themselves and were shitting themselves getting associated with it.

There's also the reference to a high profile female celebrity being in the room while it happened - Beyonce herself is the most obvious suspect and to me it sounds like they are bringing the claim and not naming them - yet - in an effort to hope they will settle to protect her.

tbh my view is that even if they didn't do anything themselves, it's highly unlikely they didn't know what he was up to, and they haven't issued any sort of comment condoning him, so hardly covering themselves in glory.

Kentuckycriedfrickin · 09/12/2024 17:47

Given how close they've been for all those years and how powerful/connected Jay-Z is in the industry, there is absolutely no way at all that he didn't know the shit Diddy was getting up to.

At worst, this accusation is true and I wouldn't be surprised if it was. People who release ranting statements like that using RANDOM CAPITALS and multiples of !!! are usually trying to deflect, his PR team must be crying right now. And at best, he knew and didn't say anything so is complicit in Diddy's crimes. Either way, the man is a piece of shit and deserves every last piece of stress headed his way. I wouldn't be shocked if this is the first of further accusations.

I saw this earlier. Bizarrely, Beyoncé's moths was liking reports of the allegations on instagram.

Like OJ...and Michael Jackson...🤔

Wellingtonspie · 09/12/2024 17:57

I thought it was one of those things. Diddy and Jay-Z the not secret secret throw in R Kelly too.

Power industry men abusing their power. Meeting and wanting B when she was 16 and he was 28 though she claimed they met when older he was on record that she was 16.

there's a lot going on with that family. remember Jay-Z and Solange in the lift? And the court case against her father for allegedly stealing from Beyonce? After which she sacked him as her manager.

mids2019 · 09/12/2024 18:04

I think JZ is saying why isn't the girl aiming to get a criminal prosecution given the allegations are so serious?

It may be the civil bar is lower. The cynic in me suspects this will be settled for many millions and justice will be denied.

Quitelikeit · 09/12/2024 18:07

On that night in question it was J Lo who was dating Diddy and was present throughout the evening (not saying she was present in the room)

There was rumours that this association with Diddy contributed to her split with Affleck

Mickey79 · 09/12/2024 18:07

Well I agree about civil case vs criminal case, why do it that way? Civil cases provide monetary reward and that is not justice, prison is. Wonder if more women will speak up in the coming weeks. Time will tell.

SabrinaToolmaker · 09/12/2024 18:07

It may be that the statute of limitations have passed.

It’s a very non-PR firm statement from Jay-Z which seems unusual these days.

Award/ damages not reward. Trying to do too many things at once 🙄.

Because to find someone guilty in a criminal case the jury have have to believe they're guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, in a civil case you only have to prove it on a balance or probabilities. Knowing how hard SA and rape cases are to prove it's not that illogical to opt for the latter really.

JetskiSkyJumper · 09/12/2024 18:39

Balance of probabilities

Someone on X listed all the female celebrities at that particular party and JLo was the only one listed, which made it seem like they were pointing the finger at her being the one in the room without actually saying it.

RubyRedBow · 09/12/2024 19:01

There’s been wild conspiracy theory’s about JayZ and Beyoncé for years.

UmbrellaEllaEllaElla · 09/12/2024 19:03

There have been whispers about these two for a very long time.

Uytfy · 09/12/2024 19:04

He's hardly going to admit it, is he.

MermaidEyes · 09/12/2024 19:07

Sorry that should have said listed all the celebrities and JLo was the only female listed

BESTAUNTB · 09/12/2024 19:09

Weird that he hasn’t issued a statement via his PR using more formal language.
