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."

Her mum liked the news report of the allegation. Speaks volumes

Whose mum?

Amaranthasweetandfair · 09/12/2024 23:47

@ExitPersuedByABruisedEgo that has really made me laugh! Maybe not the thread to weigh in on for you. I am hardly on top of the music industry but really, we are talking about some of the most famous people in the world.

Beyonces. Remember the elevator fight between Jay z and her sister Solange? I don't think the family like him very much ever since whatever that was about

unmemorableusername · 09/12/2024 23:49

Didn't he start dating (grooming) B when she was 15? In states where under 18 sex is illegal?

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

Men hung up on previous partners is beyond me.

ItsFunToBeAVampire · 09/12/2024 23:55

There's been rumours about Jay-Z for years, not just rape, but worse.
Look up Cathy White.
No idea what's true but nothing would surprise me.

Who is Rihanna?

Have you been living in a cave for the past 20 years?

Rihanna is one the most famous, popular, and successful singers, songwriters, businesswomen, and performers of the 21st century. She has her own business selling beauty products (Fenty Beauty,) she has sold over 60 million albums, and nearly 200 million singles, and she has 9 grammys. She is worth one and a half billion US dollars, and has 108 million Twitter followers... More than Taylor Swift.

I suppose you haven't heard of Taylor Swift either..... ? 🙄

Another example of MNers pretending not to know about pop culture. I don't know why they do it, it's so tedious!

I've heard things for years that suggest he's not a nice man.

He got the media to suggest Solange was crazy after that whole lift incident and I remember thinking at the time she was the only one I believed.

ChessorBuckaroo · 10/12/2024 01:17

Never liked anything he's ever done (most rap really). Beyonce is the musician in the relationship in that she can sing. She does really good covers of other peoples songs ("If I were a boy" is a great cover). If he is guilty it will be real easy to cancel him.

The actual music part of the rap songs, which are usually sampled (or stolen, such as Under Pressure by Queen and Bowie, Boadicea by Enya etc.) from musicians, that's the best part. Puff Daddy's (or Diddy) biggest hit of course, he borrowed that classic piece of music written by Sting. So like Jay Z, also very easy to cancel him. The music remains untainted when you wipe them out.

There have been rumours for a long time. I will never forget how he treated Rihanna to get her to sign with them.

More info on this please ?

If it's the rumours I'm thinking of, he allegedly had an affair with an underage Rihanna and this was the reason for a previous relationship break with Beyonce (who, despite them being on the same label and despite Ri being Jay-Z's protege, has never collaborated with Rihanna).

unclebuck · 10/12/2024 08:40

He was besties with Robert Kelly and Sean Combs. He 'got out of the ghetto' by bringing a violent criminal. Listen to Jaguar wright.

Exactly this, you can tell a lot about what kind of person someone is by the company they keep.

Now claiming she's been hacked 🤷‍♀️

TokyoSushi · 10/12/2024 09:41

The thing is that they have absolutely not got where they are by being good, kind, decent people. They started as drug dealers and petty criminals, and then through a series of moves became wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. They are some of the most famous and influential people in the world, but they didn't get where they are by being nice. And this is what happens when for years and years 'the rules' basically don't apply to you. The consequences of their own actions are finally catching up, you can't outrun it forever.

Candy24 · 10/12/2024 09:45

Honestly Diddy is going to blow the whole music world apart. Also there has to be truth to this. Not sure what truth but a lot of the big connections to Diddy have shut up and are tying up lose ends. The big names are about to be exposed.

The statute of limitations has kicked in.

Yet another way men protect themselves and each other.

No it has not. In the state of New York, the statute of limitations is when the victim turns 55 years old. This case has been filed in NY, and the alleged assault happened there too.

itgotweird · 10/12/2024 10:34

The entire celeb industry has no HR, ombudsman etc I don't think

If you're an artist trying and you come across someone who has the power to smear you or promote you, you're trapped- who do you report someone to, who do they investigate, your whole career is in jeopardy unless you're keeping certain people happy

Power corrupts

30 years ago people wouldn't have heard from those who never made it to hear the stories, social media changed that, its one good thing about it

I remember when R Kelly was a conspiracy theory, when MJ was crazy for things he said about people, when Epstein island was conspiracy, thing is... so many conspiracy theories are now simply fact, that oddi dude looked insane in 2018 but he was telling what's happening now then

Jag, Kat - people have been talking and looking crazy for it for years but I can't think they're crazy when they've been right about too much now

BarbedButterfly · 10/12/2024 10:51

I watched an interview with her a while ago where she talks about how at 16 Jay Z had her in a room trying to get her to sign with him.

She said he told her, “there's two ways to leave here, either through that door with a signed deal or out that window, and we’re on the 29th floor”.

That said all I needed to know even without all the other rumours and Cathy White conspiracies etc.

No it has not. In the state of New York, the statute of limitations is when the victim turns 55 years old. This case has been filed in NY, and the alleged assault happened there too.

For survivors of sexual assault in New York who were under 18, and before the Child Victims Act (CVA) was passed on January 28, 2019, the statute of limitations expires when they turn 23. If the abuse or assault happened after the CVA was passed, the survivor has until they are 55 to file a claim.

This affects both Civil claims and criminal claims. Whether it gets persued as a criminal case it will be down to the local system - it's possible they went "We don't have the evidence for a slam dunk criminal case, so why don't you go civil"

Tinseltuttifruitti · 10/12/2024 11:05

@itgotweird Sinead O'Connor about the abuse within the Catholic Church, she was basically cancelled but time proved her right. Not saying the priests were celebrities but it's interesting how many of these conspiracy theories were proved right as you say.

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 10/12/2024 11:22

Apparently Pink is involved... I hope not. I like Pink.
