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."

According the lawsuit, this girl was picked up off the street by diddys driver so she wasn't exactly moving in those circles. She was outside radio city music hall in New York trying to see if she could spot any celebs after the music awards

I care. And surely you'll be aware there is a case due imminently against a man accused of Tupacs murder?

I care also this is depressing reading.

I wonder how much coverage this will get in the media here and in the US? I guess it is an important story but editors of larger media companies will have to consider this may be an attempt to at least smear incredibly important black artists and their may be a reluctance to over pursue or highlight the story until more details are known.

Jay a and Beyonce are now faces by a PR nightmare and even if the case fails the revelation of evidence in public will still be extremely damaging. Settling now may even be too late to stop terminal reputational damage.

I think Beyonce will file for divorce as a career saver just to try and get distance from this thing.

Personally I don't believe it is a smear attempt

But Johnny Depp happened

However I don't think news and media companies control the narrative anymore in the same way- since YouTube, X etc - anyone can be a journalist and report what is happening

Cancel culture won't help the innocent artists and musicians who have worked with or are owned by these or the victims

It's already making big money for content creators- regardless what the news says the algorithms will be spreading it these days

Are we really surprised that he is involved?
I'm surprised it's taken this long after Jaguar Wright's comments in October.

Pretty much groomed Beyonce from 16 years old.
He's even said in his own words that when she was 16 that she would be his.

There will be a lot more to fall out if this

Like Elvis & Pricilla, Prince & Mayte...

Oh come on, he wasn't an innocent party

I didn’t realise Beyonces ‘If I was a boy’ was a cover?? Of who?

What kind of woman is in the room whilst a 13 year old gets raped? Wtf

I was thinking this too ! Apparently another celebrity and it's been assumed it was jlo. I don't believe that, she has daughters now too

It doesn’t look that straightforward now amp.theguardian.com/music/2024/dec/14/jay-z-sean-diddy-combs-accuser-inconsistencies-claims

They've clearly done a ton of work and investigation with Sean Combs and have a strong and pretty far ranging case against him. The fact he was so close to Jay-Z while behaving in such a predatory way rings alarms bells but if these investigations had thrown up anything significant you'd think he'd be in the same position as SC is now. The fact he hasn't been charged with or accused of anything other than this would suggest none of these investigations found anything solid against him, unless they're still working on it. I don't know what that means for this accuser and her chances of winning any sort of case against him.
