Jay-Z Accuses Attorney Tony Buzbee of Extortion in Lawsuit

Rapper Jay-Z has filed a lawsuit against Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing him of extortion over two baseless allegations. Buzbee sent demand letters in November 2024, one involving a Jane Doe who claimed Jay-Z and Diddy assaulted her when she was 13, and another regarding a John Doe who alleged Jay-Z sexually assaulted him after being drugged at a 2015 party. Both claims have been vehemently denied by Jay-Z, who calls them 'false and ridiculous,' and the Jane Doe lawsuit was dismissed recently. Jay-Z argues that Buzbee's actions constitute a calculated attempt to extract money in exchange for silence, which he likens to blackmail. He also claims the timing of the allegations was intended to overshadow his daughter Blue Ivy's Hollywood debut, forcing him into a difficult public position. Despite Buzbee's attempts to dismiss the lawsuit, Jay-Z remains committed to fighting the case in court to protect his reputation and legacy.
