Jay-Z is not backing down in his ongoing confrontation with attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing him of a calculated scheme to extort money through unfounded claims. Recent legal documents obtained by TMZ reveal that Buzbee sent two demand letters to Jay-Z in November 2024, one involving a Jane Doe who accused both Jay-Z and Diddy of assaulting her in 2000 when she was just 13, and another regarding a John Doe who alleged sexual assault by Jay-Z at a 2015 Beverly Hills party after being unknowingly drugged.
Jay-Z has firmly denied both allegations, labeling them as “false and ridiculous in every respect.” Following a significant legal victory, the lawsuit from Jane Doe was dismissed last Friday, while the John Doe claim never reached the courts. Jay-Z contends that Buzbee’s actions are nothing more than extortion attempts designed to coerce a financial settlement in exchange for silence.
Adding to the drama, Jay-Z claims Buzbee strategically timed the Jane Doe lawsuit to overshadow his daughter Blue Ivy’s Hollywood debut at the Lion King prequel premiere, leaving him with the difficult choice of either avoiding the media frenzy or supporting his daughter. Ultimately, he attended the event with Beyoncé and Blue Ivy, choosing to skip press interviews.
Despite the dismissal of the Jane Doe suit, Jay-Z remains resolute in his fight against Buzbee, having initially filed an anonymous lawsuit against the attorney in November, later revealing his identity and accusing him of extortion. Buzbee has dismissed Jay-Z’s claims as frivolous, but the rapper shows no signs of backing down, determined to protect his reputation, career, and family amid the turmoil. As the legal battle rages on, both sides are bracing for what comes next.
