Jay‑Z distances himself amid Diddy scandal allegations
Jay-Z distances himself from P. Diddy following countless accusations. In a specially issued statement, the rapper's lawyer, Alex Spiro, emphasizes that the artist has no connections to these charges.
The sexual scandal involving Diddy has been capturing global media attention for several months. The 55-year-old has been accused of various crimes. He remains in custody, awaiting a trial scheduled for May 2025.
As reported in October, up to 120 people have filed sexual assault charges against the man. Moreover, the list of the rapper's potential victims continues to grow. Information about more potential victims who have decided to seek justice in court continues to reach the media.
Now, the case involves Shawn Carter, also known as Jay-Z. The rapper strongly distances himself from the allegations directed against Diddy. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, stated in an official declaration that the rapper has no connection to the charges, despite previous professional relations with Diddy. The accusations surfaced following a lawsuit filed by Jane Doe, who claims the incident occurred after the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. In December, the lawsuit was updated, naming Jay-Z as the second man allegedly involved. Beyoncé's husband denies these allegations, asserting that the accuser's lawyer attempted to blackmail him.
Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs’ case or Mr. Combs. They knew each other professionally for a number of years. Just like in all professions, people know each other. At the music awards, they support each other. If you go to the NBA All-Star game, they support each other. That’s just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them. That’s also a matter of fiction - explained the rapper’s lawyer.
