Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) claimed this lawyer Tony Buzbee A “blackmail campaign” was organized against him for several months.
“That campaign was cynical and designed to force the defendant to pay an exorbitant sum of money — the defendant would have to pay X millions of dollars regardless of the truth, or else,” the document said. “When the defendant refused to plead and instead took action to prove his innocence, this unnamed plaintiff and her self-promoting attorney (whose name appeared in headlines and in press conferences under the auspices of her representation) went to extraordinary lengths to close down a fair defense.”
The rapper claimed that Buzbee “made baseless accusations” against him while he was “hiding behind the alias 'Jane Doe.'
“These allegations are not about justice for victims. Nor are they about giving victims of sexual violence a voice. “Instead, they are just the next chapter in Attorney Buzbee’s sprawling racketeering saga — a saga whose goal is so vile and measured in dollars.”
Jay-Z asked the court to reject the plaintiff's request and asked the court to “immediately” reveal her identity to the public.
Buzbee responded to Jay-Z's firing on Monday, saying: we In a statement, “Sending a basic litigation demand letter and then filing a lawsuit is not extortion or extortion. This is legal practice.

Children should not have to endure such at a young age. It is unfair to try to understand the inexplicable degrees of malice that aim to destroy families and the human spirit.
Jay-Z also responded to Buzbee, writing: “It sounds like you are exploiting people for personal gain.

“I have no idea how you became such a miserable human being, Mr. Buzbee, but I promise I've seen people like you many times,” the Grammy winner wrote. “I am more than prepared to deal with your kind. You claim to be a Marine?! Marines are known for their bravery, you have neither honor nor dignity.”
Buzbee said TMZ In a statement on Sunday, the woman who accused Jay-Z of rape “did not ask him for a dime.”
