Jay-Z says lawsuit accusing him of raping a child at awards after-party is part of an extortion ploy
Briefly

Jay-Z has labeled the allegations against him as part of an extortion attempt tied to a legal case against Sean Diddy Combs, who awaits trial on sex trafficking charges. He vehemently denies participating in any wrongdoing, describing the claims as 'idiotic and heinous' and asserting that the allegations originate from attempts by the plaintiff's lawyer to blackmail him into a settlement. Jay-Z has taken legal action against the attorney, aiming to expose 'the fraud' he believes is behind the claims.
In his vehement response, Jay-Z referred to a letter from the woman's attorney that attempted to negotiate a settlement. He expressed unequivocally his refusal to pay any amount, saying, 'So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!' This emphatic statement underscores his commitment to fighting the allegations vigorously in court rather than settling out of court. Jay-Z's actions reflect a broader context of ongoing legal battles in the hip-hop industry regarding serious allegations of sexual misconduct.
