Tony Buzbee, a Texas attorney who has represented dozens of P. Diddy’s victims over the past few months, shocked the public with his latest civil lawsuit against the famous rapper Jay-Z. Tony Buzbee referred to the rapper as a close friend & collaborator of P. Diddy.
In his lawsuit, he claims that the victim was forced to sign a confidentiality agreement and was given a drink that made him feel dizzy. Then the two took turns attacking the victim. "Another celebrity stood by and watched as P. Diddy & Jay-Z took turns attacking a minor. Many others present at the party did nothing to stop the assault," the lawsuit states.

The rapper responded to the allegations by strongly denying them and calling the lawsuit a "extortion attempt" aimed at resolving the case with money. Jay-Z also referred to Buzbee's lawyer as a fraud and a pathetic human being. "You made a big mistake in assuming all celebrities are the same. I am not from your world," he said.
Jay-Z also expressed that he does not operate in the same sphere as P. Diddy and acknowledged that he always protects the children, considering that he also has 3 kids with Beyonce. "We don’t play games like that. We have very strict rules and honor. We protect the children; you seem to exploit people for personal gain," said Jay-Z.
