The consequences of Diddy’s freakoffs are bigger than rap, but there may have been some other prominent rappers involve. On Sunday, a civil suit accused Jay-Z of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl with Diddy in back in 2000.
NPR has coverage:
The anonymous plaintiff, identified as “Jane Doe,” said the assault took place at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.

Tony Buzbee, the Texas attorney who filed the complaint, has filed several lawsuits against Combs in recent months accusing the hip-hop mogul of physical assault and rape. Buzbee’s lawsuit accused Carter of filing his own lawsuit against Buzbee, which Buzbee called “frivolous.”
While Jay-Z has yet to come forward as the anonymous public figure that accused Buzbee of extortion, Jay-Z’s public response to the allegations track with what was written in the complaint:
“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!” he said. “Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”
“My only heartbreak is for my family,” Carter added. “My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people. I mourn yet another loss of innocence.”
No question that explaining the nature of the suit will be a challenge, but the upside is that he isn’t alone. It appears that Tina Knowles –Beyonce’s mother — is informed enough on the issue to like posts on Instagram involving the suit:
Nobody wins when the family feuds.
