The sexual scandal involving Diddy has been heating up global media for several months. The 55-year-old has been accused of various crimes. He remains in custody, awaiting a trial that is scheduled for May 2025.
As reported in October, as many as 120 people have filed 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 that have been directed against Diddy. His solicitor, 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 solicitor 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 solicitor.
Do you believe his assurances?
