Jay-Z Fires Back at Attorney Tony Buzbee with New Allegations

Jay-Z and high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee are locked in an escalating legal battle, and it’s far from over.

The feud, which began with Buzbee filing a sexual assault lawsuit against Jay-Z and Diddy on behalf of an unnamed client, has taken a darker turn. Jay-Z is now not only accusing Buzbee of extortion but also adding defamation to the list of claims in a recent court filing, obtained by Rolling Stone.

The initial extortion allegation stems from what Jay-Z’s legal team describes as veiled threats to tarnish his reputation if he didn’t pay up. Court documents paint a stark picture: “Viewed in the context of Buzbee’s prior statements threatening to file criminal complaints against, and publicly shame, a ‘long list’ of celebrities, the message in the Extortion Demands was clear: pay up, or face a criminal investigation and extraordinary reputational harm.”

Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, didn’t mince words in this latest legal salvo. “Defendants placed a gun to Mr. Carter’s head,” the filing reads. “They were demanding that Mr. Carter either: (a) pay ‘something of substance’ to stop Defendants from making public the wildly false allegations of sexual assault that would subject Mr. Carter to opprobrium and irreparably harm his reputation, family, career and livelihood, or (b) endure that financial and personal ruin.”

Buzbee, however, is standing firm and denying the accusations. The attorney hit back in a statement, saying, “The new claim is patently frivolous and will be dismissed. I’ve never said a word about him. This is just another attempt to bully and intimidate me. It just won’t work.”

This battle is turning into a high-stakes legal chess match with no clear resolution in sight. As the accusations fly, the public and legal experts alike are left wondering just how far this will go.
