Jay-Z is done staying quiet. In a fiery new court filing, he ripped into his anonymous rape accuser for what he calls a “shocking and reckless disregard for the truth.”
Despite the accuser voluntarily dismissing her sexual assault lawsuit against him back in February, she’s allegedly kept going, most recently posting a defiant TikTok on April 11, saying, “You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to get an apology video out of me… I stand on what I said.”
Jay-Z’s updated lawsuit accuses the woman and her legal team of malicious prosecution and defamation. He says she flat-out lied and continues to double down, even after all evidence and her own admissions proved otherwise. The amended complaint puts it bluntly: she “never had any reasonable grounds” and acted with full awareness of the damage she was causing.
And it’s not just about her. Jay-Z is also coming for her lawyer Tony Buzbee, accusing him of orchestrating shady Wikipedia edits. According to the filing, IP addresses linked to Buzbee’s firm made more than 100 edits to boost his own page and tarnish Jay-Z’s and Roc Nation’s. That’s one way to rewrite history.
The filing also slams the opposing team’s claim that Jay hasn’t shown enough injury to sue. They argued that missing out on a $20 million deal wasn’t concrete enough. But Jay isn’t buying it. He clarified that the $20 million was just the “minimum fee guarantee” of a larger, unnamed contract, saying the actual total would’ve been way higher had it gone through. On top of that, he says the accusation cost him a $55 million personal credit line and stopped Roc Nation from securing a $115 million loan.
It’s clear he’s arguing that the false claims didn’t just hurt his reputation, they wrecked real financial opportunities. Since he owns half of Roc Nation, he says the damage hit both personally and professionally.
As for Buzbee’s reaction? He brushed the whole case off as “meritless” and dismissed the Wikipedia claim as “incredibly weak” and a first for him.
Whether or not the court agrees, Jay-Z is making it known, he’s not walking away quietly, and he’s ready to make this legal fight just as public as the accusation that started it all.
