According to various reports, Jay-Z’s lawyer claims that the allegations of rape against the rapper are “clearly false” and that several individuals are ready to testify against the claims.

Alex Spiro addressed the media at Roc Nation’s New York offices on Monday, providing evidence which, he asserts, will support his argument that Jane Doe’s narrative is flawed and could not possibly have happened.

Spiro stated, “This isn’t about truth and justice,” as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. “This is purely about financial gain.”

On December 8, fresh allegations were made in a revised lawsuit claiming that Jay-Z, alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs, sexually assaulted a teenage girl at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Originally filed in October on behalf of an unnamed woman from Alabama, the lawsuit alleges that both artists drugged and assaulted her while another unidentified female celebrity observed.

YSL News has reached out to representatives for Jay-Z and Roc Nation for their response.

Jay-Z has strongly denied the allegations and submitted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on December 9, labeling it a “blackmail attempt” by attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing Jane Doe.

Jay-Z’s lawyer highlights contradictions in accuser’s allegations

In a recent interview with NBC News, the woman admitted she had “made some errors” in recalling the events of that night. While she reaffirmed her allegations, her father’s account contradicted her earlier statements about him picking her up from the after-party.

Spiro remarked to reporters, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter, “These inconsistencies are significant. The timelines do not allow for this incident to have occurred.”

He further clarified, “When a person fabricates a story, whether on purpose or due to memory issues, they might get the main point right, but the details will always be incorrect. If an event didn’t occur, the particulars will likely be wrong because the person wasn’t actually there. This simply could not have happened because it did not happen.”

Spiro also shared a six-minute clip from the NBC News interview featuring Jane Doe and stated that her lawyer, Buzbee, “constructed this storyline.” He believes the case should be dismissed, asserting that “if it doesn’t get dismissed, it will disintegrate.”

Jay-Z’s lawyer voices rapper’s frustration over allegations

Spiro conveyed that Jay-Z is “upset that someone would be permitted to do this.”

“He is concerned that this may discourage genuine victims from coming forward,” the attorney continued, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “He is troubled that his family and children have to face this situation. And rightly so.”

As reported by Us Weekly, Spiro mentioned that “numerous individuals” are prepared to testify against the allegations directed at Jay-Z.

Meanwhile, the accuser also claimed she had a conversation with an unnamed celebrity at the after-party; however, that celebrity allegedly denies being in New York during the time in question, as reported by NBC. Furthermore, photos reveal both rappers at a different venue than what Jane Doe described in her account.

Buzbee, who represents several other victims against Combs, stated to Us Weekly on Monday that “this client was referred to our firm by another law firm. That firm prepared the initial complaint.”

“However, four individuals from our firm have also conducted interviews with the client and verified details after receiving the referral.

“A thorough check was performed on the client,” Buzbee informed Us Weekly. “We even brought in an experienced investigator to verify some of the details she shared with us, and the findings matched what our client had previously explained.”

Buzbee additionally told Us Weekly that his firm reached out to Jay-Z and Spiro with a proposal to “meet and discuss the allegations privately.” Instead of accepting, “Mr. Spiro opted to file a public lawsuit, personally accusing me of extortion. He did this knowing that we never made any demands for money, and he publicized the claim.”

These accusations against Jay-Z arise during a tumultuous period for Combs, who was taken into custody in September facing serious charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and using transportation for prostitution. The troubled hip-hop mogul is currently being held in the Special Housing Unit at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while awaiting his trial set for May 5.

Lawyer asserts Jay-Z is uninvolved with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ situation

On Monday, Spiro responded to inquiries from the press regarding Jay-Z’s connection to Combs.

“Mr. Carter is not associated with Mr. Combs’ case in any manner, nor is he involved with Mr. Combs personally. They’ve had a professional acquaintance over the years, as is common in many fields. They support each other during music awards and events like the NBA All-Star Game; that’s simply how these industries operate. Their relationship is not any closer than that — it’s merely a fictional notion,” Spiro stated, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. “He has no knowledge of the charges or accusations made against him,” he continued. “He is completely uninvolved with that case, and there’s nothing more to add.”
