Jay Z responds to allegations of rape of 13-year-old girl

Jay-Z has vehemently denied sexual abuse allegations made against him, which link him to his friend Sean “Diddy” Combs. The complaint, which involves a 13-year-old girl, alleges that the two rappers allegedly assaulted the minor while an unidentified female celebrity witnessed the events.

In an exclusive statement to Page Six, the singer called the lawsuit filed once again by attorney Tony Buzbee, a "blackmail attempt."

“My wife and I will have to talk to our children, one of whom is at an age where friends will probably see the press and ask questions about the nature of these allegations,” he said, referring to his daughter, Blue Ivy. “It is unfair to try to understand the inexplicable scale of malice that seeks to destroy families and the human spirit,” he added.
