Jay-Z’s lawyer dismissed the allegation that the hip-hop mogul raped a 13-year-old girl nearly 25 years ago as not credible, while highlighting it. increasing number of anomalies Which have come to light since the case was filed.
“Obviously, Jay-Z did not rape any child,” Carter’s attorney Alex Spiro told reporters at the “99 Problems” rapper’s Roc Nation headquarters in Midtown Manhattan on Monday afternoon.
they called suit nothing more than an attempt to shake off Against the rapper, who has a net worth of more than $2.5 billion, according to Forbes.
“There is no specific number that has been demanded. Such people do not send demand letter if they do not get the money. That’s all they want,” he said.
“The request was to sit down and talk about how to resolve this matter and we all know what that means.”
Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter vehemently denied any wrongdoing After the allegations came to light, he drugged the girl and sexually assaulted her. Disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs Court documents state that an unnamed “female celebrity” was seen in September 2000.
The alleged attack took place at a drug-filled party after the MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City that year.
Spiro began by playing footage from a recent NBC News report focused on the allegations before systematically dissecting the claims made on TV and the complaint filed in court against the rap icon.
Criticizing the complainant’s attorney Tony Buzbee, he asserted that the location of the alleged rape does not exist, key eyewitnesses do not exist, the timeline does not work, and the story is littered with unreliable details.
“According to her complaint, about 20 minutes later she arrived at a white house with a U-shaped driveway and a gate,” Spiro said.
“There’s no place like it in New York that’s 20 minutes from Radio City. It doesn’t exist, there’s no such place,” he added.
“We don’t know whether they created a location to try to get jurisdiction in New York so they could bring this case to New York, or they just didn’t do their homework. Any New Yorker knows there’s no such place.”
He pointed out that the lawsuit states that the house where the party took place was owned by Combs, but in fact no property in the star’s real estate portfolio matched the alleged description.
“The location doesn’t work, because nothing happened.”
Spiro also rejected the notion that a female celebrity would witness such a horrific crime and never say a word about it to anyone.
“In 24 years, not a single witness has come forward to say that this happened,” Spiro told reporters.
“She said she was alone at this party, a 13-year-old girl, and she found herself in the room with the three most famous people at the party. Just think how much that reduces common sense,” he added.
“And according to them, one of the witnesses is a female celebrity who is standing there watching the repeated rape of a child. That celebrity does nothing, says nothing, reports nothing. They won’t even recognize (the celebrity).”
Spiro also pointed to the alleged victim’s claims that she had talked to Good Charlotte guitarist and backup singer Benji Madden at the afterparty, which he said was not possible given the band’s touring schedule.
“Mr. Madden was not there. He has already said he was not there. His tour itinerary says he was not there. None of this ever happened,” Spiro repeated.
Carter himself has been vocal in emphasizing that the allegations against him are baseless,
Jay-Z criticized the alleged victim and Buzbee in a statement, saying, “This incident didn’t happen and yet they filed it in court and doubled down on it in the press, alleging that they had committed crimes against him.” Had filed a “false complaint”.
“True justice is coming. We fight to win, not to win. It was over before it even started. This 1-800 lawyer doesn’t realize it yet, but, soon.”
Asked by The Post how Carter was feeling, Spiro described the “Empire State of Mind” rapper, who has three children with wife Beyoncé, as “upset.”
“He is angry that someone would be allowed to do this and make a mockery of the system like this. He is concerned that this distracts real victims and discourages them from coming forward. He’s upset that his kids and his family are having to deal with this,” Spiro said.
“He’s upset and he should be upset.”
