Attorney Tony Buzbee Sues Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Over Alleged Conspiracy to ‘Obstruct Justice’


Jay-Z's Roc Nation was sued by lawyer Tony Buzbee over an alleged obstruction conspiracy, claiming an effort to derail his rape case against the star.

The filings came less than two weeks after Buzbee launched a lawsuit accusing the star (real name Shawn Carter) of raping an unnamed 13-year-old girl in 2000 alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs — a shocking allegation against one of the music industry’s most powerful figures. In her own statement, Croft offered a similar reaction: “Tony Buzbee has now conjured up fantastical allegations against me and my firm — well-known corruption fighters — in a desperate attempt to distract from his mounting legal woes. In addition to seeking to dismiss the case, Wednesday’s filing warned that Buzbee might destroy evidence of such missteps and demanded a court order prohibiting him from doing so.
