Jay-Z Adds Defamation Claim to Extortion Lawsuit Against 13-Year-Old Accuser’s Lawyer

Jay-Z added a defamation claim to his extortion lawsuit against Tony Buzbee, who represents a 13-year-old accuser against the Roc Nation founder

The Roc Nation mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, vehemently denied the Jane Doe’s “heinous” accusation and his high-powered attorney Alex Spiro laid out a defense that highlighted inconsistencies in the woman’s complaint. While Carter’s team fights to dismiss the woman’s case in New York, the rapper has directed his furor at Buzbee, a media-savvy, national trial attorney who positioned himself at the center of the civil litigation against Combs. Last Friday, Carter’s lawyers added a defamation claim to the lawsuit, revealing more details about the demand letter and taking aim at Buzbee’s reputation, according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone.
