Jay-Z spoke out about the civil lawsuit accusing him and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000, making rare comments about his wife Beyoncé and their three children.
On December 8, the 55-year-old rapper addressed the allegations tied to a federal lawsuit originally filed in October, which initially named Combs as the defendant but was later amended to include Jay-Z.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Jay-Z expressed his concern over how the “heinous” allegations would affect his family, including his 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and 7-year-old twins Rumi and Sir. He acknowledged the challenge of explaining the situation to their children, particularly to Blue Ivy, who is at an age where her friends might see the media coverage and ask questions.
“My only heartbreak is for my family,” Jay-Z said. “My wife and I will have to sit our children down and explain the cruelty and greed of people.” He also mentioned mourning the loss of innocence in light of the allegations.
