Jay-Z has filed a defamation lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee, claiming a rape lawsuit cost him $20 million and was deliberately timed to inflict maximum harm.

A lawsuit claiming that JAY-Z raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000 has been legally dismissed.

Texas attorney Tony Buzbee has filed more than a dozen individual cases of abuse against Sean Combs, and one against Jay-Z.

Jay-Z has declared “victory” after a Diddy lawsuit that also accused him of rape was dismissed by the women who filed it. However, he said, the trauma his family have endured since he was named as a co-defendant can’t be dismissed,

An Alabama woman who said she was raped by Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs when she was 13 has withdrawn her civil lawsuit.

Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represented the Jane Doe accuser, declined to comment on the case’s dismissal. Buzbee has been at the forefront of multiple lawsuits targeting Combs, filing numerous sexual assault claims against the hip-hop mogul in recent months.

Jay-Z has spoken out in court about feeling like he had a "gun to his head" because of the now-dismissed lawsuit that attorney Tony Buzbee filed against him. The rap legend filed a declaration on Feb.

The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed,” Jay-Z said in a statement.
