Jay-Z Says He Felt ‘Uncontrollable Anger’ Over 2024 Rape Lawsuit Allegations
HuffPost
“You don’t put that on someone—that’s a thing that you better be super sure,” the rap mogul told GQ.
In a new GQ interview, Jay-Z said he was heartbroken and angry after a woman alleged in a since-dismissed 2024 civil lawsuit that he and fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs had raped her when she was 13.
“It was hard. Really hard. … Like I was really heartbroken by everything that occurred,” the music mogul told GQ in a story published Tuesday.
Referring to the lawsuit, he said, “that shit took a lot out of me. I was angry. I haven’t been that angry in a long time, uncontrollable anger.”
“You don’t put that on someone—that’s a thing that you better be super sure,” he said. “It used to be like that. You had to be super sure before you put those kind of things on a person. Especially a person like me.”
In late 2024, a woman identified only as Jane Doe alleged that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Combs had raped her in New York City after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards while an unnamed female celebrity watched.
Amy Duggar King said she is “utterly shocked,” but “at the same time, not surprised."
