According to reports, Jay-Z has amended his defamation lawsuit against controversial attorney Tony Buzbee and Jane Doe.
Now, the Hip-Hop mogul is claiming he lost hundreds of millions after he was accused of sexual assault.
Court documents obtained by reporter Meghann Cuniff show that the Roc Nation founder lost at least $190 million in income, credit, and loans due to the lawsuit filed by Tony Buzbee on behalf of Jane Doe. Doe accused Hov and Diddy of raping her in 2000, when she was 13 years old.
Furthermore, the revised complaint reveals that Jay “lost other contracts in the sports and entertainment space that would have generated revenues of, at least, $20 million,” which would have cost “many millions of dollars” more if the contract had been carried out.
Jay-Z was also denied a $55 million personal credit line, and his 50 percent-owned consumer company, Roc Nation was denied a $115 million loan.
“We have agreements to produce entertainment programs for certain sporting events,” the complaint says.
“After Mr. Buzbee filed the lawsuit, the media reported that other businesses could end their deals with Roc Nation, and forced one to speak out and address whether these false allegations would end our business relationship.”
Jay’s claims of financial fallout began surfacing just a week after the anonymous woman dropped her lawsuit in February.
Jay-Z amended his lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee and the woman who sued him for rape.
This is new:
“Buzbee directed employees to edit Wikipedia pages to enhance Buzbee’s image and damage Mr. Carter’s and Roc Nation’s reputations.” https://t.co/IPjJGmh0DY pic.twitter.com/3SEIljMNpD
