As of Sunday, December 8th, it has been revealed that Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter, is part of a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The rapper and producer is accused of raping a thirteen-year-old girl at one of Diddy’s parties in 2000. As soon as the accusation from the lawsuit spread, rap colleagues reacted to the allegations against the 55-year-old.
“If you’re a celebrity, you’re a target.”
One of the celebrities who spoke out about the new developments was “Kiss Me Through The Phone” rapper Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way. He said via Instagram Live, among other things: “They will try to bring you down. They don’t want us to win. They don’t want us to have this money. If you’re in the rap industry… If you’re a celebrity, you’re a target.” His statement suggests that the musician is siding with the defendant and defending him.
Jay-Z himself also portrayed himself as a victim in his statement and continued to claim that the plaintiff’s lawyer was trying to blackmail him. He also firmly denied the allegations of abuse against him.
He also gets support from musician Meek Mill, aka Robert Rihmeek Williams. On to create. If you can control the storyline, you can control the Matrix…. The American media is completely unbelievable! I see ‘Jayz’ _____ a 13 year old girl scrolling 300 times, that’s called programming,” the 37-year-old wrote on the platform. The comments under this post show little understanding of Mill’s thinking. One user commented: “The goal is to stop child sex trafficking and the rape of innocent children. I’m sure you think ‘Lube Diddy’ is innocent too. You’re on the list for that answer you posted!”
Meek Mill’s post on X:
The goal is to start false narrative to create a matrix web…. If you can control the story line you can control the matrix…. American media is totally unbelievable! I see “Jayz” _____ a 13 year old girl 300 times scrolling it’s called programming

Rapper 50 Cent also made sure to comment on the developments in this case. In a rather mocking manner, he revealed his concerns about the Super Bowl halftime show on X: “OK, I don’t know what’s going on, but will we still have the Super Bowl?” 😟I’m asking for a friend.” Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation has played a key role in putting together the Super Bowl halftime entertainment since 2020.
