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.

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,

Jay-Z is going out of his way to expose Tony Buzbee's attempts to get large sums of money from him over 2 different allegations -- one of which was just dismissed, and the other never even ended up in court.

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.
