Iconic rapper and businessman Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, may be facing a fresh legal battle as his company Roc Nation is currently embroiled in a bribery scandal.
International media reports reveal that Jay-Z’s Roc Nation has been sued by the attorney representing the artist’s rape accuser, Tony Buzbee over alleged bribes.
Roc Nation and Jay-Z’s legal team have been accused of soliciting clients to bring cases against Buzbee.
Per a Deadline report, the lawsuit claims that both parties “conspired to obstruct justice by engaging shadowy operatives to illegally seek out more than two dozen current and former clients of The Buzbee Law Firm to convince those clients to bring frivolous cases against The Buzbee Law Firm”.
Buzbee also claims that his clients were approached by people who “pretend to work for the State of Texas” who have “flashed fake badges”.
Speaking further, the attorney alleged that he has audio proof of clients being offered payment of $10,000 and above to take action against him.
Buzbee added that the incidents started happening after he sent a demand letter to Jay-Z’s lawyers in November.
Denying the allegations in a statement, Roc Nation said: “Tony Buzbee’s baloney lawsuit against Roc Nation is nothing but another sham.
“It’s a pathetic attempt to distract and deflect attention. This sideshow won’t change the ultimate outcome and true justice will be served soon.”
