Jay-Z was also named in one of the lawsuits for participating in an alleged assault.

The allegation comes after a decades-long, public friendship between the two rappers, beginning in the 1990s.

Diddy and Jay-Z became close in the years after their good friend Biggie Smalls was murdered in 1997.

Jay-Z has shared similar messages of support over the years.

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.

However, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, has a different story.

He stated that while Jay-Z and Diddy know each other professionally, their relationship does not go beyond that.

“There is no friendship or longtime bond here,” he said.

ConsideringDiddy’s new home behind bars, creating some distance may beJay-Z’s best defense in this disturbing lawsuit.
