Tony Buzbee, a Houston lawyer, is spearheading a lawsuit against well-known musician and businessman Jay-Z, who is charged in court filings with drugging and sexually abusing a youngster in 2000.
Months after Buzbee declared he would defend hundreds of victims of sexual assault in court actions against rapper Sean Diddy Combs, who has been federally arrested for suspected sex trafficking, the latest lawsuit against Jay-Z, whose actual name is Shawn Carter, was made public.

In court records filed by a Jane Doe Sunday, Carter and Combs are charged with drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl at an after-party after the 2000 Video Music Awards ceremony, as first reported by NBC News.
The case, which was filed in the Southern District Court of New York, claims that another famous person did nothing to stop Combs and Carter from abusing the kid while they took turns doing it.
Carter backed up the horrific claims made in the lawsuit with a social media message urging Buzbee to file a criminal complaint rather than a civil one.
According to Carter, a lawyer named Tony Buzbee sent a demand letter—a kind of blackmail—to my lawyers. He had anticipated that I would want to settle because of the gravity of these accusations and the public scrutiny. No, sir, it did the exact opposite.
Carter claimed that Buzbee had made the grave mistake of assuming that all superstars are the same and appeared to take advantage of others for his own benefit.
Carter claimed that only your network of conspiracy theorists and false physicists would accept the ridiculous accusations you have made about me, which would be absurd if not for the seriousness of the danger to children.
First, Carter received a letter from the anonymous woman’s attorneys detailing the accusations and asking for a mediation to settle the dispute. Carter allegedly filed his own case against Buzbee based on baseless accusations, according to court documents released on Sunday.
In order to prevent the plaintiff from mentioning Jay-Z in this case, the lawsuit claims that Carter also planned a conspiracy of harassment, bullying, and intimidation against the plaintiff’s attorneys, their families, staff, and previous associates.
An anonymous complaint accusing Buzbee of extorting prominent people was filed against the attorney in Los Angeles just last month.
Buzbee said in a statement on X that Carter had denied bringing the lawsuit against him and his legal practice in the past.
“My firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim, and that victim never demanded a penny from him,” Buzbee added, omitting to include this in his recent statement.
According to Buzbee, she just requested a private mediation.
