Jay-Z accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 along with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Jay-Z responded with a lengthy statement calling the allegations "idiotic." The accuser is anonymous.
He now has 100 problems

I'm glad that "rape" is in the headline. Too many try to sugar coat. "Sex with an underage...." etc.
We're only getting that because the accused are black.
No its because it's a he, it's usually "sex with a minor/student" if it's a woman perpetrator and rape if it's a man
I didn't expect Jay-Z to get roped into this. But he's a big time musician and they seem to have felt like they can get away with raping teenage groupies for many decades now.
Makes me wonder how BIG would fit into all of this if he was still alive. I'm thinking it wouldn't be good for him either.
Never meet your idols.
I seriously stopped being a fan of any public figure because people seeking public attention are mostly off-putting at least. Then come the narcissists and psychopaths, it gets only worse.Never meet your idols
Especially if you're a teenage girl
if Jay-z is your idol then you really have bigger problems lol
At least 99 of them
Or don't idolize idiots. Popstars and corporations washed the market so much that they are now accepted by the public as smart or cool. Not so many years ago everyone considered them trashy.
If your idol turns out to be a jerk in real life, is that their fault, or does it mean you’re just a bad judge of character? And I mean generally - not you in particular.
Personally, I’d be more than happy to meet my idols. I’ve listened to them speak for hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of hours on podcasts. Nobody can hide their true personality for that long. I’m confident I already have a pretty good idea of what they’re like in real life. That’s also why it’s so funny when non-listeners try to convince me that they know these people better than I do.
Why the fuck is everyone in the comments jumping to conclusions and already slamming Jay? Everything is alleged and the accuser is anonymous. Let there be a ruling by the judge then we can make conclusions no?
From the entertainer 50 cent.
"Jay in hibernation he ain’t coming outside till this shit with puff blow over, no brunch, no lunch, No dinner. LOL 😆"
Please let's stop pretending when you hang out with pedophiles on the regular that it is just happenstance.
I am sure Jay slept with less underage girls than others during Diddy parties. In fact, I heard he hardly did it more than anyone else. I would say he slept with children the least out of all the other pedophiles.
I'm not gonna slam, but it's disappointing to hear anyway. I never idolized him, but still thought he was a good dude.
How can you be disappointed when you don't even know if it's true?
I can actually explain why. Refraining from judgment causes the human brain to experience cognitive strain, so people tend to settle on a judgment even without evidence, in order to reduce the emotional stress caused by being undecided between two extreme possibilities. We feel insecure when we haven’t yet made a decision, because we are exposed to attacks from both sides. By aligning ourselves with one side, we gain allies and also gain the ability to disregard the humanity of our enemies. This is a universal weakness to human rationality, and lawyers are experts at exploiting it.
Replace Jay-Z with Trump and tell me if you feel the same.
You hang out with pedos, you get painted with the same brush.
Because he's a multi-Billionaire, and there is no ethical way of making a billion dollars, let alone multiple.
You know that clip from Office Space where the neighbor is asked what he would do with a million dollars and the answer is "two chicks at the same time"? What happens if you have 1000x that much money?
What happens if you have 1000x that much money?
4 chicks at the same time
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
Between this and Scientology, Millennials are going to have a tough time with Collision Course
You really should not think that well-known people ending up being terrible is a generational thing :/
I just said it would be hard to listen to the album
Emotions aside, this seems like abuse of the legal system.
First, the lawsuit itself could be filed with little supporting evidence. Second, the burden of proof in a civil lawsuit is significantly less than a criminal one.
I don't care for Jay Z, I don't listen to his music and he's got too much money, but this is borderline defamation in regards to the damage it will cause.
Trump's rape of E. Jean Carroll was uncovered in a civil suit.
O.J. Simpson's only punishment was via a civil suit.
Alex Jones got fined over a billion dollars for harassing the parents of dead children in a civil suit.
It's not abuse of the legal system, it's fighting abuse of the legal system. Trump, Simpson, Jones, Jay-Z... they can all buy themselves out of a criminal trial. A civil suit is a hell of a lot harder to get out of.
And I hate to tell you this if this wasn't your intention, but this is some real "women are lying gold diggers" territory.

Fuck off dude. The comment you replied to didn't say anything whatsoever about women. You're the only one being sexist here.
Filing a civil lawsuit 25 years later alleging a crime of this magnitude is extremely suspicious. Occam's razor dictates that it's very likely to be a cash grab.
Y'all are so incredibly biased, predictable and easily manipulated it's embarrassing. If it makes someone rich and powerful look bad, Lemmings will literally eat the steamiest piles of shit and call it a wholesome meal. And that's why the plaintiff knows they can possibly get a settlement out of this, because most people are absolute sheep and believe whatever gets shoved under their noses without a second thought, and Jay Z can afford to just pay to make it go away if he doesn't want to deal with the harassment from the "Guilty until proven innocent" mob.
That's the sort of posts about billionares you want to have on the frontpage
I've completely switched to vocaloid artists. I'm tired of feeding these undeserving humans careers, I'm throwing my money at music made by artists that are sung by a fictional character who won't ever be on trial for fucking a kid.
