Tony Buzbee’s Lawsuit Was An Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress – Jay-Z

Popular rapper, Jay-Z has taken legal action against Texas-based attorney, Tony Buzbee.

He recently accused him of defamation, civil extortion, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the false allegations strategically filed the night before his daughter Blue Ivy’s highly anticipated Mufasa: The Lion King movie premiere actually resulted in severe personal and financial damage, including the loss of $20 million in business contracts.

He added that the frivolous, fictitious, and appalling allegations have now been dismissed, and the lawsuit was never going anywhere.

His words, “The frivolous, fictitious, and appalling allegations have been dismissed. The lawsuit was without merit and never going anywhere.

I felt that Mr. Buzbee was placing a gun to my head—that I either bow to his demands or endure personal and financial ruin.”

WOW.

Shawn Corey Carter (born December 4, 1969), known professionally as Jay-Z, is an American rapper, businessman, and record executive. Rooted in East Coast hip-hop, he was named the greatest rapper of all time by Billboard and Vibe in 2023.

Known for his complex lyrical ability—which often uses double entendres and word play—and braggadocio, his music is built upon a rags to riches narrative. He served as president and chief executive officer of Def Jam Recordings from 2004 to 2007, and founded the entertainment company Roc Nation the following year.

Shawn Corey Carter was born on December 4, 1969, in Brooklyn, New York City. He was raised in Marcy Houses, a public housing project in Brooklyn’s Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood.

His father, Adnis Reeves, abandoned the family when Jay-Z was 11 years old, and Jay-Z and his three older siblings were raised by his mother, Gloria Carter. Reeves later met and reconciled with Jay-Z prior to his death in 2003.
