Jay-Z Drops Brawl With Alleged Raped Teen’s Lawyer; Takes New Swing At Dismissal Of Sean “Diddy” Combs Co-Defendant Case

In the lull between the Beyoncé dominated Grammys of February 2 and Kendrick Lamar‘s Roc Nation produced half time show at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, Jay-Z is making some shifts in strategy in the hopes of getting tossed out claims that the Big Pimpin rapper, the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs and a currently unidentified female “Celebrity B” repeatedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

As anticipated by the December 30 letter that Alex Spiro, the long time lawyer for Shawn Carter (Jay-Z’s real name), sent to Judge Analisa Torres, February 4 saw a formal motion to dismiss the first amended complaint by the Tony Buzbee represented Jane Doe.

If that effort to see the festering matter kicked to the curb wasn’t much of a surprise, what came today certainly was. “We write on behalf of Defendant Shawn Carter to respectfully request that Mr.

Carter’s Motion for Sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 be withdrawn at this time, without prejudice,” declared a one-page letter from the Quinn Emanuel partner to Judge Torres this morning over the Texas-based Buzbee. “We have discussed this matter with counsel for Plaintiff who consents to this submission and agrees the withdrawal is without prejudice,” the short correspondence adds, noting that the barrage against Buzbee, who represents dozens and dozens of clients in civil cases accusing the much accused Combs of rape, battery, abuse and more in decades of so-called freak-offs and attacks.
