“Jay-Z Would Absolutely Throw Diddy Under the Bus”: Insider Claims Amid Lawsuit Allegations
Jay-Z appears to be distancing himself from longtime friend Sean “Diddy” Combs as sexual abuse allegations swirl. According to Mail Online, an insider suggests the rapper and business mogul is taking steps to protect his image amid serious accusations.
Recently, an anonymous woman accused Jay-Z and Combs of raping her in 2000 during an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards. While Combs faces multiple legal challenges, including charges of racketeering and human trafficking, sources claim Jay-Z is strategizing to shield himself from similar fallout.
“Jay-Z would absolutely throw Diddy under the bus if that is what it took to clear his name and walk away from this. He has zero loyalty to Diddy,” the insider alleged.
Reports indicate that Jay-Z began distancing himself from Combs after the latter’s arrest in September. “The moment Diddy was arrested, Jay-Z scrubbed him from his existence. He is going after [lawyer Tony] Buzbee for himself and not for anyone else,” the source said, referring to the high-profile attorney representing Combs.
The tipster added, “The only thing that he cares about is him never stepping foot inside a jail cell and his family being safe. Jay-Z is extremely powerful and will deploy any tactic necessary.”
These claims surfaced a week after Jay-Z’s legal representative addressed his association with Combs. On December 16, during a press conference at Roc Nation’s New York headquarters, attorney Alex Spiro publicly denied close ties between the two rappers, emphasizing that Jay-Z’s reputation should remain untarnished.
Amid the ongoing allegations, the rapper, known for his carefully curated public image, seems intent on preserving his status as a cultural icon and protecting his family.
While neither Jay-Z nor Combs has directly addressed the accusations, these developments add a new layer of complexity to their decades-long relationship and raise questions about loyalty and self-preservation in the face of legal scrutiny.
As the case unfolds, the entertainment world watches closely to see how the allegations and public response will impact these two influential figures. For now, Jay-Z seems focused on ensuring he avoids any association that could damage his reputation or jeopardize his freedom.
