The identity of the female celebrity who is said to have witnessed Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly assault a 13-year-old girl remains a mystery. The incident reportedly took place at an after party following the 2000 VMAs, where the unnamed "Celebrity B" was present. The original lawsuit claimed that Combs raped the young girl while two unidentified individuals, referred to as "Celebrity A" and "Celebrity B," observed. In a recent update to the lawsuit filed in New York,...

Mystery surrounds a female celebrity who is alleged to have watched rappers Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z rape a 13-year-old girl. The female celebrity is not named in an amended lawsuit, which was filed in New York federal court on Sunday. The alleged victim says that she instantly recognized the female celebrity when she came into the room with Combs and Jay-Z, a Grammy-award winning rapper whose real name is Shawn Carter. Carter strongly denies the allegations. The accuser claims she was sexually assaulted by the two rappers at an after-show party following the Video Music Awards in 2000. The...

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday the league’s partnership with Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z, is “not changing” amid the civil lawsuit accusing Jay-Z of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused Sunday in a lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 along with Sean “Diddy” Combs. “We are aware of the civil allegations and Jay Z’s really strong response to that," Goodell said at a news conference after a league meeting in Irving, Texas. "We know, obviously, that litigation is happening. But from our standpoint,...

Jay-Z, the star rapper and entrepreneur whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a civil lawsuit on Sunday of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 allegedly along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, NBC News exclusively reported. The anonymous accuser, identified only as “Jane Doe,” said the assault happened after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty

Where the heck was Beyoncé?! We were promised a diva but had to settle for the poor woman's Taylor Swift (Pink). In the run-up to the most important speech of Kamala Harris's life, rumor ran hot that Queen Bey would grace the Democratic National Convention with her presence. After TMZ reported that Jay-Z's much-better half was indeed backstage at Chicago's United Center on Thursday night, I spotted more than one delegate decked out in glitterball 'Cowboy Carter' hats and matching silver chaps. Alas, it turned out to be a big-head fake, the whole fiasco a metaphor for what America just...

We were wrong. That was the message Friday from TMZ that acknowledged it falsely claimed pop icon Beyoncé would take the stage in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention. The entertainment outlet had claimed the hitmaker was set to warm up the crowd before Vice President Kamala Harris strode forward and accepted the Democratic presidential nomination inside the crowded United Center. That never happened and critics were quick to point out the Democratic Party let the rumors run wild in an effort to boost the primetime television audience.

Freedom, it’s often said, isn’t free. But for Democrats in Chicago this week, it’s been the gift that keeps on giving. From the Beyoncé song that’s served as Vice President Kamala Harris’ walk-on music, to its strategic deployment across scores of speeches, Democrats have flipped the script on a patriotic noun that used to feel like the exclusive property of Republicans. Instead of freedom from taxes and onerous regulation, or freedom from the government taking your guns, Democrats have reframed the word. This week, it’s meant freedom for women to make their own health care choices, the freedom for Americans...

A group of NFL players from across the league have gathered for a 70-second video demanding that the NFL deliver a clear message about racial injustice in the wake of the death of George Floyd.The video starts with Saints receiver Michael Thomas saying, “It’s been 10 days since George Floyd was brutally murdered.”Then comes DeAndre Hopkins to ask, “What will it take?”“For one of us to be murdered by police brutality?” Browns receiver Jarvis Landry adds.“What if I was George Floyd?” Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson asks.“If I was George Floyd,” Giants running back Saquon Barkley also asks.“What if I was...

A public-service announcement honoring the life of Botham Jean will be shown during the Super Bowl as part of a partnership between the Jean family’s foundation and the NFL, according to the family’s lawyer. The 2-minute video was released online Wednesday and shows the “human cost of police brutality” from the Jean family’s perspective, said attorney Lee Merritt. Jean, 26, was fatally shot in his own apartment in 2018 by former Dallas officer Amber Guyger, who was convicted of murder last year and is now serving a 10-year prison sentence. Merritt said the video, produced by Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation...

Jay-Z is unhappy with the way Colin Kaepernick handled his workout on Saturday -- our sources feel Colin "turned a legitimate workout into a publicity stunt." As we previously reported, Colin bailed on the NFL's workout Saturday and held his own workout instead. Colin claims he wanted transparency -- insisting the NFL would not allow him to have media at the workout. Sources close to Jay-Z tell us ... Jay is unhappy with the way things went down because he feels the league was genuine in trying to give Colin an opportunity. Colin went through with his workout at a...

Details on Colin Kaepernick’s Saturday workout at the #Falcons facility that has the feel of a Combine:— It begins at 3 pm— Interview is at 3:15 pm— Measurements, stretching & warmups are next.— Timing & testing at 3:50 pm— QB drills at 4:15All parts recorded for 32 teams.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 13, 2019 Reid, who plays for the Carolina Panthers, is one of several critics to express skepticism that Kaepernick’s league-arranged workout is a genuine path back to the NFL. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” Reid told reporters on Wednesday. “At this point, it feels like...

This Colin Kaepernick workout situation has been haphazard and it's hard to know exactly what to make from it. Beyond that, where did it come from? Dan Patrick has a source who believes Jay-Z was behind the decision for the NFL to grant him this workout: Patrick said: "According to my source, Jay-Z said that he took a reputational bullet for the Commissioner when they had that press conference [with] his new role in the NFL. Social agenda. Social injustice. He was gonna help with the entertainment for halftime. All of this. My source said that Jay-Z was pressuring the...

An attorney representing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sharply criticized rapper Jay-Z on Tuesday after Jay-Z met with NFL officials to speak about social justice issues while Kaepernick remains unemployed. SNIP Mark Geragos, who is representing Kaepernick in his dealings with the NFL, told ABC News that the partnership amounted to crossing an "intellectual picket line." "This deal between Jay-Z and the NFL crosses the intellectual picket line," Geragos told ABC. "I can confirm to you that the deal was already done prior to any conversation that [Kaepernick] had with Jay-Z and he certainly didn’t have any conversations...

This week, the NFL, with its $42 million-per man at the wheel, committed another act of putting up while shutting up. It named Jay-Z and his entertainment/rep company Roc Nation to “enhance the NFL’s live game experiences and to amplify the league’s social justice efforts.” Jay-Z also will contribute to and supervise Super Bowl halftime acts. Of course, having named the fabulously wealthy and popular rapper its “social justice” monitor, no one from the NFL — certainly not Goodell — would dare read the lyrics of the scores of numbers that have brought Jay-Z his fame, fortune and, now, NFL-assigned...

Colin Kaepernick. Remember him? Below-average quarterback. Above-average poseur. Not “activist,” not really. Activists actually say stuff. Kaepernick almost never says anything. He’s like the Queen or most popes — you have to read the deep-background musings of supposed members of his inner circle to get a clue as to what he might be thinking. Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016, when anyway he was merely the disappointing starter on its worst team, and given that dozens of quarterbacks have entered the league since then and that he’s been gathering rust like the Tin Woodman for three years, he...

We regret to inform you that Jay-Z has been canceled. No, it’s not his future ­album, or his next concert, that has been canceled — but Jay-Z, the human being. He has been axed, nixed, non-personed. On Wednesday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Jay-Z announced a partnership between the league and the legendary rapper’s entertainment company, Roc Nation. The partnership would be part entertainment and part activism and involve the NFL’s “Inspire Change” campaign, which will promote criminal-justice reform and better police-community relations. The online backlash came ­almost instantaneously. The ­anger at Jay-Z involved his support for Colin Kaepernick, the...

When it comes to racial shakedowns, few organizations succumb on a grander scale than the National Football League. This tendency was on full display on Tuesday when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and black rapper/business mogul Jay-Z announced a multiyear partnership “to enhance the NFL’s live game experiences and to amplify the league’s social justice efforts.” More plainly, the league is about to entangle itself further with political radicalism. Goodell and company may believe that the pact is good for public relations, but they could not be more wrong. The NFL for many years has been a prime target of black...
