Following the release of rape accusations against rapper Jay-Z last week, a woman who had a “nine-year affair with Jay-Z” has come forward.
Carmen Bryan, 52, criticized Jay-Z on Instagram after the musician was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.
She wrote on social media: “People today defend who they like, not what is right! We refer to you as a “groupie” for that reason.
Between 1995 and 2004, the author and businesswoman had a nine-year affair with the rapper, during which she became pregnant.
She brought up the rapper’s threat to “rape and pillage your village, women and children” in his feature on Kanye West’s song “Monster.”
Bryan calls herself the ‘hip hop Helen of Troy’ in her autobiography, and she was once employed in the music business.
Jay-Z demanded yesterday that the case against him be dropped or that the identity of the woman who claimed he had raped her when she was just 13 be made public.
The anonymous rape accuser’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, has claimed that Jay-Z “harassed” his family and called the rapper’s “blackmail” claims “bogus and laughable.”
According to court documents filed on Sunday, the complainant, identified only as Jane Doe, was drugged and sexually assaulted by Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Sean Combs, also known as “P Diddy,” at an after-party held after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
According to the victim, an unidentified female celebrity observed.
Mr. Carter claims that his “only heartbreak” was for his family and has called the case a “blackmail attempt” by the claimant’s attorney.
“Let me be clear: These shenanigans will not intimidate or bully us,” the attorney stated. And we won’t silence our clients.”
Originally filed in October in the Southern District of New York, the federal civil lawsuit named Combs as a defendant. On Sunday, it was refiled to include Mr. Carter.
