A woman who presses charges Jay Z (real name Shawn Carter) on rape charges in a new civil trial never “asked for a penny” from him, her lawyer said.

“Mr. Carter has previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He even filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What he fails to mention in his most recent statement is that my firm advised his attorney on behalf of a suspect sent a demand letter to the victim and that victim never asked for a cent from him,” said the Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee TMZ said in a statement on Sunday, December 8, accusing Jay-Z of being the anonymous male celebrity who filed a lawsuit against him last month. (It remains unclear whether Jay-Z is actually the male star who sued Buzbee and his company.)

Buzbee continued, “Instead, she sought only confidential mediation. Since I sent the letter on their behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me, but has attempted to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His behavior had the opposite effect. She is encouraged. I am very proud of their determination.”

Pro on NBC News Report Sunday, Jay-Z and DiddyBoth 55, are named as defendants in a civil lawsuit accusing the rap moguls of sexually assaulting them when they were 13. The woman, identified only as “Jane Doe,” claimed the assault occurred at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000.

The lawsuit was first filed in October in the Southern District of New York and originally listed Diddy as the sole defendant. It was resubmitted on Sunday to include Jay-Z.

The “99 Problems” rapper vehemently denied the allegations against him in a statement Us weekly on Sunday. He accused Jane Doe’s lawyer of blackmailing him to get a settlement.

“My lawyer received an extortion attempt, a so-called demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me agree,” Jay-Z said. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to VERY publicly expose you for the fraud you are perpetrating. So no, I won’t give you a red penny!!”

“These allegations are so heinous that I am asking you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil complaint!! Whoever would commit such a crime against a minor should be imprisoned, don’t you agree?” The statement continued. “These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.” (Jay-Z’s statement was also shared via Roc Nation’s official Instagram account.)

“This amended statement of claim and the recent extortion lawsuit against Mr. Buzbee expose his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts designed to coerce payments from celebrities who fear lies are being spread about them, that is “I spread something about Mr. Combs,” Diddy’s lawyers said in a statement Us on Sunday. “As his legal team has stated, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and integrity of the legal process. The truth will prevail in court: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sexually assaulted anyone – man or woman, adult or minor.”

Buzbee, who represents several of Diddy’s accusers in various civil cases, was sued last month by an unidentified male celebrity who said the lawyer “shamelessly attempted to extort exorbitant sums of money from him or publicly make completely false, horrific allegations against him.” . The celebrity claimed in the filing that Buzbee’s law firm was trying to capitalize on the “explosive allegations against Sean Combs” by bringing in public figures who knew Diddy in the past.
