Rape allegations made against Jay-Z by an unnamed accuser prompted the music mogul to make a public statement that he would not be silenced.

Jay-Z, born Shawn Corey Carter, was named in one Sean “Diddy” Combs’ A sexual assault case was filed on Sunday and the following day a motion was made to dismiss the case. The rapper was accused of raping a minor along with Diddy at an MTV VMAs afterparty in 2000, documents say.

In a scathing response shared online, the “Holy Grail” singer called the lawsuit an “extortion attempt” by the accuser’s attorney, Tony Buzbee. This year, Garth Brooks also filed extortion charges against his accuser after he was accused of raping his former makeup artist in 2019.

Neama Rahmani, former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Litigation Attorneys, told Fox News Digital that while attempting to speak out against an accuser can be “very risky,” there is also value in speaking out.

“When a defense attorney or publicist turns out to be overly aggressive and shaming the victim, it often encourages other victims and witnesses to come forward,” Rahmani said. “So it can have the opposite effect. Maybe it will deter some people from coming forward. Maybe controlling the narrative and the PR role as well as traditional and social media will help. That may have some benefit, but it can certainly backfire and potentially encourage other victims who are kind of marginalized…it’s often hard to be the first victim.”

On Monday, Jay-Z appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King” alongside his wife Beyoncé, their 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, and his mother-in-law Tina Knowles. The “Formation” singer voices the role of Nala in the Disney film, while Blue plays Kiara.

The lawsuit, originally filed in October, was refiled on Sunday new York by an anonymous accuser who claims Jay-Z “raped” her while Diddy and “Celebrity B” watched. The lawsuit originally stated that Diddy raped the minor while “Celebrity A” and “Celebrity B” watched. Jay-Z was named as “Celebrity A” in the refiled lawsuit.

Jay-Z denied the allegations in a public post shared online through his Roc Nation banner, saying Buzbee’s attempt to force him to settle only caused Jay-Z to “blame you for cheating, “So no, I will NOT give you a RED PENNY!!”

Buzbee responded to Jay-Z in a statement shared on X, saying his client never asked for money.

“Concerning the Jay Z case and his efforts to silence my clients, Mr. Carter has previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm,” he wrote. “He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What he fails to mention in his most recent statement is that my office sent a demand letter to his attorney on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never asked for a dime from him.”

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

Brand expert Eric Schiffer believed that the “Empire State of Mind” musician’s approach to responding to the lawsuit was related to Jay-Z’s evolution into a person who had outgrown his environment.

“If Jay-Z is innocent as he says, this is the absolute path to take, which is an aggressive, no-nonsense force with a tough and grim lawyer who firmly believes in his own view of his clients’ cases.” said Schiffer. “Jay-Z’s approach to the way he released his statement and presented it unobtrusively – as if he had written it on his computer – adds to the authenticity, including the inclusion of his background, his history, his view, that he is not manipulating can be, no different than when he was younger and didn’t let himself be pushed around.

“For the past two months, I have been endlessly plagued with threats, lies and tragic stories about what my future would look like if I did not write a multi-million dollar check,” he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “It was like a loaded gun was being waved in my face.”

Los Angeles entertainment and civil law attorney Tre Lovell of the Lovell Firm told Fox News Digital that it was a necessity for Brooks and Jay-Z to defend themselves against their accusers.

“It’s not risky to speak out publicly, it’s absolutely necessary,” Lovell said. “Their brand and image are just as important as defending the merits of the case, and the only way to restore someone’s public image is to take their case directly to the public.”

Lovell added: “Making a very strong statement or filing your own lawsuit are all steps to protect your image and show people that they have been wronged and they want to fight. This includes not only defending the lawsuits against them, but also filing their own lawsuits for damages that they have incurred as a result of alleged false accusations.
