In the documents, he claimed the timing of the lawsuit was malicious, as it was filed in December the day before the London premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King, starring Beyonce, 43, and their eldest daughter Blue Ivy, 13.
Jay-Z wrote: “I feel that Mr Buzbee purposely filed this lawsuit on the eve of my daughter’s premiere to put me in the position of having to choose between supporting my daughter or hiding to avoid the negative press coverage.
He is now suing his accuser’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, who filed the allegation that he and fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs attacked the girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards party.
In court documents, Jay-Z said: “Social media comments online responding to Mr Buzbee’s public statements about me and accusations against me have caused me harm.
RAPPER Jay-z says he and wife Beyonce were sent death threats after he was accused of raping a girl of 13.
