Speaker 1: Let me get into some pop culture. Please. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to call this entertainment.
Speaker 2: The woman who accused jay z In Sean Diddy Combs
Speaker 2: of raping her when she was thirteen years old has
Speaker 2: dropped her lawsuit against both men less than four months.
Speaker 1: After it was filed.
Speaker 2: Court records showed that the suit was dismissed with prejudice,
Speaker 2: meaning the plaintiff cannot refile a suit. The suit included
Speaker 2: disturbing details of how the woman was allegedly lured by
Speaker 2: a limousine driver outside the two thousand MTV Video Music
Speaker 2: Awards and assaulted by the two rappers at an after party.
Speaker 2: Jay Z strongly denied the claims, and his attorneys had
Speaker 2: been seeking to get the case dismissed. In a statement
Speaker 2: on Saturday, jay Z Sean Carter himself said the claims
Speaker 2: were quote frivolous, fictitious, and appalling, and called the suit
Speaker 2: a money grab. The statement continued, I would not wish
Speaker 2: this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children,
Speaker 2: my loved ones, and I have endured can never be dismissed.
Speaker 2: This one to eight hundred lawyer gets to file a
Speaker 2: suit hiding behind Jane doe, and when they quickly realize
Speaker 2: that the money grab is going to fail, they get
Speaker 2: to walk away with no repercussions. The court must protect victims,
Speaker 2: of course, while with the same ethical responsibility, the courts
Speaker 2: must protect the innocent from being accused without a shred
Speaker 2: of evidence.
Speaker 1: End quote.
Speaker 2: On Saturday, combs attorney said the suit dropped on Friday
Speaker 2: will be the first of many that will.
Speaker 1: Not hold up in a court of law. End quote.
Speaker 1: Jay Z ain't that one, as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: He did exactly what he was supposed to do.
Speaker 2: He didn't sit oddly by and watch his name be
Speaker 2: raked through the Colds and Sully the way that he did.
Speaker 2: Most of us would have. Most of us would have
Speaker 2: let our lawyers handed it. We would have shut up,
Speaker 2: We would have kept silent. He didn't do that, And
Speaker 2: I remember I was taking a lot of heat for
Speaker 2: coming to jay Z's defense. My initial question is where
Speaker 2: the hell are y'all now? And to the people who
Speaker 2: have smiled in jay Z's face, who was supposed to
Speaker 2: be his friends, who are supposed to be supportive of
Speaker 2: his where y'all at? Where y'all at? Let me be
Speaker 2: very very clear, none of us were there. We don't
Speaker 2: know what happened to whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: That's fair, and if you have.
Speaker 2: A microphone and a camera in front of you, you
Speaker 2: have an obligation to say that. But in the same breath,
Speaker 2: what was I being attacked for ladies and gentlemen, if
Speaker 2: you were, if you would recall what I said? Was
Speaker 2: the man that I have known and I have been
Speaker 2: friends with for twenty five years. There's no way I
Speaker 2: believe he's capable of something like that.
Speaker 1: See, the bigger issue is.
Speaker 2: The damn punks that society has turned us into. You
Speaker 2: can say two things at once. You can say I
Speaker 2: wasn't there and I have no factual evidence to prove
Speaker 2: my position.
Speaker 3: But the person that I've known for twenty five years, nah,
Speaker 3: I don't believe he would do that.
Speaker 1: I want to stak I want.
Speaker 3: To make sure that I'm clear because I got friends
Speaker 3: and loved.
Speaker 1: Ones and people like that in my life.
Speaker 3: If y'all ever handle some stuff with me the way
Speaker 3: that some of these people handle this stuff with jay.
Speaker 1: Z, y'all kiss my ass and you go to hell.
Speaker 3: Because at the very least somebody should be able to
Speaker 3: say I've known stephen A for twenty twenty five, thirty years,
Speaker 3: forty years.
Speaker 1: Nah, I can't see him doing it. You just gonna go.
Speaker 3: Silent and just leave him hanging like that when it
Speaker 3: ain't like he was silent. It ain't like he.
Speaker 2: Hid it.
Speaker 3: And leaving others to talk for him. No, he spoke
Speaker 3: and said I'm innocent. This is not true, and nobody
Speaker 3: could stand up and say.
Speaker 1: Nah, I that brother that I know.
Speaker 2: I can't see that a thirteen year old girl, Yes,
Speaker 2: you are guilty. You are innocent until proven guilty in
Speaker 2: the court of law, and we understand it in the
Speaker 2: court of public opinion.
Speaker 1: It shifted in this day and age.
Speaker 2: You know what the sad part is some of you
Speaker 2: out there might have believed jay Z was totally innocent,
Speaker 2: but you know what, it wasn't clickbait to say that,
Speaker 2: So what you wanted to do was throw it out
Speaker 2: there and give a reaction for clickbait purposes.
Speaker 1: That's sad, it really really is.
Speaker 2: If I'm attorney Buzzby, I'll watch my back because jay
Speaker 2: Z coming. I don't believe for one second that jay
Speaker 2: Z's gonna sit oddly by and stop there. I don't
Speaker 2: believe it I don't believe it. You don't have to
Speaker 2: hang out with people everybody. Oh Steven, you're trying you
Speaker 2: name job, You're trying to act like you cool that.
Speaker 2: You know how many times I've been to forty forty
Speaker 2: Know how many times me and jay Z were hanging
Speaker 2: out in the back with og Wan and the rest
Speaker 2: of the crew talking sports, hanging out, playing cards, playing
Speaker 2: fantasy football or whatever it is. You know how many times
Speaker 2: I've been around these me You know how you know
Speaker 2: you don't know who I know, You don't know who
Speaker 2: anybody knows. But you don't have to be around people
Speaker 2: every day, ladies and gentlemen. One of my best friends
Speaker 2: in the world is my boy Pooly. You know Pooley
Speaker 2: that love the big women. You got to be a
Speaker 2: minimum of two hundred and fifty pound of him to
Speaker 2: look at you. Beyonce could be in front of his
Speaker 2: face and E'd be like, what the hell I my
Speaker 2: support do it that she's too small?
Speaker 1: That Pooly.
Speaker 2: Pooly was raised in Hollis Queen's with me. I'm lucky
Speaker 2: if I see Poolly once a year. Once a year,
Speaker 2: I'm lucky if we talk more than five times a year.
Speaker 2: The one thing you will never hear me say is
Speaker 2: that there's somebody on this planet Earth that is my
Speaker 2: best friend over him. I grew up with him. I've
Speaker 2: known him for over fifty years. Fifty five. Actually, that's
Speaker 2: my dog. I don't give a damn if I don't
Speaker 2: see him or I'll talk to him as much. I
Speaker 2: love my brother, and if he ever needs me, I'm
Speaker 2: only a call away. This notion that you got to
Speaker 2: hang out with people and got to fratenize all the time,
Speaker 2: and got to be in front of their face all
Speaker 2: the damn time for them to be friends, y'all know
Speaker 2: that's not true. I've known jay Z for twenty five years.
Speaker 2: I never believed he was guilty of such a thing. Ever,
Speaker 2: it's a damn shame that the only voice I heard
Speaker 2: say that was myself. It's pretty messed up. He's a
Speaker 2: better man than me, though he'll probably move on. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't forget any of y'all asses, wouldn't do much, wouldn't
Speaker 2: say much, but I know you, and you'd know I
Speaker 2: know you. To Jay, Beyonce and the family, hope y'all
Speaker 2: continue to live life.
Speaker 1: Wonderfully and prosperously.
Speaker 2: I'm glad this specific ordeal is over, and I hope
Speaker 2: you never have to deal with.
Speaker 1: Anything like this again.
Speaker 2: That's all I got to say, cause anything else I say,
Speaker 2: I might just cuss people out. Can't speak up to nobody,
Speaker 2: That's how much punks we are in this day it is.
Speaker 2: Can't speak up anybody,
