50 Cent has taken a brutal swipe at Jay-Z after suggesting the rapper should no longer produce the Super Bowl halftime show amid claims that he raped a minor.
Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in a civil lawsuit filed on Sunday.
In a fiery statement, the Roc Nation founder has furiously denied the allegations and taken aim at Texas attorney Tony Buzbee – calling him a ‘deplorable human’ and an ‘ambulance chaser in a cheap suit’ amongst other insults – while also revealing that he will sit down with wife Beyonce to explain the suit to their young children.
Though despite the fact he is strongly protesting his innocence, Jay-Z has received no sympathy from bitter rival Curtis Jackson – better known as 50 Cent.
Jackson, who is working on a tell-all Netflix docuseries about the sex trafficking and racketeering offenses Combs has been charged with, has had a long-running feud with Carter after the pair traded insults on some of their tracks in the late 1990s.
Carter was also accused by Jackson of trying to ban him from the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show, only to backtrack when Eminem threatened to pull out.

Jay-Z and his Roc Nation company have helped produce the iconic music event for the NFL’s end-of-season showpiece since 2020, and in light of the sexual assault allegations 50 Cent has appeared to imply that he should no longer be involved.
Along with a famous meme that shows him laughing in a car before driving away, Jackson wrote on Instagram: ‘Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl [halftime show] *worried emoji* I’m just asking for a friend!’
Kendrick Lamar, who enjoys a partnership with Roc Nation, is currently scheduled to headline this season’s Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans.
Usher performed at Super Bowl LVII earlier this year, while other past shows have seen the likes of Rihanna, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce put on spectacles.
Jay-Z has vowed to clear his name after being hit by the civil lawsuit, which he believes has been filed by Buzbee for ‘personal gain’.
In a letter released on Sunday, he began: ‘My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a 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 want to settle.’
‘No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion,’ he continued. ‘So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!

‘These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.
‘This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics! I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over. I’m more than prepared to deal with your type.
‘You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honor nor dignity’
Jay-Z then mentioned how it is ‘unfair’ that his family, particularly his eldest daughter Blue Ivy, will also be affected by the lawsuit. He also shares twins Rumi and Sir, seven, with Beyonce.
‘My only heartbreak is for my family,’ he continued. ‘My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.
‘I mourn yet another loss of innocence.’
