Jay-Z, 55, and Beyoncé, 43, were accompanied by daughter Blue Ivy and Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles , 70, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

The family was smiling and appeared to be in the holiday spirit after the 99 Problems rapper issued a scorching denial to the claims and took aim at his accuser’s legal representation.

 

Jay-Z said in a response he issued to Dailymail.com Sunday that he is the victim of a ‘blackmail attempt’ and fears his three children with Beyoncé will have to ‘endure’ harassment in the wake of the shocking allegations.

Jay-Z is especially worried about Blue Ivy, 12. He is afraid she will face questions from her friends about the lawsuit. The couple also share twins Rumi and Sir, seven.

 

‘My only heartbreak is for my family,’ Jay-Z said. ‘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.’

 

Beyoncé, 43, supported Jay-Z, 55, in a red carpet appearance in Hollywood, California on Monday, one day after the rapper was named in a lawsuit alleging he raped a 13-year-old girl with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in 2000

The fashion designer made headlines earlier Monday after she claimed her social media was hacked after a ‘like’ appeared on a post to a news story about the lawsuit against Jay-Z.

A source told Dailymail.com Monday, ‘Tina liked the post accidentally and quickly removed the like once close friends pointed the error out to her.

In a GQ interview published this past September, Beyoncé said that Blue Ivy worked hard to prove to her she deserved a spot on the stage during the tour.

‘She’s a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage,’ Beyoncé said. ‘Blue wanted it for herself. She took it seriously and she earned it. And most importantly, she had fun! We all watched her grow more and more every night before our eyes.’

Beyoncé said that accommodations had to be made with Blue Ivy’s school to streamline her academic schedule to the five-month, 56-show trek, noting that her eldest child has demonstrated talent in multiple areas.

‘Blue is an artist,’ she added. ‘She has great taste in music and fashion. She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three.’

In the GQ interview, Beyoncé specifically mentioned that she wanted to keep her children’s upbringings as normal as possible amid the family’s rare level of fame and wealth.

‘One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand,’ she said. ‘It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art.

‘I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.’

In his statement denying the claims, Jay-Z said, ‘My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a “lawyer” named Tony Buzbee.

Jay-Z said in his statement, ‘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’

‘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. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!’ the statement read.

‘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!’

The rap staple, whose hits include Empire State Of Mind, Big Pimpin’ and Can I Get A…, took personal aim at Buzbee, who has taken on more than 100 cases against Combs.

‘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,’ Jay-Z said in his reply. ‘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.

‘My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.’

Jay-Z said in his statement that Buzbee ‘made a terrible error in judgement’ in categorizing all celebrities as the same, referencing his own rise amid humble New York City beginnings.

‘I’m not from your world,’ he said. ‘I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games.

The rapper began dancing on the red carpet, appearing upbeat amid the legal issues

‘We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain.’

Jay-Z wrapped up his statement in saying, ‘Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable. I look forward to showing you just how different I am.’

The statement was initially sent to Dailymail.com then published on the Instagram account for Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label.

Dailymail.com has reached out to Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing Jay-Z’s accuser, for comment.

Buzbee told TMZ in a statement Sunday evening, ‘Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He even filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym.

‘What he fails to say in his recent statement is my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation.’

In the suit filed by Buzbee’s firm, the accuser said that the sexual assault occurred at a house party following the VMAs.

The accuser was hoping to attend the VMAs as a ‘bucket list’ aspiration, according to the lawsuit, and ‘believed she could gain entry.’
