G-Unit’s Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda have weighed in on the explosive allegations against Jay-Z and Diddy, calling the lawsuit a calculated “shakedown” rather than a genuine pursuit of justice.
Talking to TMZ Hip-Hop at LAX on Monday (Dec. 9), they shared skepticism about the claims, which accuse Jay-Z and Diddy of assaulting a minor in the presence of an unnamed female celebrity. They didn’t hold back, suggesting the allegations are less about accountability and more about ulterior motives.
Tony Yayo pointed to high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee as the driving force behind what he described as a publicity stunt. In his view, the lawsuit seeks to exploit the names of rap’s biggest figures rather than uncover the truth.
Uncle Murda echoed the sentiment but took it a step further, speculating that Diddy might even be behind the lawsuit as a way to redirect scrutiny away from his mounting legal troubles. Yayo dismissed that theory as far-fetched, emphasizing his belief that this is just another chapter in a season of opportunistic lawsuits.
Uncle Murda, who shares Jay-Z’s Brooklyn roots, expressed admiration for how Jay has handled the situation, standing firm in his denials. The rapper hinted that the controversy might become his annual “Rap-Up” freestyle, where he often tackles the year’s biggest headlines.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent, known for his sharp takes on industry drama, has remained unusually quiet, though insiders say he’s keeping a close eye on how this unfolds, particularly given Jay-Z’s high-profile partnership with the NFL.
Across the hip-hop world, several artists have rallied behind Jay-Z, with figures like Soulja Boy and Meek Mill vocalizing their support. Many are pointing out the dangers of rushing to judgment in the court of public opinion. As Yayo put it, “Guilty until proven innocent is a song title, not the law.”
The case continues to stir debate, with questions of credibility, motive, and the broader implications for hip-hop’s biggest names hanging in the balance.
