“My wife and I will have to sit down our children, one of whom is at the age when her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people,” read his statement. “I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to experience this at a young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand the inexplicable level of malice designed to destroy families and the human spirit.”
Jay-Z also called the lawsuit an “attempted blackmail” and noted that the claims “would be laughable” without “the severity of the harm to children.”
Jay-Z’s mother-in-law raised eyebrows on Sunday when she apparently “liked” an Instagram post announcing that the music mogul had been accused of rape. Them next claimed her account had been hacked.
