Jay-Z Sued Over Alleged Bribery Scheme

In a shocking twist to the ongoing legal battle between Jay-Z and attorney Tony Buzbee, a Texas man has filed a lawsuit claiming Jay-Z’s legal team attempted to bribe people to sue Buzbee’s law firm. The 13-page lawsuit, filed on January 3, 2025, in Harris County, Texas, alleges that Jay-Z’s attorneys and his company Roc Nation engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Key points of the lawsuit include:

1. The plaintiff, Jose Maldonado, is represented by Buzbee’s law firm.
2. Defendants include Marcy Croft, her law firm MJ Legal, Roc Nation, and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
3. The suit claims the defendants offered up to $10,000 to former Buzbee clients to sue his firm.
4. Alleged agents pretended to work for the state of Texas and used fake badges.
5. Audio recordings allegedly capture the agents describing the conspiracy.

Buzbee stated that he expects more lawsuits to follow as former clients report similar conduct. He told the Houston Chronicle, “The conduct alleged by Mr. Maldonado is illegal and unethical. We know investigators have gone all over the United States illegally contacting our former clients to try to entice them with money to sue our firm”.

However, Marcy Croft, a key figure in the lawsuit, dismissed the allegations as desperate. She stated, “For over 25 years I’ve dedicated my career to exposing and dismantling networks of fraud and manipulation. I didn’t ask to be a part of this fight, but now that he’s dragged me into it, he should know that I’m not someone who backs down”.

This lawsuit adds another layer to the complex legal battle stemming from allegations of sexual assault against Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these new allegations will impact the ongoing legal proceedings and the reputations of those involved.
