Jay-Z is reportedly ready to distance himself from long-time friend Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Insiders are claiming the rap legend would “absolutely throw Diddy under the bus” to protect himself amid his own r***e allegations.
According to Daily Mail, an insider shared that Jay-Z is ready to do whatever it takes to avoid going to jail.
It also stated, “Jay-Z would absolutely throw Diddy under the bus if that is what it took to clear his name and walk away from this. He has zero loyalty to Diddy.”
The source added, “The moment Diddy was arrested, Jay-Z scrubbed him from his existence. He is going after [lawyer Tony] Buzbee for himself and not for anyone else.”
“The only thing that he cares about is him never stepping foot inside a jail cell and his family being safe. Jay-Z is extremely powerful and will deploy any tactic necessary,” the insider concluded.
For the unversed, last week, 55-year-old rapper Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old with Diddy in 2000 after the MTV Video Music Awards.
Notably, Jay-Z strongly denied the claims, and his lawyer, Alex Spiro, also told the media, “The pair do not share a ‘closer association’ than professional friends.”
