JAY-Z made a surprise appearance at the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King alongside Beyoncé and their eldest daughter Blue Ivy just days after he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.
The rap legend appeared on the red carpet in support of his wife and daughter who both lend their voices to the film.
He also posed for pictures with his family but did not speak to the press in attendance.
It is JAY-Z’s first public appearance since a bombshell lawsuit accused him of rape and an even bigger bombshell of a denial.

The “99 Problems” rapper made a rare public comment to blast the lawsuit and the plaintiff’s lawyer Tony Buzbee in a statement posted on social media.
“We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain,” he said.
“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.”
He added: “My only heartbreak is for my family. 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.”
Buzbee would quickly respond on social media, writing: “Mr Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He 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.
“Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr Carter has not only sued me, but he has tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite impact. She is emboldened. I’m very proud of her resolve.”
I’m sure the parents there weren’t very pleased to see him at a kids movie.
Diddy was trying to put on this facade of a brave face too when he knew he was completely FUCKED. Its not looking good for Jay, the female celebrity who was said to have been watching the sexual assault of the minor has been widely believed to have settled outside of court as her name wasn’t mentioned. There’s also the fact that this story has been mentioned before previously and that footage exists on a thumb drive. Will be interesting to see what other information comes out
Someone in his circle should tell him to shave that wispy looking fluff shit off his face smh.
Nas and Jay z look very alike. Given that nas has proven to be a piece of shit before, it’s almost certain that the victim misidentified nas as jay z
You are so funny, you must be posting this from Memphis Bleek asshole lmao
