JAY-Z‘s attorney, Alex Spiro, has rubbished the idea that the rapper has come to an agreement with controversial lawyer, Tony Buzbee.
Buzbee, who represented the anonymous woman who accused JAY-Z of rape as well as 120 alleged victims of Diddy, has moved to dismiss the rap legend’s defamation lawsuit against him.
Jay sued Buzbee and the anonymous woman for defamation for bringing the case against him, which was ultimately withdrawn by the plaintiff.
In the motion to dismiss, Buzbee accuses JAY-Z of his using his position as a wealthy and famous man to bully the woman into dropping her case.

He further claims that Jay’s defamation suit has been filed in the wrong court but that the two parties have come to an agreement.
The filing states: “Eventually, the relentless pressure that Mr. Carter and his associates placed upon Doe became too much for her. On February 4, 2025, an agreement to resolve the litigation was reached between Doe and Mr. Carter, through their attorneys, which included the voluntary dismissal of the SDNY Action.”
However, Spiro claims that no such agreement exists: “Total lie. He brought a false case, lost badly and was forced to dismiss quickly. End of story.”
Buzbee’s own attorney hit back at Spiro, saying: “Spiro’s statement that there was no agreement is a total fabrication. There was an exchange of emails between me and Spiro which set forth the agreement very clearly. As part of that agreement Spiro agreed to withdraw the rule 11 motions for sanctions that he had brought against Mr. Buzbee’s law firm.”

He added: “We agreed to withdraw the lawsuit that Jane Doe had brought for rape against Jay Z and Mr. Combs even though Jane Doe continued to maintain that the allegations in that lawsuit were true, and Jay Z and Spiro agreed not to send any more people to harass and intimidate Jane Doe and her family. One-week later Jay-Z and his lawyer breached that agreement flagrantly by sending supposed investigators to harass and intimidate Jane Doe and her family.”
In turn, Spiro said JAY-Z “would never settle the lawsuit or pay any money to resolve it, given it was a heinous false accusation.”
The anonymous woman’s lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice meaning it can never be refiled and those documents made no mention of an agreement between the parties.
