Jay-Z's attorney, Alex Spiro, says there's no relationship outside of a professional context between his client and Diddy. The clarification comes after a woman amended a previous lawsuit against the Bad Boy mogul to accuse Jay-Z of allegedly raping her at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000, when she was just 13 years old. Both Jay and Diddy have already vehemently denied the allegation.
Spiro distanced Jay from Diddy while speaking during a press roundtable at Roc Nation’s New York City Offices on Monday. “They knew each other professionally for a number of years,” he said, as caught by Us Weekly. “Just like in all professions, people know each other. At the music awards, they support each other. If you go to the NBA All-Star game, they support each other. That’s just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them. That’s also a matter of fiction.” Spiro similarly denied there being a relationship between the two during an interview with NBC News on Monday as well. “There is no friendship or longtime bond here,” Spiro told the outlet. “Just because they knew each other, know each other, that doesn’t mean anything.”
When The Shade Room shared Spiro's comments on Instagram, fans had plenty of jokes. "Ain’t friends?!?! they got more pics together than me and my dad," one user remarked. Another wrote: "He must be guilty cuz Now he just straight up lying is crazy." One more wrote: "Diddy in his cell saying bet.. While rubbing his hands together like Bird Man."
Elsewhere during the press roundtable, Spiro explained that he expects his client to be cleared of any wrongdoing. “It’s obvious to everybody that Mr. Carter did not do this,” he reportedly said. “Obviously, Jay-Z did not rape a child." Check out Alex Spiro's latest defense of Jay-Z below.
Usher, one of R&B's greatest showmen, might have just gotten shown up by a special guest at his recent concert. The Dallas, Texas-born singer is still trekking all across North America right now for his Past Present Future tour. There are a few reasons for this, including a neck injury and Hurricane Milton. The physical issue happened in August, and Mother Nature halted his plans in October. This led Usher to move these dates back. In fact, all of them were rescheduled for this month. The first three missed dates have already gone by, and the Miami shows are currently being knocked out. Last night (December 16) kicked things off and they began with a bang.
If you know Usher's routines at his performances, you know he loves to interact with the audience. That's especially true when it comes to his female concertgoers. Just a few days ago, the "Yeah!" hitmaker granted a birthday girl in the crowd to eat two cherries out of his hand mid-show. However, she didn't simply gobble them up. Instead, she got really sexual and raunchy with it before giving him a little booty shaking show.
He was left quite surprised, with his facial reaction on the big screen at the venue in a hilarious moment. Well, yesterday at the Kaseya Center was no different, but this time a celebrity was in the stands. Rubi Rose, model, entrepreneur, and rapper, made her way out to support Usher. He's got a history of tracking down women like her and creating viral memories, and trust us, they managed to make one.
Instead of two cherries, the star attraction dangled one in front of Rubi's face. She began to lick it (again a suggestive manner), but she stopped. Instead of going it alone, she called on a friend that was with her, and they both did their thing on it right in front of Usher. As you can see in the video above, his reaction was utterly priceless with the crowd laughing at his facial expression. Rubi wound up sharing the video on her Twitter, captioning the post, "When u shy but a real eater." Fans were similarly stunned but the stunt, with one writing, "Usher face is sending me bc I made the EXACT same face
