Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda React to Lawsuit Against JAY-Z, Label Allegations as Extortion

Tony Yayo doesn’t seem to be holding back when it comes to the anonymous lawsuit against JAY-Z, accusing the rapper of reportedly raping a 13-year-old girl. Yayo recently spoke to TMZ along with Uncle Murda, wherein he discussed the lawsuit claiming that JAY-Z and Diddy drugged and raped an underage girl during an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in the year 2000.

Yayo responded, “For somebody to extort you, send you a letter, and then you gotta send your lawyers, sounds like extortion to me.”

As for Uncle Murda, he had his theory adding, “I think Diddy paid somebody to say that shit about Jay to get the heat off himself ’cause Diddy looking bad out here. I think he trying to get the heat on Jay.”

JAY-Z went ahead and issued a rare, public statement over social media about the issue, calling it “blackmail”. He challenged the reasons behind the allegations to file a criminal complaint, saying, “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?”
