Jay-Z and Beyonce ‘Fighting Back’ Against Alleged Diddy Association: ‘Lies and Conspiracy Theories’

Jay-Z is stressed and angry over claims he’s connected with accused sex trafficker P. Diddy – and Beyoncé’s standing by his side 100% while dealing with her own drama that’s brought the couple closer than ever, a source exclusively tells In Touch.

“There’s this bizarre conspiracy going around right now where people are saying celebrities have to thank Beyoncé in their speeches or they risk being punished,” the insider says. “It’s so ludicrous and out there that it’s actually quite funny, but what isn’t funny is all the darker stuff that they’re getting dragged into because of their association with P. Diddy over the years.”

P. Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, is currently in federal custody awaiting trial for racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of prostitution, following an formal charges by a federal grand jury news that a team of lawyers will be filing up to 120 lawsuits against Combs, on top of the numerous accusations he’s already facing from earlier in 2024.

Combs has denied the allegations, but the heap of allegations against the music mogul, 54, has gotten old friends in his orbit beginning to sweat. 

One of the attorney’s on the team filing the lawsuits against Combs, Tony Buzbee, confirmed that additional defendants will be added, saying, “The names that we’re going to name, assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we’ve been told, are names that will shock you.”

“They know who they are.”

While many long-term associates of Combs are anxiously holding their breath as mainstream and social media sleuths begin pointing fingers, a second source previously told In Touch that Jay-Z, 54, and Beyoncé, 43, have “remained conspicuously silent following news of Diddy’s indictment,” and that, “There’s already talk about what they knew and if it got out it could prove embarrassing.”

Combs and the Carters go back decades – specifically Jay-Z – who has extensive business and artistic ties to the accused rapist. However, the two industry titans often had disagreements in the early 2000s over their ventures and the first source notes that the “Empire State of Mind” rapper had grown distant from his former associate over the past few years.

“What P. Diddy has allegedly done is just plain evil and they have nothing to do with it, but that’s not stopping the assumptions people are making,” the source states. “At first, they were taking the stance that it was better to ignore it, but they’re now fighting back because they just can’t stand by and let their reputations get dragged into the mud over lies and conspiracy theories.” 

“Jay Z has ordered his lawyers to go after anyone trying to lump him in with P. Diddy with false accusations, that’s why he threatened to sue Piers Morgan for giving a platform to someone spreading those baseless claims.” 

The Marcy Projects native sicced his lawyer, Alex Shapiro, on U.K. presenter Piers, 59, after the host brought musician Jaguar Wright on his show, Uncensored, who accused Jay-Z of being a “monster” along with Diddy. Piers apologized to the Carters afterwards.

“He’s not going to let it slide,” the insider continues. “Beyonce is behind him 100% and trusts him completely. She has been very quick to say they will take on this B.S. together and he couldn’t be more grateful.”
