Shawn Carter was quick to react with a virulent press release published via his record company, the powerful Roc Nation label: “My lawyer received an attempted blackmail, called a letter of formal notice, from a “ lawyer” appointed Tony Buzbee. He considered that the nature of the allegations and the public attention [portée à ces accusations] would push me to accept an amicable settlement. No, sir, it had the opposite effect! This made me want to expose the crook that you are. These allegations are so heinous that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one! Anyone who commits such a crime against a minor should be locked up, don’t you agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case. »
