I want to follow up on a story we've been talking about on the podcast since last week and involves Jay Z. The One and Only JC, also known as Sean Carter, was attached to a civil lawsuit filed last week accusing him and Sean Diddy Combs of raping a thirteen year old more than twenty years ago. The alleged incident happened back in two thousand at an MTV Video Music Awards after party. Cardy immediately came out swinging to his defense, of course, saying criminal charges should be filed
against anyone who would commit such a heinous crime. His defense attorneys also filed motions to name the victim, who is now thirty eight years old, or to drop the suit altogether. Meanwhile, Carter's lead attorney, Alex Spiro pointed out inconsistencies in the alleged victim story, who sat down with NBC News last week in an exclusive interview. Among the inconsistencies he noted were the following. Jane Doe's description of the home doesn't match any of Sean Combe's properties at
the time. Spiro also says he ain't Dill claimed she snuck out the house to attend the VMA's and watched on a jumbo tron outside. Well, MTV did not construct the JumboTron for the two thousand VMAs. Again, this is all according to Jay Z's attorney, who spoke out today. Here's the point. What really really happened is that NBC News reported leading into the weekend that the alleged victim
admitted inconsistencies with what she had initially said. Now, she didn't come out and say that mean that what happened to her didn't happen in fairness to her, but there are inconsistencies. And as I said before, I'm not here to cast the spurgs on her or anything like that. That would be irresponsible. Nor am I here to cast the spurss on the lawyer. I'll leave Jay Z and his team to do all of that. What I said
to people is what I'll say one more time. I've known the man for twenty five years and I've never ever ever seen anything that would indicate that he would be guilty of such a thing. And some people are sitting up there saying, man, Stephen a full of it, which you mean you don't know me? All right? Fine, there are people that got family members that commit hainous
acts and they would have never imagined it. Fair enough, But folks are sitting there and they're talking about well, you know, stephen A. You mean, who the hell is he? And you talk about a friend. What kind of friend are you really? I'm known for twenty five years. I know O g wan is right hand, just as long I've known Michael Kaiser, I've known my boy spank, Gary Stevens. I've known plenty of people who have been around and they are befriended them. We've all been around each other together.
Not that I have to justify to anybody, but I'm gonna set the reconstrator one damn thing once and for all. This is stephen A baby. I'm not somebody working, and not to discredit anybody that does. Don't do this becaus long as you earn an honest living. I got nothing but mad respect for you. But I love how people talk to me like, oh my lord, I must be jock sniffing, And you know, because of the stars. Excuse me, I am a star in this business. This is what I do and I'm not working some nine to five
in the post office or somewhere elsewhere. I never get an opportunity to be around these people. These people had sports events all the time. I've gotten to know these people because they made it a priority to get to know me, because they love sports. I wouldn't accuse them of sniffing just because they wanted to get to know me. Just because you don't like my opinion or you might disagree with where I'm coming from, doesn't mean that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, or that
I have no connections with people. I have a connection with lots of people because I'm stephen A. Because my day job involves me working for the world Wide Leader, which everyone happens to watch. You see these cats when they in concert, whether it's a rap artist, it's a comedian, You see sports figures when they're performing. You just happen to see me every weekday over the number one sports network in the world, which by the way, is the
number one show for the last thirteen years. Coming this April, that would be me. So the next time y'all want to run your mouth and act like, oh my god, what does he know? Does he know jay Z or whatever? Yes? I know him, Yes I do, forty forty I used to go there religiously just to walk up Steve go in the back and hang out with him and the crew to watch games. I've known him for twenty five years, and I don't believe that he's capable of something like this.
That's all. I have no evidence. I'm not casting in these versions on the accuser or their lawyer or anything like that. I'm just telling you I got a right to speak up for somebody that i've known that long to say that's not what I see when I see him. And I'm a repeating end here by saying what I said to y'all last week. If someone would have ever accused me of such a thing, I would hope that people who have known me for decades would sit up there and say, hell no, not stephen A. Because if
they were quiet, it would hurt me. I'd be like, you have nothing to say in my defense, nothing, You just gonna leave me hanging like that. I'm not casting you the cast I'm not asking you the casters persons or anybody else. I'm simply saying, you just gonna leave me hanging like that. See, that's the punk ass world we live in now, where folks are literally scared to say. Remember, you're not casting. You're not sitting up there and saying
somebody is innocent. You're not saying somebody else is lying. You're not doing anything like that. You're saying, that's a friend that I've known for X amount of years. I don't believe that's in them. You can't say that. That's the punk ass world we live in where people scared because they worried about their jobs and everything else to
speak up for somebody. But then it was okay with Roger Goodell, and then that's the Football League put out a statement saying they're aware of the allegations, but they're still moving forward. We're working with Rock Nation to Jay Z with the Super Bowl halftime show. Then it was okay, soory to conglomerate the big fish, the mammoth that is the National Football League. They could speak up, that's okay. They just started doing business with JJ a few years ago.
But somebody that's been around it for twenty five years, can y'all full of it? Y'all are just full of it.
