So Jay-Z issued a statement to NPR saying that these claims are completely false. He publicly called Busby, quote, an ambulance chaser in a cheap suit and said that Busby attempted to blackmail him to extort settlement money. He also filed a motion for the anonymous lawsuit to be dismissed or for the plaintiff's identity to be disclosed.

So Busby is known for representing clients in high profile cases. He was the lawyer for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during his 2023 impeachment trial.

And it's not just the cases themselves that have garnered a lot of attention. Busby has also run for office several times in Texas. He self-funded a run for Houston mayor in 2019. And in 2023, he ran for city council. He ended up losing both of those races. His other professional ventures include property development and a short-lived, THC-infused seltzer company.

Yeah, that seems to be one of the big priorities for the Busby firm at the moment. Busby has insinuated that other famous celebrities may have been involved in the alleged crimes and may be named in future lawsuits. Here he is on a YouTube stream from that initial press conference in October.

And again, so far, all of the accusers have remained anonymous, which Carter and Combs lawyers have taken issue with. Combs attorneys have denied all of the allegations and have questioned Busby's credibility. At the same time, we know Combs is under federal investigation and has been indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty.
