Jay-Z denied the “heinous” allegations, calling the lawsuit a “blackmail attempt,” and stepped out with his family in the wake of the legal battle. Diddy is currently behind bars awaiting his sex trafficking trial, scheduled for May 5, 2025.

The chorus to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ song “Do You Like It… Do You Want It,” which also features Jay-Z, asks a now eerily prophetic question: “Wanna know what it’s like to be me?”

Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a lawsuit Sunday of raping a teenage girl after an awards show more than two decades ago along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul facing federal sex trafficking charges and a wave of lawsuits alleging sexual assault.
