Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, has firmly denied any connection between his client and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing legal troubles.
Jay-Z’s lawyer clears the air on Diddy rumours
Speaking at a press briefing on the heels of the now-dismissed Tony Buzbee lawsuit, Spiro emphasised Jay-Z’s frustration with being unfairly dragged into baseless narratives that impact his family and professional reputation.
Addressing speculation that Jay-Z has ties to Diddy’s mounting legal issues, Spiro made it clear that any perceived association is entirely professional and blown out of proportion.
“Mr Carter has nothing to do with Mr [Sean ‘Diddy’] Combs’ case or Mr Combs,” Spiro stated.

“They knew each other professionally for a number of years just like in all professions. People know each other. At the music awards, they support each other. You go to the NBA All-Star game, they support each other, that’s just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them,” he explained.
He firmly added, “He doesn’t know anything about the charges or allegations against him. He has nothing to do with that case, and there’s nothing more to say.”
This latest statement comes just days after Jay-Z and his legal team successfully fought off a lawsuit brought by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, which was dismissed amid claims of fabrication and opportunism.
Spiro drew a direct line between the two incidents, describing Jay-Z’s growing frustration with public attempts to pull him into unrelated scandals.
“He’s upset. He’s upset that somebody would be allowed to do this, to make a mockery of the system like this,” Spiro said, referencing the recent debacle with Buzbee.
“He’s upset that this distracts and dissuades real victims from coming forward. He’s upset that his kids and family have to deal with this. He’s upset, and he should be upset.”
Spiro’s remarks seem to indicate that Jay-Z is exhausted with narratives that place him in the middle of sensationalised legal battles, overshadowing his professional achievements and personal life.
For years, Jay-Z and Diddy have been viewed as two pillars of hip-hop’s business elite, often seen together at awards shows, courtside NBA games, and industry events.
While their relationship has always appeared amicable, Spiro’s comments make it clear that any ties between them are surface-level and professional, with no connection to the allegations Diddy currently faces.
