After much speculation and controversy, rapper Sean Diddy Combs has been arrested under charges of s*x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in pr-stitution. Amid this chaos, social media is busy dragging Jay-Z’s name. The rapper has pleaded not guilty, even though the charges against him have been filed without bail. The lawyers argued that he poses a risk to society so he should be released only via bonds.

The two rappers have been friends for decades, from collaborating on songs to being there for each other through thick and thin. Many images of the two have also surfaced at parties and functions.

Diddy and Jay-Z have seen many ups and downs together but remained friends through it all. Fans are wondering how this situation with the former’s arrest going to affect their friendship and if Jay-Z knew what was going on behind the scenes. Not only that, some bizarre instances are coming to light that hint at the skeletons in Jay-Z’s closet.

Reportedly, in 1999, Jay-Z stabbed a producer over an altercation at a record release party. There are two possible reasons behind the violence, one being Jay-Z’s feelings for another man’s ex-girlfriend, whereas some say it was because the producer leaked his album. Apparently, Jay-Z was not always the stand-up guy he looked like with his wife Beyonce on his arm.

It is also reported that Jay-Z may have fathered kids outside of his marriage with one paternity claim already pending against him. It was revealed in 2016 that a woman Jay-Z dated in the 90s has a kid named Rymir Satterthwaite. The singer has also allegedly paid a hefty sum to keep his name off the birth certificates of the children, but no official comments have been made by Jay-Z or his team.

Another bizarre claim against Jay-Z is that his marriage with Beyonce is merely a contract since the two are no more in love. This would explain how Jay-Z is able to party and be with other women without Beyonce batting an eye. It was reported that the two reign over the music industry as a power couple and who would want to lose that status?

It can be pretty harmful for Jay-Z’s career to have some involvement in the case. Nevertheless, we need to wait for the officials to investigate the matter and only then put forth our views. These baseless accusations about a well-reputed person in the industry can leave a mark on their legacy.
