Jay-Z’s lawyer expects the hip-hop mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, to soon be “cleared” from a lawsuit that accuses him and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a minor in 2000, he told NBC News on Monday. On Monday, Spiro distanced Carter from Combs, who faces federal criminal charges in New York of racketeering, sex trafficking and other offenses. Nobody wants to hear these things.”“We expect Mr. Carter to be cleared of this in the coming days,” he added. One driver told her that he worked for Combs and that she “fit what Diddy was looking for,” according to the lawsuit. The federal lawsuit was originally filed in October in the Southern District of New York, listing Combs as a defendant.
