He captioned the image, “Jay said they said I rapped [sic] a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL.” Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, 55, attended the premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday night with his mother-in-law Tina Knowles, 79, to support Beyoncé, 43, who returned to voice Nala in the film. Blue Ivy Carter, 12, also lent her voice to the character of lioness cub Kiara.

The family's appearance on the red carpet came just a day after Carter was named in a lawsuit involving Sean "Diddy" Combs. The "Empire State of Mind" rapper has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV VMAs afterparty alongside Combs, but he has strongly denied these allegations, calling them "heinous" in an official statement. "I'm not from your world. I'm a young man who made it out of the projects in Brooklyn.

We don't play these types of games," Carter stated in a post on Roc Nation's X (formerly Twitter) account. "We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children; you seem to exploit people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists and fake physics will believe the ridiculous claims you have made against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable." Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, has also reacted to the shocking rape allegation against her son-in-law Jay-Z on social media. This deleted post isn't the first time 50 Cent has commented on the allegations against Carter.
50 Cent’s controversial social media post targeting Jay-Z following a rape allegation has sparked significant attention. By mocking Jay-Z's red carpet appearance just a day after the lawsuit surfaced, 50 Cent further fueled the ongoing drama between the two hip-hop moguls. Jay-Z, who has vehemently denied the allegations, responded with a firm statement, while his wife Beyoncé and mother-in-law Tina Knowles have also expressed support.
This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions in the hip-hop world, especially when personal and legal issues intersect with public life, leaving fans and media to speculate on the next chapter of this feud.
