Texas state Judge Kristen Hawkins ruled on June 16 that the court did not have jurisdiction over Roc Nation in the claims brought by Gerardo Garcia, Jose Maldonado, and the Buzbee Law Firm.
The lawsuits stemmed from a now-amended civil suit alleging Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty. Jane Doe voluntarily dismissed the suit against Jay-Z with prejudice in February 2025.
Buzbee originally filed suit in December 2024. He accused Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s law firm Quinn Emanuel, and attorney Marcy Croft of using “shadowy operatives” and financial incentives to convince Buzbee’s former clients to file “frivolous” lawsuits against him.
Roc Nation responded at the time by calling the lawsuit “another sham.”
The court dismissed all claims because the plaintiffs failed to establish a basis for the Texas court to hear the cases. However, the judge noted the claims could potentially be refiled elsewhere.
Bad Gambina and SolDémon must have worked some mother-daughter juju to release Cray-Z from all his legal troubles by releasing his head from that hair nest.
