Jay-Z’s legal efforts to dismiss a case accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 have been denied by a judge in New York, with the judge in the case condemning a lawyer for the hip-hop mogul for aggressive tactics.

Jay-Z, whose given name is Shawn Carter, has denied the allegations, but the judge in the case used strong language in attacking his legal team’s actions.

“Carter’s lawyer’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,” Judge Analisa Torres wrote in the court order.

Carter’s legal team have been pushing for a dismissal of the rape claim. Torres said the court “will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it”.

      I don’t think you’re wrong and it’s weird the people in the comments are bothering to defend HIM.

            I think being a pedophile rapist makes Jay-Z ugly, no?

            It’s definitely him, but he’s also a billionaire so I guess the joke’s on me.

          Hide behind your anonymity whilst making petty comments.

          Jay-Z is an asshole, but i wouldn’t say he has a “face like a newborn baby crossed with a bloodhound”, there are plenty of good reasons to insult the guy and the best you could do was attack his appearance.
