Jay-Z refuses to go into hiding despite the shocking allegations against him.
The “Empire State Of Mind” rapper, 55, held his head high while appearing at the premiere of Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” on Monday at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Jay-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter — seemed unfazed by the recently amended civil lawsuit accusing him and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a “Jane Doe” in 2000 when she was just 13 years old. The Roc Nation founder denied the “heinous” allegations, calling the lawsuit a “blackmail attempt.”
Jay-Z smiled alongside Beyoncé and their 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy on the red carpet for the movie, which features his wife as the voice of Nala. Even his mother-in-law, Tina Knowles, posed with the embattled star.
The family put on a united front, showing they are standing behind the Carter patriarch.
Sources with knowledge tell The Post that before the allegations, it was rumored that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were not planning to attend the premiere; however, they appeared to have a change of heart after the lawsuit.
The Post reached out to Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s team for comment.
