Roc Nation Sued by Tony Buzbee for Paying Clients to Sue His Firm

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee and The Buzbee Law Firm filed a lawsuit against Roc Nation and lawyers Marcy Croft and Quinn Emanuel for “violation of various state laws, including barratry and impersonation of a public official,” the attorney announced Wednesday morning via a social media post..

Buzbee is currently representing over 100 clients in lawsuits against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for alleged sexual abuse. He is also the subject of two federal lawsuits recently filed by his former clients accusing him of fraud and other transgressions, which he claims are backed by Roc Nation in an effort to intimidate him and his firm to not pursue cases against Combs. The allegations come weeks after Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said his lawyer received a demand letter from Buzbee in relation to the lawsuits involving Combs.

“The Defendants overstepped, got sloppy, and stupidly got caught in their illegal scheme on tape,” Buzbee said in a statement. “We intend to cooperate with authorities to ensure all involved are prosecuted to the full extent allowed under Texas law.”

Roc Nation didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
