Beyoncé‘s mother and sister may not be big fans of JAY-Z, but they are sticking by him amid the shocking allegations against him!
As you know, a woman sued Diddy in October, claiming he raped her during an afterparty in New York following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was only 13. She also claimed a female and male celebrity witnessed the assault and that the male star also raped her. The victim did not reveal the identities of the two celebs at the time. But flash forward to Sunday, and we learned who the guy was Diddy’s longtime pal, JAY-Z.

The Run This Town rapper has vehemently denied the rape accusations, even slamming her attorney, Tony Buzbee, for the “blackmail attempt.” He also questioned why a criminal case was never filed against him if the allegations were true:
“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?”
Ask and you shall receive! According to Buzbee, the woman may take his advice! If that happens, will Beyoncé and their family continue to support him? For now, it sounds like the singer is! Sources already claimed she has no plans to even leave Jay! An insider for Us Weekly on Wednesday also has reiterated that Beyoncé “believes that he’s innocent” and will stand by him through all this, saying:
“Beyoncé doesn’t tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Jay to her. She’s standing by him now. She’s upset that this is happening, but she believes that he’s innocent. Everyone in Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s extended family is trying to process this and [is] talking, but mostly everyone wants to be there for Beyoncé. If she needs to talk about it, her family is there for her.”
Beyoncé is not the only one who believes him when he says he did nothing wrong. Her mom, Tina Knowles, and sister, Solange, do, too! His mother-in-law’s eyebrow-raising like on an Instagram post about the rape accusation would say otherwise — though she claimed to have been hacked. Hmm. Although the two women think he is innocent, that does not mean they like him or his relationship with Beyoncé! The insider continued:
“Even though Solange and Tina aren’t the biggest fans of [Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s relationship], they don’t believe he was involved with this allegation of someone underage. They do not believe that is something he would ever have done.”
We all know why they probably aren’t the “biggest fans” of Jay! He cheated on Beyoncé! No one wants their family member to be with a cheater! Solange literally hit him in an elevator years ago because of it! Despite whatever issues they have with the Roc Nation founder, though, she and Tina are supporting him and Beyoncé. We even saw the family put on a united front earlier this week at the Los Angeles premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King. JAY-Z, Bey, Tina, and Blue Ivy were all together on the red carpet.
We’ll see how all this plays out and if Beyoncé and the family will remain on team Jay. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments!
