Rapper 50 Cent has appeared to be the only high-profile celebrity to publicly react to reports that Jay-Z's name appeared in Epstein files.
Taking to Instagram, the rapper shared a couple of J-Zay photos and wrote, "Damn they got ya man jay in the Epstein files, I gotta do a doc on this sh!t."
50 Cent was the executive producer of "Sean Combs: The Reckoning", a documentary about Diddy.
It premiered on Netflix on December 2, 2025.
The four-part series explores the allegations against Diddy, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and multiple instances of sexual and physical abuse.
According to a document released by the US Department of Justice as part of Epstein files, a woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein in Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion while Jay-Z allegedly looked on.
The alleged incident happened in 1996, when the victim, whose name was redacted, said she was “abducted” from her home by a stranger, according to an FBI intake form dated July 2019.
She “later awoke in the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) while Weinstein had inserted his fingers into [redacted],” according to the unsubstantiated allegations.
