Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

That's all random hearsay, it literally counts for nothing legally. Jay Z came from the ghetto, I'm sure he has done plenty of sketchy shit in his time.
But like why do you seem to think Diddy and R Kelly were going around bragging about their sexual perversions? They were coworkers in the same industry; I'm sure I have plenty of coworkers who have done heinous shit in their personal lives as well. But that doesn’t even remotely imply that I knew about it or was a part of it.
I don't think there is very much smoke at all, I haven't really heard any major accusations about Jay aside from this one. But also you're falling right into the trap. They would plan to accuse him because they know random people are going to use the heuristic of "where there's smoke there's fire", and generally assume that he is guilty without even a shred of evidence. They know people will see Jay Z and Diddy in the same headline about sexual assault and that's the only piece of information they'll remember from the whole article, assuming they even bother to read it. I'm going to bat for due process and common sense, two things which are in increasingly short supply nowadays.
Naive but you are entitled to your opinion and society will make their own judgements.
The beauty here is this lapring is about donr and plebs are ready with pitch forks for pedos celebs and parasitic executives.
You are spending a lot of time trying to defend some rich old pedo.
Why do you care anyway?
He ain't on working class team at all.
Not jumping up conclusions to confirm your own biases and assumptions is not naive, and the fact that you care more about whose "team" someone is on, than whether an accusation about them is actually true, exposes you as lacking integrity and real values, and not caring about actual justice.
It is a class war mate...
Lapring for a rich pedophile celebrity is not
Pathetic, get a clue
The implication that child molestation is something only/primarily rich people do is colossally ignorant.
You need several clues.
I never suggested such a thing... can you point me to where i said it was just them doing it?
