Idk, but Jay-Z is looking a little nervous... 😬

Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) is mentioned in the latest batch of unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 31, 2026.

One anonymous tip describes an alleged victim being abducted from her home around 1996 and later waking up in a room—believed to be in Epstein's Florida mansion—with Harvey Weinstein and Jay-Z present, where Weinstein reportedly assaulted her digitally while her memory was clouded from drugs. The claim remains unsubstantiated and was not litigated.

Also for those saying Jay-Z didn’t know Harvey Weinstein in the 90s, Weinstein was an executive producer on Jay-Z’s documentary Backstage about his 1999 Hard Knocks Life tour, released in 2000.
