NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has broken his silence following the rape allegation against rapper and mogul Jay-Z.
Jay-Z’s company, Roc Nation, produces the Super Bowl halftime show – though the artist was recently accused of rape in a lawsuit brought against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
However, Goodell said Wednesday at a press conference that ‘the relationship [between the league and Jay-Z] is not changing.’
Jay-Z has furiously denied the rape allegation and said it was part of an extortion attempt against him
‘We are aware of the civil litigation and Jay Z’s strong response,’ also said.
A woman who previously sued Combs, alleging she was raped at the MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000 when she was 13 years old, amended the lawsuit Sunday to include a new allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault.
