Houston attorney Tony Buzbee is suing Jay-Z's Roc Nation, alleging the company is funding efforts to discredit his law firm amid ongoing lawsuits against Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Buzbee, who represents over 100 clients with allegations against Diddy, claims Roc Nation is backing two lawsuits filed against his firm by former clients. He alleges this is an attempt to intimidate him into dropping the Diddy cases.
According to Buzbee, investigators from New York contacted his firm's current and former clients. One client recorded a conversation where investigators allegedly offered payment in exchange for suing Buzbee's firm. The recorded transcript includes an investigator saying: "We could get you paid... We gave this kid 1,000 bucks to start yesterday just to get him on the right path."
The lawsuit, filed in Harris County Texas, specifically alleges that Roc Nation is financing efforts to convince dozens of Buzbee's clients to file frivolous cases against his firm. Buzbee claims this constitutes criminal activity under Texas law.
In response, a Roc Nation spokesperson dismissed the allegations, stating to The Houston Chronicle: "Tony Buzbee's baloney lawsuit against Roc Nation is nothing but another sham. It's a pathetic attempt to distract and deflect attention. This sideshow won't change the ultimate outcome and true justice will be served soon."
