Jay, who recently lost record for most successful rapper at the Grammys to Kendrick Lamar, has been mentioned in several cases.
The Epstein Files are investigative documents into the life and crimes of financier Jeffrey Epstein. He was imprisoned in 2019 and found dead in his cell that same year. Now the Justice Department has released half of the files, which consist of approximately 3 million pages, along with 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

They were named in a tip to the FBI, which was later filed. According to the FBI report, an anonymous victim alleged that she had been drugged and sexually abused multiple times over the years, and that her handler was Pusha (real name Terrence LeVarr Thornton). The report mentions that the ‘handlers’ used to befriend the victims and they were the ones who administered the drugs.
In a different part of the report, another alleged victim claims that in 2019 she woke up in a room with Jay (Shawn Carter) and Harvey in it. The report mentioned that the victim was drugged and had a cloudy memory. The files remain stressful because the mention of someone’s name is not evidence of a crime, and many documents and photographs include names of people whose connection to Epstein has not been determined.
Personalities such as Elon Musk, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and former US President Bill Clinton have also been mentioned in the files. Most of the images have been presented without context and without dates.
