Jay-Z stepped out with his wife, Beyoncé, and daughter Blue Ivy Carter after he was accused of raping a teenage girl in the early 2000s.
The family was all smiles as they posed on the red carpet at the premiere of Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Calif., on Monday night.
The “Empire State of Mind” rapper sported a brown suit, white button-up and black tie for the outing, while the “Texas Hold ‘Em” songstress donned a plunging black dress with gold dots.
As for Carter, she dolled up in a gold-toned ballroom gown and was hyped up by her famous parents as she posed solo, per E! News.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z beamed while watching their daughter work it on the carpet, as the latter appeared to wipe a tear from his eye, per “Entertainment Tonight.”
The family laughed while smiling for photographers and were joined by Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles.
Jay-Z’s outing comes after he and Sean “Diddy” Combs were accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV video music awards afterparty in the early 2000s.
On Sunday, the Grammy winner and Combs were listed in a lawsuit by an unnamed female, who claimed the duo attacked her.
The lawsuit was refiled to include Jay-Z’s name after it was originally filed in October with only the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper being named as a defendant.
Per the suit, the victim alleged she went to rest inside a bedroom after she was given a drink at the party and became “woozy.”
Jay-Z — born Shawn Corey Carter — and Combs then allegedly went into the bedroom and the latter raped the then-teenager after the “Young Forever” rapper took off her clothes.
An unnamed female celebrity was also allegedly present.
Jay-Z, however, denied the claims in a statement to Page Six, telling us a lawyer named Tony Buzbee was attempting to blackmail him.
“What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” he wrote.
“No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”
