The complaint about Jay Z detailed something like ‘He later woke up to the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Sean Carter (Jay-Z) as Weinstein inserted his fingers…’.
In the case of Pusha T, the allegation was as follows – “…believed he was addicted to drugs, clouding his memory. The drug was often attributed to people employed as handlers, whom he described as people who befriended victims. Among his handlers, the artist identified Pusha T.”
