This comes after his friend/ business partner, Diddy, was arrested on several counts of assault and trafficking, and it's alleged that he was with Hov when the abovementioned incident occurred.
Roc Nation released a statement, seemingly written by the 99 Problems rapper, and he claims that a lawsuit ain't one:
"You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all 'celebrities' are the same; I'm not from your world. I'm a young man who made it out of the projects of Brooklyn. We don't play these types of games.
"We have very strict codes and honour. We protect children; you seem to exploit people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable. I look forward to showing you just how different I am."
