STEPHEN A SMITH talks about JAY-Z

Stephen A. Smith has launched an passionate defense of his friend Jay-Z after the rapper was accused of raping a girl when she was just 13.

A woman who previously sued Sean “Diddy” Combs, alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000, amended the lawsuit Sunday to claim that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault.

The 24-time Grammy award winning rapper, producer and music mogul called the allegations 'idiotic and heinous in nature.
