292: Breaking Down Jay-Z’s PR Strategy In His Statement Denying Allegations

Transcript

WEBVTT

00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:05.413
First and foremost, this was a statement that said he is denying all the accusations.

00:00:05.413 --> 00:00:09.971
It was bold, it was fiery and he thought it was absurd and idiotic.

00:00:09.971 --> 00:00:14.211
He wanted to frame it as something that had no merit whatsoever.

00:00:14.619 --> 00:00:19.612
The next part of this is he actually took aim at the other attorney and very specific jobs.

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:21.967
Hey there, welcome back to the PR Breakdown.

00:00:21.967 --> 00:00:45.771
I'm your host, molly McPherson, and if you can't tell, this week we are going to break down Jay-Z's PR strategy in his statement, where he denies the allegations from a civil lawsuit that was amended to include his name, with the original person tied to the lawsuit, and that would be Sean Diddy Combs.

00:00:45.771 --> 00:00:59.549
If you spend any time on Instagram, youtube or TikTok, there have been a lot of rumors and rumblings out there that Jay-Z was going to be tied into this entire Diddy mess.

00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:06.700
In fact, the attorney who filed the civil lawsuit against Jay-Z had a press conference back in October.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:14.884
Many powerful names will come out and that attorney delivered because Jay-Z was one of those names.

00:01:15.204 --> 00:01:16.066
Now for the podcast.

00:01:16.066 --> 00:01:17.792
I'm going to do something different.

00:01:17.792 --> 00:01:23.948
I'm going to use two pieces of content to compile the podcast.

00:01:23.948 --> 00:01:44.245
I want to pull pieces from a Forbescom article that I wrote on Monday morning about Jay-Z's statement, inspired by a text that I received on Sunday evening from an Access Hollywood producer who I have worked with a number of times in the past.

00:01:44.245 --> 00:01:50.608
But when she's texting me on a Sunday night, I thought, hmm, this must be a big story, and it definitely was.

00:01:50.608 --> 00:01:53.341
It was Jay-Z being named in this lawsuit.

00:01:53.341 --> 00:01:58.704
That meant the next morning I would have to wake up and do an interview with Access Hollywood, which is fine.

00:01:58.704 --> 00:02:00.070
I certainly don't mind doing it.

00:02:00.070 --> 00:02:01.215
It's a great opportunity.

00:02:01.215 --> 00:02:03.322
Love working with Lauren, this producer.

00:02:03.322 --> 00:02:11.429
But it meant that I had to get ready and be camera ready, which changes the flow of my morning when you know you have to be on the air.

00:02:11.429 --> 00:02:19.998
But I also knew that I needed to write an article about his statement, especially if I was going to be on Access Hollywood.

00:02:19.998 --> 00:02:26.703
I had to put the two together, and so why not take two pieces of content and throw them in the podcast as well?

00:02:26.703 --> 00:02:29.830
So I'm going to read excerpts from the article.

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:33.103
Then I'm also going to add clips from this interview.

00:02:33.103 --> 00:02:33.563
Now.

00:02:33.563 --> 00:02:40.406
Lauren shared the interview with me last night and as I was watching it I thought this is different.

00:02:40.406 --> 00:02:41.909
Like where's Mario Lopez?

00:02:41.909 --> 00:02:43.580
Why am I hearing Lauren's voice?

00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:48.735
And then I realized what she was sending me was the full tape of our interview.

00:02:48.735 --> 00:02:50.520
That's the first time they've ever done that.

00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.025
So it's an extended interview.

00:02:52.025 --> 00:02:57.262
So I'm just going to use clips from the interview and I'm going to put them in the podcast.

00:02:57.361 --> 00:03:01.007
So let's jump in now to the statement from Jay-Z.

00:03:01.007 --> 00:03:07.054
I have a link in the show notes to the tweet from Roc Nation.

00:03:07.054 --> 00:03:18.181
Lauren told me that Jay-Z posted the statement originally to his account on X but then quickly deleted it and then left it on Roc Nation.

00:03:18.181 --> 00:03:23.012
I said right away yeah, I think so, based on the statement.

00:03:23.012 --> 00:03:25.480
Jay-z definitely had a heavy hand in the statement.

00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:31.846
He may have written the entire thing and perhaps it was only vetted by his lawyer or by his team.

00:03:31.846 --> 00:03:48.588
I would assume if something went up on a personal account and then came down, probably put it up there himself and perhaps legal counsel or someone else told him no, put that down, because we don't want to drive all the traffic to your personal account, let's just drive it to your business account, rock Nation.

00:03:48.588 --> 00:03:50.199
So I think that was good counsel.

00:03:50.199 --> 00:04:02.050
I won't read the entire statement in the sum, but I will read the parts as I tie in clips from this interview and then also what I wrote in Forbes.

00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:10.221
So first, jay-z's PR strategy Bold, fiery, calculated.

00:04:10.221 --> 00:04:11.402
Jay-z did not hold back in this statement.

00:04:11.402 --> 00:04:15.670
This was not a lawyer-approved statement whatsoever.

00:04:15.670 --> 00:04:22.687
It was a unfiltered counterpunch that was meant to discredit the lawsuit.

00:04:22.687 --> 00:04:28.740
He also wanted to take direct aim at Tony Busby, the attorney who filed it.

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:30.985
He wanted to flip the narrative.

00:04:30.985 --> 00:04:38.601
He wanted it to be about Jay-Z the victim, not Jay-Z the perpetrator.

00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:51.927
So, breaking down the different strategies that I saw within this statement, the first piece of it was the no nonsense denial I wrote in the article.

00:04:51.927 --> 00:04:53.930
Jay-z didn't mince words.

00:04:53.930 --> 00:05:03.182
He set the tone with direct and uncompromising language, calling the allegations absurd and labeling the lawsuit a blackmail attempt.

00:05:03.182 --> 00:05:05.213
This wasn't a passive denial.

00:05:05.213 --> 00:05:11.274
It was a flat-out rejection meant to show confidence and to make the accusation seem baseless.

00:05:11.274 --> 00:05:25.072
So defending himself was definitely part of the plan, but really the objective underneath was to do a full attack and reshape the narrative around him, and that's the second strategy I saw.

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:31.192
This isn't just a legal battle for Jay-Z, it's also a battle of wits and ego.

00:05:31.192 --> 00:05:40.355
In the statement, jay-z made a point to direct a lot of the accusation and lobs at the attorney, tony Busby.

00:05:40.355 --> 00:05:45.043
What Jay-Z wanted to do was poke at him, get under his skin.

00:05:45.043 --> 00:05:52.889
He made fun of Busby's former active duty service, you know, poking at him as a former Marine, stating that Marines wouldn't act this way.

00:05:52.889 --> 00:05:58.834
He also went so far as to call him an ambulance chaser, but also to make fun of his wardrobe.

00:05:58.834 --> 00:06:01.237
When it's a clash of two egos.

00:06:01.237 --> 00:06:05.841
It's not surprising that Jay-Z is going to throw some jabs in there to get under his skin.

00:06:05.841 --> 00:06:09.168
It was attacking the attorney, tony Busby.

00:06:09.168 --> 00:06:12.141
Busby is a personal injury attorney out of Houston.

00:06:12.141 --> 00:06:18.115
He is the person behind the 120 lawsuits against Sean Diddy Combs.

00:06:18.115 --> 00:06:24.692
He amended one of those lawsuits against Sean Combs and added Jay-Z.

00:06:24.692 --> 00:06:39.490
This attorney did come out and say that there would be powerful names coming from these lawsuits and he absolutely delivered when he named Jay-Z Now Tony Busby.

00:06:39.490 --> 00:06:46.190
He is an attorney who understands the press, he is media savvy and he understands Internet culture.

00:06:46.190 --> 00:06:52.509
He understands how to sway public opinion and that's why Jay-Z, I think, is threatened by this guy.

00:06:52.720 --> 00:07:01.033
Like listen to this language from Jay-Z in the statement quote my lawyer received a blackmail attempt called a demand letter from a quote lawyer named Tony Busby.

00:07:01.033 --> 00:07:06.903
What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.

00:07:06.903 --> 00:07:10.529
No, sir, it had the opposite effect.

00:07:10.529 --> 00:07:16.108
It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a very all caps public fashion.

00:07:16.108 --> 00:07:22.709
So no, I will not give you all caps, one red penny, banger, banger.

00:07:22.709 --> 00:07:23.271
Here's more.

00:07:23.271 --> 00:07:27.144
I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human, mr Busby.

00:07:27.144 --> 00:07:32.283
Big words considering what the allegations are against this 13-year-old and all the other victims.

00:07:32.283 --> 00:07:36.982
But I promise you I have seen your kind many times over I'm more than prepared to deal with your type.

00:07:36.982 --> 00:07:38.663
You claim to be a Marine.

00:07:38.663 --> 00:07:40.567
Marines are known for their valor.

00:07:40.567 --> 00:07:42.790
You have neither honor nor dignity.

00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:44.454
Now, I thought this was so interesting.

00:07:44.454 --> 00:07:48.968
I feel like it's very Aaron Sorkin-esque writing.

00:07:48.968 --> 00:07:55.206
I can picture Jay-Z like sitting in the stand a la Colonel Jessup, played by Jack Nicholson.

00:07:55.206 --> 00:07:58.454
You can handle the truth, it's so personal.

00:07:58.454 --> 00:08:01.644
But here we have two egos that are clashing.

00:08:01.644 --> 00:08:09.961
Tony Busby is coming in hard and so is Jay-Z, and Jay-Z is trying to pin him down.

00:08:10.403 --> 00:08:13.470
Another strategy for Jay-Z challenging the accuser.

00:08:13.470 --> 00:08:21.331
Now Jay-Z doesn't flat out say the accuser's lying, but he tries to poke holes in the credibility of Busby's motives.

00:08:21.331 --> 00:08:25.091
Jay-z is not going to say anything to the victim, especially if what the victim says is true.

00:08:25.091 --> 00:08:27.742
Jay-z is not going to say anything to the victim, especially if what the victim says is true.

00:08:27.742 --> 00:08:31.588
Jay-z is not going to go, you know, at the Jane Doe.

00:08:31.588 --> 00:08:38.480
Instead he's going straight for Busby and he said quote whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away.

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.504
Would you not agree?

00:08:40.504 --> 00:08:41.846
End quote.

00:08:41.846 --> 00:08:49.424
And I thought that's interesting to hype all that drama without mentioning the fact that it's not even a criminal case.

00:08:49.424 --> 00:08:50.527
It's a civil case.

00:08:51.187 --> 00:09:02.764
So this is the part of the statement where Jay-Z starts to reveal, I think, his mindset, and the mindset of a defensive person is a person who's protecting their guilt.

00:09:02.764 --> 00:09:07.284
Everything about this statement says he's guilty and that he's hiding.

00:09:07.284 --> 00:09:26.668
Because there's certain markers of a statement that is revealing truth it's whenever there is blame, whenever there is a boldness that shouldn't be there or outweighs whatever the accusations are.

00:09:26.668 --> 00:09:35.788
Because imagine how you would react if someone accused you of this and you were innocent.

00:09:35.788 --> 00:09:37.652
I mean, think about that.

00:09:37.652 --> 00:09:43.148
These are incredible, heinous allegations.

00:09:43.268 --> 00:09:45.712
Jay-z's right, the allegations are heinous.

00:09:45.712 --> 00:09:55.533
But if it wasn't true and someone labeled this against you, would you scream and yell and attack the attorney?

00:09:55.533 --> 00:09:58.580
I mean, it seems reasonable, right?

00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:07.509
Or would you have more of a feeling like where you're just shaking your head and saying have more of a feeling like where you're just shaking your head and saying what are you talking about?

00:10:07.509 --> 00:10:10.553
There is no truth to any of this whatsoever.

00:10:10.553 --> 00:10:12.875
None, I wasn't there.

00:10:12.875 --> 00:10:20.701
I can prove that I wasn't there.

00:10:20.701 --> 00:10:21.302
I had nothing to do with this.

00:10:21.302 --> 00:10:31.828
It's crazy right Like that's what probably an innocent person would do, but it's often the guilty who bring in emotion and irrational thinking and writing into these statements.

00:10:31.828 --> 00:10:37.745
He keeps going after the lawyer and the next strategy was humanizing himself.

00:10:37.904 --> 00:10:41.660
Then he goes into kind of humanizing himself, and now this is where he brings up.

00:10:41.660 --> 00:10:43.024
He brings up his family.

00:10:43.024 --> 00:10:44.528
So talk to me about that.

00:10:45.089 --> 00:11:00.912
In a fiery statement specifically with these types of allegations, it's not surprising that Jay-Z would choose to humanize himself, and the quickest way to do that for Jay-Z is to bring in his family, namely his wife Beyonce, who carries a lot of star power with her as well.

00:11:00.912 --> 00:11:10.546
There are a lot of people on social media who are not happy about the fact that Jay-Z brought in his wife Beyonce and their children, blue Ivy and the twins Rumi and Sir.

00:11:10.546 --> 00:11:33.157
Jay-z did that to bring in Beyonce's star power, to add that protective layer, but wanted to be relatable by mentioning the kids and and made a point of saying you know it was an attempt for people to feel sorry for him and his family.

00:11:33.157 --> 00:11:38.509
These are words from the statement quote my only heartbreak is for my family.

00:11:38.509 --> 00:11:51.490
My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims and explain the cruelty and greed of people.

00:11:51.490 --> 00:11:54.865
Do you think that's what Blue Ivy's friends are thinking?

00:11:54.865 --> 00:11:57.753
How greedy the lawyer is?

00:11:57.753 --> 00:12:02.365
No, this has been buzzing around social media for a long, long time.

00:12:02.365 --> 00:12:09.503
I guarantee you Blue Ivy's friends and Blue Ivy's friend's parents have been talking about this plenty.

00:12:10.125 --> 00:12:11.149
Okay, back to the statement.

00:12:11.149 --> 00:12:14.077
I mourn yet another loss of innocence.

00:12:14.077 --> 00:12:17.308
Children should not have to endure such at their young age.

00:12:17.308 --> 00:12:24.610
It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.

00:12:24.610 --> 00:12:25.952
Isn't that interesting?

00:12:25.952 --> 00:12:30.044
Malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.

00:12:30.044 --> 00:12:33.159
Isn't that interesting when Jay-Z talks about the heartbreak for his family and that he and Beyonce are going to have to sit the children down?

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:35.044
You know, talk to Blue Ivy.

00:12:35.044 --> 00:12:37.052
You're going to talk to her.

00:12:37.052 --> 00:12:43.447
You're going to talk to your daughter about the lawyer, what the lawyer's doing.

00:12:43.447 --> 00:12:48.114
You mean his job coming after guilty people.

00:12:48.114 --> 00:12:51.486
You're not going to talk about the fact that your father's, you know.

00:12:51.486 --> 00:13:05.630
You're not going to talk about the fact that someone that your parents have been tied to for a long time will probably be in prison for a long time, like the rest of his life, being charged with 120 civil lawsuits.

00:13:05.630 --> 00:13:08.586
Who's currently in prison for what he's done to women.

00:13:08.586 --> 00:13:10.402
You're not going to talk about any of that.

00:13:10.402 --> 00:13:11.644
But you're going to talk about a lawyer.

00:13:11.644 --> 00:13:15.964
He misses the mark here by a mile.

00:13:15.964 --> 00:13:20.355
This is the most unrelatable part of his entire statement.

00:13:20.556 --> 00:13:25.730
Do you think that she might be handling this a little bit more like how we're seeing Trisha on Garth and staying silent?

00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:27.104
What do you think that you're going to see here?

00:13:27.104 --> 00:13:27.907
What?

00:13:27.967 --> 00:13:46.062
Beyonce does from a strategic public relations point of view is really up to Beyonce herself, because, yes, on the one hand, she is the wife of Jay-Z and when a spouse is facing legal trouble, certainly it's going to impact the wife's brand.

00:13:46.062 --> 00:13:49.485
However, there's a lot of subtle accusations out there as well.

00:13:49.485 --> 00:13:51.389
What did Beyonce know?

00:13:51.389 --> 00:13:52.351
When did she know it?

00:13:52.351 --> 00:13:54.083
Does she know anything at all?

00:13:54.083 --> 00:14:05.469
So Beyonce not only has to look at the reputational risks of speaking out, but also the potential legal risks of coming out and saying something that could implicate her or her husband, jay-z.

00:14:05.469 --> 00:14:15.250
And finally, the strategy that is as weak as bringing in his family Okay, and not to mention bringing in Beyonce.

00:14:15.250 --> 00:14:27.518
She has subtly and not so subtly referenced Jay-Z's infidelity and treatment of her through her music, the album Lemonade.

00:14:27.518 --> 00:14:35.813
She referenced what he did to her and the infidelity, and plenty of social media users are pointing it out.

00:14:35.813 --> 00:14:40.870
And Jay-Z came out in a Vogue article and admitted that he cheated on Beyonce.

00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:50.484
None of this is surprising, I don't think, to anyone, but for him to leverage the family against that again makes no sense whatsoever.

00:14:50.484 --> 00:14:58.754
So tying that into the last strategy that I'm noticing at least, that I mentioned in this article and that is playing the victim.

00:14:58.754 --> 00:15:09.754
Jay-z positions himself as the real victim, which is so incredibly off the mark when you think about what the accusation is.

00:15:09.754 --> 00:15:24.212
The girl who's now in her 30s was 13 years old when and is alleging that Jay-Z and Sean Combs sexually assaulted her after feeding her drugs through a drink.

00:15:24.212 --> 00:15:25.333
Feeding her drugs through a drink.

00:15:25.333 --> 00:15:40.278
So he's trying to separate himself clearly from the charges doesn't even come close to it but also trying to separate himself from the target, which he views as a celebrity, like they're only coming after him because he's a celebrity.

00:15:40.278 --> 00:15:48.350
So he is describing himself as a quote young man who made it out of the projects of Brooklyn, and he added this, saying quote we don't play these types of games.

00:15:48.350 --> 00:15:50.594
We have very strict codes and honors.

00:15:50.594 --> 00:16:04.980
So, again, sounding very much like he's straight out of an Aaron Sorkin script, he's sending perhaps a subtle threat, I don't know like someone who grew up in a part of Brooklyn and you don't want to mess with him.

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:07.681
Also describing himself as a young man.

00:16:07.681 --> 00:16:09.024
He's 56 years old.

00:16:09.024 --> 00:16:14.153
He's not a young man and he also has a net worth of $2.5 billion.

00:16:14.153 --> 00:16:17.546
That is so incredibly out of sync with reality.

00:16:17.546 --> 00:16:20.873
Most celebrities do not have $2.5 billion.

00:16:20.873 --> 00:16:21.841
So he's correct.

00:16:21.841 --> 00:16:24.368
He has separated himself from other celebrities.

00:16:24.368 --> 00:16:26.373
He's even a bigger celebrity.

00:16:26.373 --> 00:16:28.523
He has separated himself from other celebrities.

00:16:28.523 --> 00:16:30.808
He's even a bigger celebrity and he's married to a huge celebrity.

00:16:30.808 --> 00:16:32.251
The two of them together are icons.

00:16:32.251 --> 00:16:35.640
So those last two parts do not play well at all.

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:37.424
So will it all pay off?

00:16:37.424 --> 00:16:41.173
Well, I soft stepped it a little in the Forbes article.

00:16:41.173 --> 00:16:52.609
I'll admit that, like I didn't want to come in hard and accuse a guy of being guilty, I just wanted to point out the strategies that he was using, and this statement is anything but subtle.

00:16:52.609 --> 00:16:58.692
He is not sticking to a careful, polished, lawyer-approved statement.

00:16:58.692 --> 00:17:02.246
It is more of a hodgepodge kitchen sink.

00:17:02.246 --> 00:17:06.506
I'm going to throw everything in it so no one will believe these charges.

00:17:06.506 --> 00:17:08.881
I have to get this off my back.

00:17:09.903 --> 00:17:14.151
But all in all, me personally, I don't think it works.

00:17:14.151 --> 00:17:18.825
There are far too many red flags in this statement.

00:17:18.825 --> 00:17:41.922
That points to someone who is trying to hide guilt, deflect guilt Within the words of a statement, or even if you hear the statement, if it's on video, if there's a bold denial, defiant denial, mixed with blame, it's often shielding guilt.

00:17:41.922 --> 00:17:49.026
You don't have to scratch too far into the surface there to find that guilt, and I don't have any doubt.

00:17:49.026 --> 00:17:59.712
I don't have any doubt that this is going to stick to Jay-Z and it's going to drag Beyonce into all of it as well.

00:17:59.712 --> 00:18:05.896
And even Lauren, the producer with Access Hollywood.

00:18:05.896 --> 00:18:08.362
She wrote to me again and you know she had asked me.

00:18:08.362 --> 00:18:16.535
You know what is going to happen when Jay-Z and Beyonce have to make a public appearance.

00:18:16.535 --> 00:18:18.125
What about the Grammys?

00:18:18.125 --> 00:18:19.265
What about movie premieres?

00:18:19.265 --> 00:18:23.026
And I said, oh, this guy's not hiding from anything, you are definitely going to see them.

00:18:23.026 --> 00:18:27.141
24 hours later, ding there, he is there.

00:18:27.141 --> 00:18:31.952
She is next to her mother, ms Tina Knowles, and Blue Ivy as well.

00:18:31.952 --> 00:18:33.522
So extending.

00:18:33.623 --> 00:18:40.876
How do we look at this play in the long term for both Jay-Z and Beyonce through that, Because obviously Beyonce is very big for Grammys too.

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:45.883
When there is a celebrity crisis, I mean certainly they are not as sure-footed in their claims.

00:18:45.883 --> 00:19:15.814
However, based on his statement, it is likely that Jay-Z is going to be very bold over the next few months.

00:19:15.814 --> 00:19:19.720
No one really knows if Jay-Z and Beyonce will show up at the Grammys.

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:31.426
Certainly, if the statement is any indication, jay-z is taking a very bold approach to his persona right now, so it's likely that they probably will appear.

00:19:31.426 --> 00:19:40.329
They may not make any statements, they won't talk to any reporters, but they want to show likely a united front, and also a very strong one.

00:19:40.329 --> 00:19:47.607
He is denying all of these claims, so he's denying it now and he'll likely deny it in February at the Grammys.

00:19:48.189 --> 00:19:50.692
Bold question Is all of this going to work?

00:19:50.692 --> 00:19:53.284
The statement that he's made, how is all this going to play out?

00:19:53.284 --> 00:19:56.451
Is he done, at least in court of public opinion right now?

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:59.263
Public opinion is fluid.

00:19:59.263 --> 00:20:09.967
It comes and goes based on what social media is saying and based on what the press is saying, but I think for Jay-Z and for Beyonce, the most important court is a legal one.

00:20:09.967 --> 00:20:12.873
Jay-z's name is tied to Sean Combs' name.

00:20:12.873 --> 00:20:27.070
However, the Sean Combs brand is more of the bad boy, whereas Jay-Z and Beyonce have separated themselves in their celebrity to be more of a principled and respected couple.

00:20:27.070 --> 00:20:43.886
It's a waiting game to determine if Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce will be penalized for this civil court case, but certainly likely there will be a pause in any other accolade or award bestowed on the couple until the legal case is finished.

00:20:43.886 --> 00:20:50.926
In a celebrity public relations crisis, what typically happens is the talent is separated from the reputation.

00:20:50.926 --> 00:20:59.609
In some cases, an artist might still go on to sell albums because they have hardcore fans who still want to support them.

00:20:59.609 --> 00:21:15.904
However, for the institutions and the organizations out there that have to worry about their own reputations, it's likely that they will not align themselves with the couple until the legal court case is finished.

00:21:15.904 --> 00:21:17.367
So thanks for listening to this week.
