A few days, ago Jaguar Wright gave right-wing conspiracy theorists a lot to work with on social media. The controversial crooner appeared on conservative media darling Piers Morgan’s Uncensored show and unloaded on the likes of P. Diddy, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, accusing them all of being in the same league of sadistic abusers in the music industry.
With many on social media having already accused Jay-Z of such acts following the arrest of P. Diddy, they viewed Wright’s comments as validation of their beliefs and immediately took to X (formerly Twitter) to boast about the segment and further call for the downfall of Hova and company. While Wright has been suggesting that Jay-Z is “worse” than Diddy for quite some time now, giving her such a platform to continue to spew her slander caught the attention of Jay-Z’s legal team who promptly informed Piers Morgan that he done f*cked up now.
On Tuesday (Oct. 8), Morgan took to his show and issued a public apology for Jaguar Wright’s comments on his broadcast and let everyone know that lawyers for Jay-Z told him to do so. Taking to his show, Morgan explained that regardless to whom or what, people like Jaguar Wright have built a following “with or without shows like mine” and acknowledged that she made some “serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
That’s when Morgan stated that Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s lawyers “contacted us to say those claims were totally false and have no basis in fact, and we therefore comply with the legal request to cut them from the original interview.”
Though Morgan said cutting segments out of his show is not something they practice, he did recognize that “There are legal limits on us too and we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
Yeah, Jay-Z-hating conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one. Morgan himself set it up in a way where he seemed reluctant to comply with the legal request but had no choice, so y’all already know how this is going to play out on social media.
