Jay-Z, Beyonce, Blue Ivy emerge at Mufasa premiere after rape allegation surfaces

Embattled rapper Jay-Z and his famous family stepped out for the first time since bombshell rape allegations were made public.

Embattled rapper Jay-Z has stepped out with wife Beyonce and daughter Blue Ivy for the first time since bombshell rape allegations were made public.

The trio embraced each other, smiling on the red carpet at the world premiere of Disney’s Lion King prequel-sequel hybrid, Mufasa.

The film marks Blue Ivy’s feature film debut, lending her voice as Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala, the latter portrayed by her superstar mother.

Earlier this week, Jay-Z, 55, was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in an amended lawsuit from October.

On Sunday, the plaintiff, who filed as Jane Doe, revised her lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs to include Jay-Z.

In the lawsuit, the then-pre-teen alleged that she was raped by both rappers at a house party in 2000 while another female celebrity watched.

Jay-Z vehemently denied the “heinous” rape allegations, slamming lawyer Tony Buzbee for attention to “blackmail” him.

“What [Buzbee] had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” the dad-of-three told Page Six.

“No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”

The Rocawear co-founder, born Shawn Carter, urged the victim to “file a criminal complaint, not a civil one.”

He also said he is heartbroken that Beyoncé, and their kids, Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, will have to deal with this situation.

“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,” he said, referring to his pre-teen daughter.“

“I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.”

Those in attendance at the family’s red carpet appearance at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood could be heard yelling: “I love you Jay-Z”.
