Dr. Umar Johnson is the latest public figure to comment on JAY-Z being named in a lawsuit with Diddy, and he says that he is surprised by the accuser wanting a trial by jury, and he also believes that Diddy being continuously denied bail is due to “complete racism.”

While appearing on ‘The Art of Dialogue,’ Dr. Umar Johnson talked about JAY-Z being named in one of Diddy’s rape lawsuits and said, “Now, in the civil suit paperwork, according to Tony Buzbee, the woman’s attorney based in Houston, Texas, she demands a jury trial. That really caught me. I was surprised at that. She is demanding a jury trial. Why am I surprised? Because if she’s demanding a jury trial, she’s going to have to take the stand. She has to testify.”
Dr. Umar continued, “Remember, the only people who can plead the fifth are the people being accused of the crime. JAY-Z can plead the fifth. Sean Combs can plead the fifth because they are the defendants. She is bringing the case. Do you know what that means? She’s going to have to take the stand. And I’m saying to myself, ‘Are you sure you want to do this if it’s not true? And it could be true, I want to be honest about this. I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not. I’m gonna look at this from both sides.”
Dr. Umar went on, “And if the sista is telling the truth, I pray to God she gets every penny she wants. I pray to God that those who assaulted her get the worst karma that’s out here in the universe. Nobody should ever abuse a child. There’s nothing worse than a sexual assault of a woman. There’s no crime than a sexual assault of a woman. There’s no crime worse than the abuse of a child. And when you combine them all, sex assault of a female with sex abuse of a child, that’s the worst crime on the planet Earth.”
He continued, “So if that lady is innocent, I pray to God that she gets all the help that she’s entitled to. I pray to God that she gets every penny that she’s suing for, and any karma that comes to those who are responsible for that, they deserve it. So, I will never defend anybody against injustice. But, if she is fabricating this story, it’s going to come out on the stand.”
When asked how he felt about Diddy’s bail being denied at least three times, Dr. Umar Johnson blamed racism, but first repeatedly said, “That’s ridiculous.” He went on, “Puffy. Sean Combs being denied bail three times is unacceptable. How can he be denied bail three times and Vince McMahon ain’t never been arrested yet… for the same and worse? And Vince McMahon’s case is only one state away in Connecticut. So, it’s not like he’s on the other side of the country, they’re one state away. Puffy gets denied bail three times [and] Vince McMahon ain’t even been arrested.”
Dr. Umar continued, “You know why they’re doing this. This is all about intimidation. This is all about humiliation. Humiliation and intimidation. They are sending a loud message to Black celebrities: ‘You are not above the law. You have no more power than any other Black person. You will do what we say and if you don’t, we will destroy you.’ They’re showing us by destroying our Black billionaires [and showing] how much power the Black celebrity does not have.”
Dr. Umar Johnson went on to boldly call out “racism” in Diddy being continuously denied bail in federal racketeering and sex trafficking case. He said, “Racism. [It’s because of] complete racism that Puff has not been released on bail. Complete racism. He has children. Nobody’s thinking his children.”
Like he said for Diddy, Dr. Umar Johnson said the same for JAY-Z, noting, “Shawn Carter has children. Nobody’s thinking about his children. And when I look on the internet and just see all these Black folks tryna destroy them… Like, I see Black people convicting them before they even been tried in court. I ain’t talking about people who’ve been around them. I can’t speak to those in the music industry. I’m talking about regular, everyday, YouTube and struggle streamers saying, ‘Yeah, I know JAY-Z is guilty.’ How you know he’s guilty? How do you know the man is guilty? Was you there? Was you around him? How do you know?”

Dr. Umar continued, “I just hate the fact that we are so quick to cancel, dismiss, and humiliate our own, even without evidence, but, we don’t keep the same energy with White folks. Look at the cop who shot and killed Sonya Massey up in Illinois. He’s about to get out on bail. We’re not crashing out for that, though. Donald Trump didn’t put a single Black person [in] his Presidential Cabinet. We not crashing out for that.”
Dr. Umar Johnson added, “The stuff that matters, Black people are not crashing out for. But, we will crash out in support of JAY-Z being found guilty before he ever has a day in court. And like I said, I’m not on nobody’s side. I’m on the side of justice. I believe in due process of law. I believe everybody is innocent until proven guilty. And both Sean Combs and Shawn Carter have reasserted their innocence and until they’ve been proven guilty in a court of law, before a jury of their peers [and] with a preponderance of the evidence, I have no right to question them.”
