The TV personality has a fiery response after people start to bombard him with calls amid claims regarding the power couple and their connection to the disgraced rapper.

  Jason Lee called out Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles in his social media rant. The TV personality had a fiery response after people started to bombard him with calls amid claims regarding the power couple and their connection to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs.

“Jay-Z, I know you’re watching because you got people calling me,” Jason said of the hip-hop mogul. “Stop having people call me. You can call me yourself, you know how to get my number. You got people calling me. Call me yourself because this right here is gonna go viral.”

He then said that if something happens to him, Jay-Z would be responsible for it. “I will tell you, to the audience, if I do come up missing, all the calls I’ve been getting have been about him,” he noted, though he clarified that he hasn’t actually received any threatening calls.

Jason apparently wasn’t the only celebrity who faced repercussions for dragging in Jay-Z and Beyonce to the legal drama involving Diddy. Piers Morgan recently revealed that the legendary artists’ lawyer, Alex Spiro, contacted him after he leveled serious accusations at the Carters in an interview with Jaguar Wright.

“Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyonce during that interview. As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have,” the British host said in the October 8 episode of his show, “Uncensored”. “Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were ‘totally false’ and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview.”

He continued, “Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyonce.”

Alex, meanwhile, confirmed to TMZ that he did contact Piers over the baseless claims made by Jaguar. Speaking on “TMZ Live” on Wednesday, October 9, the lawyer said, “There’s rumors and then there’s nonsense and this is one step further,” he said. “This is a pointed and formal accusation of something. I felt it needed to be responded to.”

He then clarified that he gave Piers an ultimatum, saying, “I think somebody reported it was a cease-and-desist. It wasn’t that. It was quite bluntly an ultimatum, which is to remove that false accusation that’s demonstrably false or a court’s gonna order you to. So, I think he made the wise choice and acted accordingly.”

In the interview, Jaguar asserted that “Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Kelly, Sean Combs have one person in common professionally and privately.” The “I Can’t Wait” singer then named Jay-Z as that person.
