N.O.R.E. Denies Carmen Bryan’s 1999 Sexual Assault Allegations

Fans of Drink Champs and Noreaga were delivered shocking news when Carmen Bryan, Nas’ ex who shares a child with him, went public with allegations against N.O.R.E via lawsuit. the lawsuit claims the alleged incident took place during a celebration connected to N.O.R.E.’s album Melvin Flynt – Da Hustler. Bryan claims N.O.R.E. was intoxicated when he physically overpowered her and forcibly penetrated her with his fingers without her consent.

Bryan alleges that she repeatedly told him to stop before other people inside the nightclub intervened and pulled him away from her.

The lawsuit claims Bryan then ran outside while shaken and crying, but N.O.R.E. allegedly followed her and repeatedly asked, “Don’t you know who I am?” while continuing to make inappropriate comments.

Bryan further alleges that N.O.R.E. later apologized after realizing she was Nas’ girlfriend and the mother of his child. She also claims she told Jay-Z about the alleged assault and that he wanted to confront N.O.R.E., but she asked him not to become involved.

Now, N.O.R.E. is speaking out on the matter. Through his lawyer, Leonard F. Lesser, N.O.R.E. denied this ever happened.

“The allegations by Ms. Bryan about invented interactions with Mr. Santiago from nearly three decades ago are entirely false,” Lesser said in a statement. “We will defend Mr. Santiago from this legally groundless lawsuit and look forward to exposing Ms. Bryan’s fabrications in court as we clear Mr. Santiago’s good name.”

Lesser also claims Bryan has a history of salacious comments and fabrications, using her books, It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, From Seduction to Scandal–A Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All and her 2018 book Life After Child Support as examples.

The lawsuit is asking for accountability for Bryan’s decades of emotional trauma and public humiliation stemming from the alleged incident. Bryan has previously spoken to VladTV, who’s a rival of N.O.R.E.’s. Vlad trolled people by claiming he was funding Bryan’s lawsuit, but later in the video, he admits he has nothing to do with it.
