Jay Z was all smiles next to his wife, Beyoncé, and daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, as the family graced the red carpet at the premiere of Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King Monday night at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

Jay-Z was not allowed to attend the event

The rapper, who was accused of raping a teenage girl in the early 2000s, wore a brown suit with a white button-up shirt and black tie for the event, while his wife, Beyoncédazzled in a deep metallic dress. Carter was dressed in a beautiful gold strapless ballroom gown.

E! Online reports that the 12-year-old looked excited as her parents cheered her on as she posed solo on the red carpet.

Beyonce and Carter proudly watched as their eldest daughter embraced her moment, with the rapper seemingly wiping away a tear, as seen in a clip from Entertainment Tonight. Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, joined the family.

According to the insiders, the music icons initially skipped the event, but after the lawsuit they changed their minds. Both Beyoncé and her daughter voice acting roles in the highly anticipated film.

Jay-Z and Sean Diddy Combs have been accused of raping a minor

On Sunday, the 24-time Grammy Award winner and Diddy were named in a lawsuit accusing them of raping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000.

The lawsuit, initially filed in October, was amended to include Jay-Z as a defendant alongside the rapper initially called “I’ll Be Missing You.”

The lawsuit claims that after having a drink at the party, the alleged victim was allegedly put into a state of disorientation before going to a bedroom to recapture.

It is alleged that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter, and Sean Combs then entered the room and committed consecutive assaults. An unknown female celebrity was also reportedly present during the incident.

Jay-Z, like Diddy, refuted the allegations, claiming that Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee was trying to blackmail him.

“What he calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” he wrote. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you in a VERY public way for the fraud you are committing. So no, I won’t give you a single red cent!!’

Diddy’s legal team also called the lawsuit a “blatant publicity (stunt).”
