2026 Epstein Release: Rappers Pusha T and Jay Z Named in FBI Intake Report
Unverified allegations naming hip hop artists Pusha T and Jay Z have circulated online following the release of millions of pages of documents linked to the so called Epstein files.
The material forms part of more than three million documents released by the United States Department of Justice under new transparency requirements. Many of the records include crisis intake reports logged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during 2019.
These intake reports were collected by the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center after the death of Jeffrey Epstein, as authorities sought information from people who believed they may have been victims of abuse or trafficking connected to Epstein.
What the document contains
One intake report dated July 2019 has drawn attention after being shared on social media by several accounts. The document, which has not been independently verified, records allegations made by a caller and names multiple high profile individuals, including Jay Z, Pusha T, and convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
According to the text of the report, the caller alleged that she was abducted in the mid 1990s and later awoke in a location she believed to be Epstein’s Florida residence. She claimed she was assaulted by Weinstein and that Jay Z was present in the vicinity.
There are no publicly available records confirming that Jay Z and Weinstein were in the same location at the time described. The document does not state that the allegation was investigated or corroborated.
The same report includes a separate allegation relating to an event in around 2007. The caller claimed she attended a party after being invited by an unknown individual and alleged that Weinstein and Pusha T were present. She said she was drugged and sexually abused.
The caller also alleged that she was repeatedly drugged over several years and described individuals she referred to as handlers. Pusha T was identified by the caller as one of those individuals. These claims are recorded as allegations only.
Status of the allegations
The FBI crisis intake reports are records of information provided by members of the public. They are not charges, findings, or determinations of guilt. Anyone could submit information through the hotline, and many reports were never substantiated or followed up.
The document does not indicate whether the FBI investigated the claims, took further action, or found supporting evidence. It also notes that the caller said her memory had been impaired by drugs and that she declined to provide a permanent address.
The report includes no charges, arrests, or conclusions. It reflects a single account recorded during an intake process.

Context of the release
The documents were released as part of a broader disclosure of Epstein related files, many of which include raw tips, redacted statements, and untested allegations. The release has also included intake reports making claims about other public figures, including former US presidents.
Legal experts caution that such records must be treated carefully, as they often contain unverified information that never resulted in formal investigations or prosecutions.
At the time of publication, neither Jay Z nor Pusha T has commented publicly on the claims. No law enforcement agency has announced any investigation involving either artist in relation to the allegations described.
Importance of verification
The documents circulating online remain unverified excerpts from the wider release. Journalists and legal observers have stressed the importance of distinguishing between confirmed facts and unproven allegations contained in archival records.
The release of the Epstein files is expected to prompt further scrutiny and reporting. However, officials have emphasised that the presence of a name in an intake report does not imply wrongdoing or guilt.
As further information emerges, authorities and media organisations say careful verification will be essential before drawing conclusions.
