Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean “Diddy” Combs at an afterparty following the Video Music Awards in 2000. Jay-Z denied the “heinous” allegations, calling the lawsuit a “blackmail attempt.”

According to NBC News, the league has prohibited all its players from any "violent gestures" that mimic "the firing of a pistol or a shotgun or a bazooka." Players can be fined for the gestures but it can also create a disadvantage during a game, resulting in a 15-yard penalty. Players are allowed to appeal the fines.
