The film is scheduled for theatrical release on December 20.

Jay-Z's rape lawsuit

A woman has alleged in a lawsuit that she was assaulted after being taken to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000. She claims that Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z raped her while an unnamed female celebrity observed during the gathering at a residence in New York City following the annual music event.

Jay-Z has categorically denied these allegations, describing them as an attempt at blackmail. He stated, "What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!" He further expressed concern that these "heinous" accusations would affect his family, which includes his 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and his 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.
