Kevin Liles<\/a> attempted to get ahead of a looming sexual assault allegation Tuesday (May 27) by releasing a statement accusing rapper Lady Luck<\/a> of trying to extort him for $30 million.<\/p>\n The longtime music executive said he received a letter from Shanell Jones\u2014known professionally as Lady Luck\u2014and her attorneys demanding a multi-million dollar payout or she would publish a book and file a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n Lady Luck allegedly threatened to claim that Liles groomed her 26 years ago, exposed himself and pressured her into oral sex while she was in his car.<\/p>\n Liles flatly denied the accusations and described them as a calculated attempt to damage his name. He even launched a website using Lady Luck\u2019s name, ladylucksownwords.com,<\/a> to combat the claims. <\/p>\n In addition to her social media posts, Liles and his team also decided to publish Lady Luck\u2019s criminal records. <\/p>\n \u201cNone of this ever happened,\u201d Liles wrote. \u201cHer threatened allegations are totally false. And they are contradicted by Ms. Jones\u2019s many public statements about me and her experience at Def Jam. Rather than pay her and her legal team, I am publicly addressing what I view to be an extortion attempt.\u201d <\/p>\n
