Jay-Z accused of raping teen with Diddy in civil suit: court filing
NEW YORK—Musician and producer Jay-Z was accused in a lawsuit submitted on Sunday of raping a 13-year-old with hip-hop star Sean Combs in the year 2000, court documents show, claims denied by Jay-Z.
An updated complaint in a civil case against Combs alleges that Jay-Z, whose name is Shawn Carter, and Combs raped the girl in September of 2000 at an after party of the MTV Video Music Awards.
“Another celebrity stood by and watched as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the minor. Many others were present at the after party, but did nothing to stop the assault,” the complaint reads.
“Carter has been with Combs during many such instances. Both perpetrators must face justice.”
Jay-Z had originally been identified in the complaint as “Celebrity A,” the update lawsuit states, accusing Carter of filing a “frivolous” counter suit. The plaintiff is not identified in the lawsuit.
‘Deplorable’
Jay-Z fired back at the lawyer bringing the case, accusing him of being “deplorable.”
“My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. 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,” said a statement published on X by Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation.
