Rapper Jay-Z, Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of raping 13-year-old girl in civil lawsuit
Briefly

Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Sean "Diddy" Combs are accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at an after-party following the 2000 Video Music Awards, according to an amended civil lawsuit filed Sunday. The lawsuit incorporates several anonymous complaints by attorney Tony Buzbee, leading to a judge permitting the then-13-year-old to remain anonymous in her pursuit of justice. Carter was identified in the original complaint as Celebrity A.
In a statement on social media, Jay-Z vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that the lawsuit originated from a 'blackmail attempt' and challenging the motive behind it. He expressed his refusal to pay any settlement, indicating his commitment to clearing his name publicly: 'It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion.' He questioned the nature of a civil lawsuit versus a criminal filing for such serious accusations.
