Jay-Z Accused Of Raping 13-Year-Old Girl In P Diddy Lawsuit, Rapper Responds
Jay-Z, an award-winning rapper and entrepreneur whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 allegedly along with his embattled colleague, Sean “P.Diddy” Combs.
The federal lawsuit was originally filed in October in the Southern District of New York, listing Combs as a defendant. It was refiled this Sunday to include Carter.
According to another news outlet, the lawsuit says a friend dropped Jane off at the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall. She did not have a ticket, and she approached various limousine drivers to try to gain access to the show or an after-party.
One driver, the lawsuit says, told her that he worked for Combs and that she “fit what Diddy was looking for.” He invited her to a party after the show and told her to return to his car later in the evening after he transported Carter and Combs, the suit says.
Later, the driver picked her up, and after 20 minutes they arrived at a white house with a U-shaped driveway, the suit says.
She had to sign a document she believed was a nondisclosure agreement on arrival — and did not receive a copy — to enter the party, which the suit says was filled with celebrities and people doing marijuana and cocaine
She was offered a drink that made her feel “woozy, lightheaded and felt [like] she needed to lie down,” the suit says, and she went into a room to rest.
Shortly afterward, the suit says, Combs and Carter entered the room with Combs saying, “You are ready to party!”
That’s when, she alleges, Carter removed her clothes, held her down and raped her while Combs and an unnamed female celebrity watched. She says Combs also raped her as Carter and the woman looked on.
The suit says that she was able to resist being forced to perform oral sex on Combs by hitting him in the neck and that he “stopped.”
After the alleged assault, the suit says, she “grabbed her clothes” and left. She made her way to a gas station, where she called her father, it says.
The accuser is seeking unspecified damages. The lawsuit is filed under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.
Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the suit, did not comment. After the reports became public, a detailed statement was published on X by Jay-Z’s label, Roc Nation.
Jay-Z called the allegations “idiotic” in a lengthy statement Sunday evening and alleged that Buzbee was engaged in unprofessional behavior.
“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.
These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”
“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people. I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age.”
