Rap mogul and entrepreneur Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000, alongside music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, an amended complaint obtained by NewsNation alleges.
The victim, identified as “Jane Doe,” alleges that the pair of stars assaulted her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty, NBC News first reported. She was invited by a limousine driver after the VMA awards in Manhattan in September 2000.
Originally filed in October 2024, the suit named only Diddy. Sunday’s amended complaint identifies Jay-Z as “Celebrity A,” who was accused of raping the 13-year-old while “Celebrity B,” a female, watched.
According to the lawsuit, once she was at the party, the girl was given a drink that made her feel “woozy.” She decided she needed to lay down, so she found a room that contained only a large bed, and no furniture of any kind.
