Lawsuit Accuses Jay-Z of Raping Girl, 13, in 2000

Rapper Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a lawsuit on Sunday of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 allegedly along with Sean "Diddy" Combs, NBC News reported.

The incident took place, the anonymous accuser referred to as "Jane Doe" said, at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.

Jay-Z is the latest celebrity to be wrapped in a scandal involving Diddy, who was sued in federal court in October. The case was refiled Sunday to include Carter.

Tony Buzbee, the Texas-based attorney who filed the lawsuit, posted his comment to X Sunday evening: "Regarding the Jay Z case and his efforts to silence my clients: Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym.
