The billionaire musician, who is married to superstar Beyonce, denies ‘heinous’ allegations, calling it a ‘blackmail attempt’.
American rapper and music producer Jay-Z has been accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old with hip-hop star Sean “Diddy” Combs in the year 2000, court documents show, a claim the artist strongly denied.
An updated civil complaint filed on Sunday alleges that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, as well as Combs, raped the girl at an afterparty following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000.
“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 described herein. Both perpetrators must face justice.”
Combs, who is also known as Diddy, is currently in jail facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
