JAY-Z has vehemently denied claims in a lawsuit that he raped a 13-year-old girl with Diddy back in 2000.
In the lawsuit, filed by high-profile lawyer Tony Buzbee on behalf of an anonymous client, Hov is accused of sexually assaulting the teenager at an afterparty following the MTV Video Music Awards which were held in New York City.
The lawsuit was originally filed in October with Diddy as a defendant and JAY-Z referred to anonymously as “Celebrity A.”
The suit was refiled on Sunday (December 8) and named Jay (born Shawn Carter) as a defendant, according to court documents viewed by HipHopDX.
The alleged victim claims that she was invited to an afterparty by one of Diddy’s drivers after being told she “fit what Diddy was looking for.”
After being dropped off at “a large white residence with a gated U-shaped driveway,” the girl was allegedly given a drink that soon made her “feel woozy and lightheaded, making her need to lie down.”
She claims that she found an empty bedroom to lie down in and later awoke to Diddy and JAY-Z entering the room along with an unnamed female celebrity.
JAY-Z then allegedly removed her clothes and held her down as he raped her while Diddy and the unidentified woman watched.
The suit claims that Diddy then raped the girl as Jay and the woman watched.
The girl eventually managed to escape by “hitting [Diddy] in the neck” when he tried to force her to perform oral sex on him, fleeing the party and reaching a nearby gas station where she was picked up by her father, according to the filing.
In a rare public statement issued by Roc Nation, JAY-Z blasted the allegations as well as Buzbee, who he called a “fraud” and claimed had tried to “blackmail” him.
“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?” the rap legend wrote.
“These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”
The statement also mentioned the impact that the lawsuit would have on Jay’s notoriously private family life: “My only heartbreak is for my family. 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.”
Hov further slammed Buzbee’s legal conduct by saying: “My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.”
Buzbee responded to JAY-Z’s statement on X, writing: “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. What he fails to say in his recent statement is my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation.”
He added: “Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me, but he has tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite impact. She is emboldened. I’m very proud of her resolve.
“As far as the allegations in the complaint filed, we will let the filing speak for itself and will litigate the facts in court, not in the media.”

The attorney was recently accused of extortion in a filing made by an anonymous male celebrity who now appears to be JAY-Z.
The suit alleges Buzbee is “shamelessly attempting to extort exorbitant sums from him” with the threat of litigation containing “entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault.”
Buzbee denied the claims and said the suit was an attempt to “silence” him.
For his part, Diddy previously denied the claims in the initial lawsuit, with his attorney saying: “Mr Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defences, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, man or woman.”
remember when that woman sued Trump for r*pe but couldnt recall when or where it took place & jury awarded her $80 million ?

I don’t believe her. Something seems off about her story. Why would any parents let their thirteen year old girl go to an adult party.
Do you really think that Diddy didn’t have underage girls and boys at his freak offs?
Unfortunately everybody who was around Diddy are going to face some allegations by some opportunistic gold diggers who are not afraid of anything to achieve their goals. And considering Jay’s fortune, he’s a good target. Don’t get me wrong: maybe Jay did some vile shxt that nobody has heard of yet but this rxpe story of a 13 years old with Diddy sounds a lot like some made up shxt to extort him some money.
@nasir jones you can hate me now but they’re coming for you next then.
I 100% agree. This person didn’t even include Jay-z when she filed her initial claim, then she added his name. If Diddy is proven not guilty it may be because of things of this. People who are trying to make a quick dollar are going to make people question the validity of the actual victims.
The name was always in the lawsuit, listed as “Celebrity A”. There’s also a female celebrity listed as “Celebrity B”. Her lawyer asked for a mediation from Celebrity A, which was denied. That’s when they revealed who Celebrity A was. It’s likely that the female Celebrity B agreed to a mediation which is why her name was never revealed
Its the beginning of Jay’s downfall and crumbling of empire he managed to build. Losing a civil case for this type of crime will destroy his career and life. Not a good look for Beyonce neither being married to a pedo, prolly divorce his ass to save her rep and livelihood.
Don’t concern yourself with wealthy people problems- get ready for work.
Human Race bro. Everybody works for somebody or something other than themselves. Sounded good though
all the seans and shawns are going down..u think diddy is going down alone..think again.
Can tell this site is on the take when they post the article of the response, but avoid headline of “Jay-Z accused of raping teenage girl alongside Diddy”. But it’s obviously a shakedown, otherwise as JayZ team said, make it a criminal complaint, not a lawsuit.
Sounds like a b.s. lawsuit meant to ruffle feathers since Diddys money is tied up… but seriously, what parent of a 13 year old let’s them be out, all night with no knowledge of where they are???
There’s lots of runaways in NYC. There’s also a lot of irresponsible parents out there
@Vivs There’s some 13 year olds who are gang members and have murdered people. A 13 year old trying to get into the VMA’s isn’t that shocking.
what is a lawyer doing with access to twitter x…………
hooray for bitch ass benderick🚮 completely destroyed the rap game forever. 🤔YOU NOT LIKE US – YOU A BUNCH OF ROTTEN F8GGOTS THEY CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT😔
I’m an overly sensitive little bitch who hasn’t stopped ranting about Kendrick beating my daddy Drake since the summer when the beef started. I spend my waking hours trolling my dislike for Kendrick on any article he’s mentioned because he hurt my little F@ggy feelings for saying such mean things about my daddy. I get my pussy hurt whenever you “Kendrick supporters” talk back to me and I have to go back and forth because I’m in my feelings like a woman. So I spend all this time using different names and upvoting myself because I’m a hypocrite loser who has no life outside of saying things about Kendrick Lamar on this website. My name is Great Greg, but you can call me Gay Greg…
Get Drake’s dick out your mouth and stop liking your own comments, you nerd

Just a little update for the 19 of you who tuned in a couple weeks ago. Best believe ALL of Bernie’s imaginary celebrity friends were packed tightly into Bernie’s mom’s garage to commemorate the occasion. They wouldn’t miss Barren Bern’s 47th birthday bash for the world. The legend 50 Cent even came through and sang “Go Shawty It’s Ya Birthday” to his bestie Bern which was the second biggest highlight of her super pitiful life. The first highlight of course being her 2.5 nanosecond cameo in 50 Cent’s OJ video like two decades ago. Hey Big Nose Bernie just like all your imaginary celebrity friends and soulmates, your imaginary non celebrity friends and soulmates and your beyond hysterical imaginary 6 figure a year income EVERYTHING YOU DO AND SAY IS 100 PERCENT PURE FICTION THAT EVERYONE AND THEY MAMA DOESNT BELIEVE AND LAUGHS AT. Your whole pitiful 47 year existence has consisted of pure fantasy and pure delusion and when the alarm clock goes off every morning and you wake up your mentally ill psychotic self still stays stuck in that world of fantasy and delusion. SCARY. Btw Barren Bern did your soulmate Sam give you any imaginary dick for ya birthday?
According to you there are plenty of other losers on X and LSA who agree with everything you say on top of having their own dirt. But you come here to seek validation from 19 people. That is what a self loathing failure would do.
Sounds like he’s talking to himself…

I feel sorry for that 13 year old girl. My opinion is entertainment has always been a mess. When you think about it what business,has rich people do dumb stuff? My conclusion is puffy is going to jail and jay-z needs to be careful. If any of these claims are true,I will no longer be a fan of hip hop and hope the culture is done with forever.
Oh so typical brack peopre behavior. Us asian people we hate brack man! 🤜🏻💥💩
If y’all believe this sht your part of the problem .that lawyer tried to scare Jay into a settlement and that sht didn’t work so he wrote something else trying to play victim by using his victim that lawyer bit off more then he can chew now he has to go threw with it after fking up now he bout to get a run for his money .
Innocent until proven guilty. That’s how I look at it. I’m not going to automatically think he’s guilty like some people. let this play out.
He did hit a teenage girl in the early 2000s so don’t think he ain’t no animal…please➖💥👈
