Jay-Z and Diddy Sued for Alleged 2000 Rape of 13-Year-Old Girl
A federal lawsuit, initially filed in October and amended Sunday, accuses Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000. The anonymous plaintiff alleges the assault occurred after being invited to a party by a driver who claimed to work for Combs. Jay-Z vehemently denies the accusations, calling them “idiotic” and suggesting the plaintiff file a criminal complaint. Combs’ legal team similarly dismisses the suit as a publicity stunt, while the plaintiff seeks unspecified damages under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.
