In a significant legal development, a lawsuit accusing Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Jay-Z of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 has been dismissed, according to court documents filed in New York federal court. The accuser's attorney requested the dismissal 'with prejudice,' preventing the case from being refiled.
Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter, issued a statement on platform X, condemning the allegations as 'frivolous, fictitious, and appalling.' He argued that the civil suit lacked merit and was destined to fail. Combs echoed similar sentiments, calling the dismissal an affirmation that the lawsuits were 'built on falsehoods, not facts.'
The case, initially filed in October, accused the two rap moguls of raping an underage woman at a house party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The accuser, represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, alleged that she was drugged and assaulted. Both Combs and Jay-Z denied these claims, viewing the lawsuit as a financially motivated attempt lacking credible evidence.
