Jay-Z Denies Allegations in Diddy-Linked Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The rapper has called the claims against him a 'shakedown' as legal battles intensify following accusations tied to Sean 'Diddy' Combs' broader case.

Jay-Z, identified as a co-defendant in a lawsuit alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV VMAs afterparty, has strongly denied the accusations.
The lawsuit, filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, claims that both Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs assaulted the plaintiff, with an unnamed female celebrity also present.
Jay-Z has filed a countersuit against Buzbee, accusing him of attempting to extort money through what Jay-Z describes as baseless and fabricated allegations.
Jay-Z's legal team is demanding the accuser reveal her identity, arguing that anonymity undermines accountability and fairness in the case.
The allegations against Jay-Z come as part of a broader series of lawsuits and accusations against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is under federal investigation for alleged sexual misconduct and trafficking.
