Jay-Z Seeks Dismissal of Rape Lawsuit, Citing Alleged Inconsistencies

The rapper's legal team has filed a motion claiming the plaintiff's allegations are unsubstantiated and requesting sanctions against her attorney.

Jay-Z has filed a motion to dismiss a civil lawsuit accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV VMAs afterparty, which he denies.
The motion highlights alleged inconsistencies in the plaintiff's account, including claims that key details of her narrative are false or unlikely to have occurred.
Jay-Z's legal team has requested monetary sanctions against the plaintiff's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, accusing him of failing to adequately investigate the allegations before filing the lawsuit.
The plaintiff admitted in a recent interview to making some mistakes in her story but maintains her allegations against Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is also named in the suit.
The case continues amidst ongoing legal disputes between Jay-Z's lawyers and Buzbee, with both sides accusing each other of unethical conduct.
