‘I Mourn Yet Another Loss Of Innocence.’ Jay-Z Responds After Being Named In P. Diddy Rape Lawsuit Filing But The Accuser's Lawyer Hits Back
Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is facing various lawsuits, as he remains in jail ahead of his sex-trafficking trial in 2025. Much of these suits have been overseen by Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who previously claimed to have been representing around 120 clients with grievances against Combs. Now, another suit has been refiled by a Jane Doe who claims to have been raped by Combs and fellow rapper Jay-Z as a minor over two decades. Now, the latter Grammy winner is responding to the accusation.
The Jane Doe’s lawsuit was formally filed this past October in New York, though it was refiled on Sunday to include Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – as a defendant alongside Diddy. Per the filing, the woman specifically claims that the two music artists raped her in 2000 when she was 13 years old. She asserts that the purported assault happened when she was being driven to a house party following the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.
