Jay-Z Strongly Denies “Heinous” Allegations He Sexually Assaulted A 13-Year-Old In 2000 With Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

On Monday (December 9), Sean “Jay-Z” Carter responded to the recent sexual assault allegations made against him. A woman, identified as Jane Doe, claims that Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and raped her at an after party following the Video Music Awards in 2000 when she was 13-years-old. Carter released a public statement on X calling the lawsuit a “blackmail attempt” and the allegations “so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!” Carter claims that he is “a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn” which has “very strict codes of honor,” including protecting children. Carter’s attorneys filed a motion requesting the judge require Doe either reveal her identity or dismiss the lawsuit. “Mr. Carter should not have to defend himself in the brightest of spotlights against an accuser who hides in complete darkness while leveling allegations that describe the purported acts occurring in the plain sight of witnesses who could refute the plaintiff’s claims if only her identity was revealed,” the filing states.
