Jay-Z has hit out at the lawyers of Jane Doe who have accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl.The lawsuit against the rapper – real name Shawn Carter – was first filed back in December by a woman who alleges that Jay-Z and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sexually assaulted her at a VMAs party in 2000, when she was 13-years-old.He went on to issue a statement via Roc Nation, denying all accusations and calling them “heinous in nature”.

He also dismissed them as a “blackmail attempt” by the plaintiff’s lawyer, Anthony Buzbee.Combs has consistently denied all allegations raised against him, including this one, and is currently in jail on sex trafficking charges.Now, according to HipHopdx, Carter has filed a memo with additional arguments to dismiss the suit brought against him.

Earlier this month, the rapper filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, with him and his lawyers requesting a monetary sanction be placed on Buzbee, alleging that he failed to adequately investigate the woman’s allegations before he filed the lawsuit.In the memo, Carter’s lawyer Alex Spiro argued that Buzbee had “got basic facts wrong” in the complaint.

Spiro noted that Doe’s father claimed to have no recollection of her version of events, which included an alleged 10-hour drive from Rochester to NYC to pick her up on the night of the 2000’s VMAs party, the party in which she claims she was sexually assaulted by Carter and Diddy.“Mr.
