Jay-Z and Diddy sexual assault lawsuit dropped
Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2000 has voluntarily withdrawn her lawsuit, according to a court document filed on Friday (February 14).The suit was first filed back in December by Jane Doe, who alleged she was sexually assaulted by both artists at a VMA after-party.The anonymous accuser filed papers later obtained by Rolling Stone informing the court that she was withdrawing her complaint with prejudice, meaning she could not file it again.Attorneys for Combs – who was arrested and charged with crimes including sexual trafficking and racketeering last September and is currently in a federal jail awaiting trial – told the publication there was no settlement between the parties. Combs has consistently denied all allegations raised against him.Roc Nation founder Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, has continually denied the “heinous” accusation after Doe named him in an amended complaint in December, and had previously hit out at his accuser’s lawyer for “getting basic facts wrong”.Last month, Carter filed a memo with additional arguments to dismiss the suit, having previously filed a motion to dismiss it, with his lawyers requesting a monetary sanction be placed on Texan attorney Tony Buzbee – the lawyer representing Jane Doe – alleging that he failed to adequately investigate the woman’s allegations before he filed the lawsuit.Buzbee declined to comment on the dismissal, per Rolling Stone.In a statement shared with NME today, the ‘Empire State Of Mind’ artist called the news a “victory.”“The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed,” Carter said.

Jay-Z accuser can remain anonymous, judge rules
Jay-Z‘s accuser can remain anonymous, a judge has ruled, while the rapper’s lawyer has been criticised for a “relentless filing of combative motions”.On December 8, it was reported that Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – was named in a lawsuit which alleged the rape of a 13-year-old girl in 2000 by the rapper and Diddy, real name Sean Combs.In a statement issued via Roc Nation, Carter called the allegations “heinous in nature” and dismissed them as a “blackmail attempt”, and filed a court letter seeking the dismissal of the suit while maintaining his innocence. Combs also denies the accuser’s claims.The letter also sought to reveal the identity of the accuser, but in a ruling on Thursday (December 26), Judge Analisa Torres declared that the woman can proceed anonymously in the case, as reported by Rolling Stone.The judge pointed to the “weight of the factors” including the “highly sensitive and extremely personal” nature of the claim in making her decision, arguing it “tips the favour of allowing Plaintiff to remain anonymous, at least for this stage of the litigation”.Torres then added that the “relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client.
