Jay-Z” Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually assaulting her after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards has been heard on a recording admitting Jay-Z “didn’t have anything” to do with the sexual acts – and that her lawyer “pushed” her to sue.As ABC News reports, the lawsuit against Carter and Combs has since been withdrawn with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived.The recording is an exchange between the woman, known anonymously as Jane Doe, and two private investigators associated with Jay-Z. ABC News and Rolling Stone obtained an excerpt of the recording.“He was just there, but he didn’t have anything to do with the any sexual acts towards you.

Jay-Z’s accuser is heard on tape saying that her previous sexual assault allegations against the rapper were false, according to Jay-Z's lawyer. The accuser, Jane Doe, previously said Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted her after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13 years old.The lawsuit has since been dropped. In a taped conversation, Jay-Z’s sexual assault accuser claimed her lawyer, Tony Buzbee, pressured her into suing the rapper.

Jay-Z is lying and “reeks of desperation,” says the lawyer representing the Jane Doe who accused the Grammy-winning rapper and the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs of repeatedly raping her in 2000. In an already pugilistic case that was dismissed by the plaintiff on Valentine’s Day after it was played out in court and in the press for months, Tony Buzbee today claims things have turned even more “nasty” in recent weeks.

Jay-Z has sued the woman who accused him of sexual assault, accusing her and her attorney of “false and malicious” allegations.Late last year, an anonymous woman, referred to as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit against the rapper and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, accusing them of raping her in 2000 at an MTV VMAs after-party when she was 13 years old. Jay-Z strenuously denied the allegations.However, in February, the accuser voluntarily withdrew the suit with prejudice, meaning she would not be able to file it again, and she acknowledged that there had been inconsistencies in her original account of the alleged incident.Now, Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – has filed his own suit accusing Doe and her lawyers Tony Buzbee and David Fortney of engaging in an “evil conspiracy” to extort him with “completely fabricated” and “wildly horrific” claims of rape.As reported by Rolling Stone, the suit was filed on Monday (March 3) and it alleges that Carter’s representatives made contact with Doe and she is said to have admitted concocting her claims about Carter.

As the Chateau Marmont staff this morning were cleaning up after Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s annual post-Oscars Gold party, the “Empire State of Mind” superstar was doubling down against the Jane Doe and the lawyer who accused him and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her as a minor in a now-dismissed case.

Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Jay-Z has filed a defamation lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee, David Fortney and a Jane Doe over a previously dropped suit that alleged sexual assault. The suit, filed in Alabama and reviewed by Variety, comes a few weeks after Doe dropped her case against Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Jay-Z is pursuing a lawsuit against the lawyer responsible for the assault lawsuit that was filed against him in December 2024.

The case that Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs repeatedly raped a 13-year-old after the 2000 MTV VMAs was dismissed on Valentines’ Day by its Jane Doe plaintiff. However, in legal moves on both coasts, the two rappers are apparently far from done with her lawyer, Tony Buzbee.

Jay-Z opened up about the money that he lost because of the assault lawsuit that was filed against him in December 2024.

The lawsuit accusing Jay-Z and the currently-incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs of repeatedly raping a minor in 2000 after the MTV VMAs was dismissed on Valentine’s Day, but the bitter relationship between the “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” rapper and attorney Tony Buzbee rages on, for now.

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.

Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer The lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z over the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl in 2000 has been dismissed by the attorney representing the Jane Doe, according to a court filing made on Friday in New York. The voluntary dismissal, reviewed by Variety, was filed by attorneys Tony Buzbee and Antigone Curis, claiming that the Jane Doe who accused the musicians of sexual assault “hereby gives notice that the above-captioned Action is voluntarily dismissed, with prejudice.” Because it was dismissed with prejudice, the suit cannot be refiled as it is in its present form.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is still facing a criminal trial in May over sex trafficking and more, as well as dozens of sexual assault cases, but the Bad Boys Records founder and Jay-Z are now no longer are being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl back in 2000.

In the lull between the Beyoncé dominated Grammys of February 2 and Kendrick Lamar‘s Roc Nation produced half time show at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, Jay-Z is making some shifts in strategy in the hopes of getting tossed out claims that the Big Pimpin rapper, the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs and a currently unidentified female “Celebrity B” repeatedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

Diddy” Combs is expected to be hit with over 10 new civil lawsuits in the coming days, according to a lawyer representing dozens of his alleged victims.Last September, Diddy was arrested and charged with crimes including sexual trafficking and racketeering. He has since been held in a federal jail in his hometown awaiting trial, which is set to begin on May 5.Diddy has been denied bail on multiple occasions while awaiting trial, with the first denial coming after he offered a $50million (£38.4million) bond.

Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sued by another John Doe who claims that the incarcerated mogul drugged and assaulted him. Attorney Tony Buzbee filed the suit in New York earlier today on behalf of a John Doe who alleged assault from an incident that took place in 2015.

Thania Garcia Jay-Z has filed a motion to dismiss the ongoing lawsuit against him filed by a woman who alleges the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her when she was 13 years old during a VMAs after party in 2000. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, filed the new motion on Wednesday after securing the greenlight to do so from United States District Judge Analisa Torres.

Well, this certainly doesn’t make him look more innocent…

Jay-Z clearly has no intention of walking away from 2024 without continuing to put up a fight against rape allegations.
