Jay-Z, the star rapper and entrepreneur whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a civil lawsuit on Sunday of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 allegedly along with Sean “Diddy” Combs. The anonymous accuser, identified only as “Jane Doe,” said the assault happened after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty. The lawsuit was originally filed in October in the Southern District of New York, listing Combs as a defendant. It was refiled Sunday to include Carter.
The lawsuit says a friend dropped her off at the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall. She didn’t have a ticket and approached various limousine drivers to attempt to gain access to the show or an after party. One driver, the lawsuit said, told her that he worked for Combs and she “fit what Diddy was looking for.” He invited her to a party following the show and told her to return to his car later in the evening after he transported Carter and Combs, the suit said.
