JAY-Z ACCUSED WITH DIDDY IN LAWSUIT OF RAPING GIRL, 13, IN 2000!!

US rapper Jay-Z has hit back at a lawsuit which alleges that he, along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000.

The anonymous accuser alleges she was assaulted at a house party after the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in New York and that an unnamed female celebrity was in the room at the time.

In a statement, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, dismissed the legal action as a “blackmail attempt”

Mr Combs – who is in jail awaiting trial after being charged in September with sex-trafficking and other offences – denied the latest accusation .The lawsuit was originally filed in October, and was refiled on Sunday to list Mr Carter as a defendant.

The legal action was filed under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, by a Texas-based lawyer, Tony Buzbee.

Mr Buzbee has filed several lawsuits in recent months accusing Mr Combs of assault and rape. The hip-hop artist is due to face a criminal trial on 5 May.

Mr Carter said in a statement posted to social media: “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee.”What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.

The accuser in Sunday’s legal filing, who is identified only as “Jane Doe”, said that in 2000, when she was 13, a friend dropped her off at the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.
She approached limousine drivers outside the venue to try to gain access to the show, according to the legal action.

One driver told her that he was employed by Mr Combs and that she “fit what Diddy was looking for”, says the lawsuit.

Later that evening the chauffeur drove her to a party at a white house, according to the legal action.
