- Dailymail.com has reached out to reps for Jay-Z for comment on the lawsuit
Jay-Z was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at a party after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in a civil lawsuit filed Sunday.
The accuser, who identifies herself as Jane Doe in the legal docs reviewed by NBC News, says the assault took place at a party after the award show.
The lawsuit had initially been filed in New York’s Southern District this pas October against Combs, with a refiling on Sunday naming Jay-Z, 55, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
Jay-Z issued a lengthy statement to Dailymail.com Sunday denying the claims made in the re-filed lawsuit.
‘My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a “lawyer” named Tony Buzbee,’ he said. ‘What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.
‘No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!’
