In a civil lawsuit, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z have been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. According to an amended civil complaint, a woman identified as Jane Doe alleges that she was raped by Combs, 55, and Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, during the party held at a New York City residence. The accuser is now in her late 30s.
The complaint, obtained by the Post, also claims that the assault occurred while an unnamed female celebrity was present. The accuser stated that she was invited to the afterparty by a limousine driver who claimed to work for the artist and told her that the mogul preferred younger girls and that she "fit what Diddy was looking for." Prior to this, she had been standing outside Radio City Music Hall, attempting to gain entry to the VMAs and approaching limousines dropping off guests.
The plaintiff, who was 13 at the time of the alleged incident, claims she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement upon arrival at the afterparty and alleges that she was later given a drink she believes was drugged. The complaint states that the plaintiff was approached by Combs during the party, who had a "crazed look in his eyes" and allegedly told her, "You are ready to party!"
The accuser further alleges that Combs threw her toward a wall, causing her to fall. She got up and "stumbled," at which point Combs allegedly grabbed her again and "threw her on the bed." The plaintiff claims that Jay-Z removed her clothes, held her down, and raped her while Combs and an unidentified female celebrity watched. She also alleges that Combs raped her as Jay-Z and the female celebrity looked on.
Jane Doe is seeking unspecified damages. Her attorney, Tony Buzbee, previously announced that he was representing more than 100 people accusing Combs of misconduct. The amended complaint was filed on Sunday and named Jay-Z, despite the initial complaint, filed in October, not referencing Jay-Z by name. Jay-Z's lawyers have filed a motion asking a judge to dismiss the claim and also want the identity of the anonymous accuser to be "disclosed immediately" to the public.
The Roc Nation founder, 55, defended himself against the allegations in a statement posted to social media on Sunday. Jay-Z, who shares Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with Beyoncé, vehemently denied the claims and said his "only heartbreak is for my family." He expressed concern about having to explain the allegations to his children, particularly his daughter, whose friends might see the press and ask questions.
A day later, the record executive attended the red carpet premiere of "Mufasa: The Lion King" alongside his wife and oldest daughter. In the Disney film, Beyoncé voices Nala while Blue Ivy plays lioness cub Kiara. Even his mother-in-law, Tina Knowles, attended the event and posed with the rapper. Hours earlier, Tina claimed her social media account, which "liked" a post about the Jay-Z and Combs lawsuit, was hacked. Following the family's night out, 50 Cent went online to troll Jay-Z for his attendance at the red carpet.
The rapper, 49, posted pictures of the famous family at the event to his Instagram, writing, "Jay said they said I rapped [sic] a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL." He has since deleted the post. Over the years, 50 Cent has notoriously trolled Diddy and is now making a Netflix documentary about the sexual assault allegations against the disgraced mogul.
Combs was arrested in September on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking and has been denied bail three times. He is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting his May 2025 trial.
