- Jay-Z called the lawsuit frivolous, fictitious, and appalling, welcoming the closure of the case

A woman who accused hip-hop stars Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 has dropped her civil lawsuit, court records showed on Friday.
The accuser claimed that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Combs raped her at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 2000. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In a document filed with the court, the accuser voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, which means that it cannot be refiled. The woman has chosen to remain unidentified, and it is unclear if a settlement was reached between the accusers and the two hip-hop moguls.
Jay-Z, who is now 55 years old and a billionaire, expressed relief that the case had been closed. He described the lawsuit as “frivolous, fictitious, and appalling” in a statement. He also stated that the claims made in the lawsuit were false and that the experience had caused immense trauma to him, his family, and loved ones.
The complaint alleged that Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the plaintiff while another celebrity watched and did nothing to intervene. The lawsuit also mentioned that there were other people present at the party who did not stop the assault. The accuser claimed that Carter had been with Combs during similar instances in the past and demanded that both perpetrators face justice.
Combs, who is also 55 years old, is facing separate charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Federal prosecutors have accused him of sexually abusing women and forcing them into drug-fueled sex parties through threats and violence. Combs has denied all charges, and his criminal trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.
The dismissal of the lawsuit comes amidst a wave of similar allegations against Combs. Several new lawsuits have been filed against him, alleging sexual assault, including of a minor. One of his ex-partners, Cassie, has also spoken out in support of believing victims of sexual assault.
The case involving Jay-Z and Combs highlights the challenges faced by victims of sexual assault and the complexities of seeking justice in high-profile cases. Despite the dismissal of the lawsuit, the allegations have brought attention to the issue of sexual assault in the music industry and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
As the legal proceedings continue, the accusers, the accused, and the public are left to grapple with the implications of these serious allegations. The outcome of the criminal trial against Combs and the impact of the dismissed lawsuit against Jay-Z are likely to have lasting effects on the music industry and the ongoing conversation around sexual assault and accountability.
