Rapper Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl 25 years ago alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs in a 2024 civil lawsuit, which was later voluntarily dismissed by the accuser with prejudice. The incident occurred just before Jay-V learned about the lawsuit just before his daughter Blue Ivy, 14, attended the premiere of her movie, Mufasa: The Lion King. Jay-z, born Shawn Carter, denied the allegations and later filed his own lawsuit against Jane Doe and her legal team alleging malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and civil conspiracy. He also sued Doe separately, alleging defamation.
