Jay-Z accuser says that her rape allegations were false in court filing

A woman who previously accused rapper Jay-Z of rape at the age of 13 has now stated that her claims were false and that she never met the US rapper, according to a court filing. The unnamed woman had alleged that Jay-Z and hip-hop producer Sean "Diddy" Combs assaulted her following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000. However, Jay-Z dismissed the accusation as a "fictional tale" and the woman subsequently dropped her civil lawsuit against the pair in 2025.

In a recent court document, the woman stated that she has never met or spoken to Jay-Z and that there is no truth to her claims against him. She expressed remorse for causing the rapper "immense pain, suffering and damage" and acknowledged that her false accusations cannot be undone.
