Jay-Z rape accuser says her allegation was false
A woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 has formally said her allegation was untrue.
The woman who previously accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 has now formally stated that her allegation was false. In 2024, the unnamed woman filed a lawsuit alleging that she had been drugged and raped by Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter, and Sean "Diddy" Combs at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. Both Jay-Z and Combs denied the allegations, and the woman eventually dropped her lawsuit last year.
However, Jay-Z then sued her and her lawyers. In a statement filed in that case, the woman, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, explicitly denied the accusations, stating that "Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter never raped me. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct toward me whatsoever."
She also asserted that her claims about the rape were false and that there is no truth to them. The woman acknowledged that her false accusations have caused Jay-Z immense pain and suffering. Following her lawsuit's dismissal in February 2025, she has been removed from the rap superstar's legal proceedings.
