A woman who accused rapper Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 has formally withdrawn her allegations, stating they were false, according to court documents. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit in 2024 alleging she was drugged and raped by Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards party. Both men denied the allegations, and the woman later dropped the lawsuit in February 2025.
Jay-Z subsequently filed a lawsuit against her and her former lawyers. The woman said she had never met or spoken with Jay-Z and that he had never engaged in inappropriate conduct toward her. She also clarified that her previous claim that both Jay-Z and Combs raped her while a third celebrity watched was false. The woman expressed understanding that her accusations had caused Jay-Z significant pain and damage.
She further stated that she had not received any money from Jay-Z or anyone acting on his behalf and had not been paid to make her declaration.
