‘Partners in crime’: Diddy and Jay-Z. Picture on file
Jay-Z has hit back at claims that he raped a 13-year-old in 2000 along with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Better known by his rap moniker, Shawn Carter is accused of sexually assaulting the young meisie after she was transported to an MTV Video Music Awards after-party by Diddy’s driver.
Jigga is the first named superstar in the Diddy scandal, after the rap mogul was arrested in October and is due to stand trial from 5 May next year after the Feds slapped him with racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
The federal lawsuit was originally first filed in October and named his pal Diddy as a defendant.
It was resubmitted on Sunday and added Jay-Z, Beyonce’s husband, in a civil case.
Diddy, who was arrested in October, is due to stand trial from 5 May next year after the Feds slapped him with racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
But J-Hova released a statement via his Roc Nation company denying the allegation.
The social media post reads: “These allegations are so heinous.
He accused the woman's lawyer, Tony Buzbee of attempting to blackmail him and said they will not receive money from him.
The statement adds: “This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of such theatrics. I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human being Mr Buzbee.”
He says: “My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age [Blue Ivy] where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims and explain the cruelty and greed of people.”
