A rape lawsuit against Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs filed by a Jane Doe has been dismissed with prejudice, according to court documents.
Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, praised the dismissal in a statement, saying it was a victory over frivolous allegations that were without merit. He emphasized the importance of protecting innocent victims while also ensuring that those falsely accused receive justice.
Combs’ legal team also released a statement commending Jay-Z for standing up against false allegations and clearing his name. They highlighted the similarities between this case and others filed by individuals using 1-800 lawyer services, which often result in baseless claims falling apart.
The lawsuit initially claimed that Jay-Z and Diddy raped a minor at an MTV VMAs after-party in 2000. However, it was dismissed without a settlement. Jay-Z had previously filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and requested that the court deny the plaintiff’s request to proceed anonymously.
This dismissal is the latest development in cases filed by individuals accusing Combs of sexual misconduct. He is currently awaiting trial for racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
