Jay-Z has vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, as detailed in an updated lawsuit. ![]()
![]()
Filed alongside accusations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, the lawsuit alleges that both men took turns assaulting the minor while others at the event did nothing to intervene.![]()
![]()
In a statement shared via Roc Nation, Jay-Z dismissed the claims as a “blackmail attempt” by attorney Tony Buzbee, stating, “These allegations are so heinous… I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!” The lawsuit identifies Jay-Z, previously referred to as “Celebrity A,” and accuses him of filing a “frivolous” countersuit.![]()
