A woman who accused hip-hop mogul Sean Combs (Diddy) and rapper Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) of raping her when she was 13 years old has dropped her lawsuit against both men. The suit was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, meaning the plaintiff cannot bring the same claim again.
A woman who accused hip-hop mogul Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, and rapper Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z , of raping her when she was 13 years old has dropped her lawsuit against both men.
In a statement, Carter, who is married to fellow musician Beyonce, said it was a “victory” that the allegations were dismissed, describing them as “frivolous, fictitious and appalling”. He called for the courts to protect equally victims and those “falsely accused”. The lawsuit was brought by an Alabama woman who said Carter and Combs had drugged and raped her at a party hosted by Combs after the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. It was originally filed solely against Combs in October, but was amended in December to include Carter as a defendant.
Accusations against Combs snowballed after his ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, better known as the singer Cassie, came forward in 2023 with allegations that he had physically and emotionally abused her. CNN then released footage from 2016 that appeared to show Combs kicking Ventura and dragging her across the floor of a Los Angeles hotel hallway.
