American rapper and music producer Jay-Z has been accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old with hip-hop star Sean “Diddy” Combs in the year 2000, court documents show, a claim the artist strongly denied.

An updated civil complaint filed on Sunday alleges that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, as well as Combs, raped the girl at an afterparty following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000. “Another celebrity stood by and watched as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the minor. Many others were present at the after party, but did nothing to stop the assault,” the complaint reads.

“Carter has been with Combs during many such instances described herein. Both perpetrators must face justice.”

Combs, who is also known as Diddy, is currently in jail facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Jay-Z had originally been identified in the complaint against Combs as “Celebrity A”, the updated lawsuit states, accusing Carter of filing a “frivolous” countersuit. “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”

Carter, 55, is a billionaire record producer and entrepreneur who started out as a rapper and is now married to superstar Beyonce. Buzbee, the lawyer bringing the action against Jay-Z, told AFP “the pleading speaks for itself. This is a very serious matter that will be litigated in court.”
Federal prosecutors allege that Combs, 55, sexually abused women and coerced them into drug-fueled sex parties using threats and violence.
