Rapper Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, issued a statement and strongly denied allegations of him raping a 13-year-old girl along with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The lawsuit was filed by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who has several pending civil lawsuits against Combs. The Jay-Z allegations represent the first time another defendant has been named.
Carter posted his response via his Roc Nation social media account, calling the allegations “heinous.”
