How do these superstars keep finding themselves in these situations?! Jay-Z has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the early 2000s. Shocking, right? Yeah. Just wait ’til you read his statement.
In an amended lawsuit filed this past Sunday, an Alabama woman (identified as ‘Jane Doe’) alleges Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, and Combs, drugged and raped her at an after party after the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000.
Jay-Z’s rep, Jana Fleishman, issued a statement saying the lawsuit was a ‘blackmail attempt’ and that Jay-Z is a “young man” from Brooklyn who abides by “very strict codes of honor”, which includes protecting children.
“My only heartbreak is for my family,” Jay-Z wrote, explaining that he and his wife, Beyoncé, will have to explain “the cruelty and greed of people” to their children.
