Shawn Carter, known professionally as Jay-Z, was added as a defendant on Sunday in a lawsuit first filed in October. The anonymous accuser said the assault happened at an MTV music awards after-party.
Jay-Z, the rapper whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl, allegedly along with Sean « Diddy » Combs, in 2000, according to a civil lawsuit filed in federal court on Sunday.
The anonymous plaintiff, identified as « Jane Doe », said the assault took place at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.
According to the accuser, an unidentified female celebrity stood by and watched Combs and Carter take turns raping the minor, and that no one at the party attempted to stop the assault.
NBC News was the first to report the accusations against Carter. The lawsuit was initially filed in October in the District Court of the Southern District of New York, with Combs named a defendant.
