Jay-Z has opened up about a difficult year spent fending off a 2024 sexual misconduct lawsuit that was ultimately withdrawn by the accuser.
The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused of drugging and raping an unidentified woman in 2000 when she was just 13. The woman, referred to only as Jane Doe, originally filed the civil suit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. However, she later added Jay-Z to the pre-existing lawsuit in December 2024, alleging the pair attacked her after accepting a ride in Combs’ limo to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty.
