Jay-Z Accuser Recants Rape Allegation and Says She Never Met Rapper A woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her at age 13 has filed a statement saying she made false accusations and never met the rapper, as his counter lawsuit is dismissed. A woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 has said she made false accusations and never met the U.S. rapper, according to a court filing seen Friday. The woman, who has not been identified, had claimed that Jay-Z and disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs assaulted her following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000. Jay-Z, who was born Shawn Carter, dismissed the accusation as a fictional tale, and the woman dropped her civil lawsuit against the pair in 2025. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Carter.Jay-Z accuser denies meeting rapperMr. Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct towards me, the woman stated in the latest court document. There is no truth to any of my claims against Mr. Carter, she added. I understand that my false accusations have caused Mr. Carter immense pain, suffering and damage that can never be fully undone. Her statement was filed by Jay-Z lawyers as part of a counter lawsuit against the woman and her attorneys, a case that is now being dismissed.The woman said she made her complaint after seeing a Facebook advert for people with sexual assault claims against Combs, who has faced a raft of allegations in recent years and is in prison for prostitution charges. The ad triggered memories of being raped when I was 13 years old, the woman said, adding she then contacted a law firm.She said she does not recall having given her permission for lawyers to file the legal complaint in 2024, which she later withdrew after having doubts about her claims. The document, partially redacted, suggests that the woman suffered from mental health problems.
