Jay-Z has been sued civilly for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 together with Sean "Diddy" Combs, reports American media with reference to court documents.
The world star rejects the allegations in a long statement where he goes on the attack against the lawyer representing the person behind the lawsuit. According to Jay-Z, it's all about a "blackmail attempt":
"These allegations are so horrific in nature that I implore you to file a police report, not a civil lawsuit!! Whoever would have committed such a crime against a minor should be locked up, don't you agree?"
For the arrested hip-hop mogul "Diddy", who also denies, the lawsuit is the latest in a long series of allegations of rapes and other serious sexual assaults.
