Live MintAmerican rapper Jay-Z has been added to a lawsuit accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl with the disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs at an after-party following the 2000 Video Music Awards. According to an amended civil lawsuit filed on Sunday, Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee named Shawn Carter, known as Jay-Z professionally, in the lawsuit initially filed in October. Here's what Jay-Z said: Terming the lawsuit as “one of several anonymous complaints” by Tony Buzbee, Jay-Z claimed the Texas attorney had sent his lawyer a “demand letter” ahead of the filing. In a statement to ABC News, Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal representatives called the lawsuit a “recent extortion” attempt by Buzbee which “exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Combs” and termed it as a “shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Combs”.
