Jay-Z Seeks Sanctions Against Rape Accuser’s Lawyer

Rap mogul Jay-Z on Wednesday asked a judge in Manhattan to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him and fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl during a party in 2000, and to sanction the Houston attorney who filed the case.

Jay-Z accused the lawyer, Tony Buzbee, of multiple inaccuracies in the complaint, and of failing to investigate the allegations before filing the lawsuit.

Buzbee’s lawsuit, which initially named just Combs and later added Jay-Z as a defendant, alleged that the unnamed girl was drugged and raped by both men at a party hosted by Combs following the MTV Music Awards in 2000. Combs and Jay-Z have denied the allegations.
