Accuser Drops Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Jay-z And Sean 'diddy' Combs
A woman who accused hip-hop stars Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Jay-Z of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 dropped her civil lawsuit on Friday, court records showed.
Jay-Z real name Shawn Carter was accused in December of raping the girl with Combs at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 2000.
The document filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York claims the accuser 'hereby gives notice that the above-captioned action is voluntarily dismissed, with prejudice' meaning the suit cannot be refiled.
It was not immediately clear if the stars had reached a settlement with the woman, who has not been identified.
But 55-year-old billionaire Jay-Z welcomed the closure of the case, which he slammed as 'frivolous, fictitious and appalling.'
