00:00Rapper Jay-Z is facing serious allegations in a federal lawsuit that have sent shockwaves
00:04through the music industry, with fans urging Beyoncé to reconsider her marriage for the
00:08sake of her legacy and family's future.
00:11A federal lawsuit filed on Sunday accuses Jay-Z, born Sean Carter, and music mogul Diddy
00:17of being involved in the assault of a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV afterparty.
00:22A lawsuit, initially filed in October and refiled on December 8 in New York, adds Jay-Z
00:27as a defendant, accusing him and music mogul Sean Diddy Combs of allegedly sexually assaulting
00:33a woman at a Video Music Awards afterparty in New York City.
00:36The victim, now living in Alabama, claims she was invited to the afterparty by a limo
00:40driver posing as an employee of Combs' and then was allegedly drugged after accepting
00:45a drink.
00:46She alleges that after feeling lightheaded, she went to lie down in a room where she was
00:50attacked by Carter and Combs, who reportedly watched each other's assault.
00:54The woman managed to escape, seeking help at a gas station, before calling her father
00:58to pick her up.
00:59Both Jay-Z and Combs have denied the allegations, with Jay-Z calling it a blackmail attempt
01:04in an official statement released on X.
01:06Jay-Z's statement continued with him stressing the effect this has on his family, saying,
01:10"'My only heartbreak is for my family.
01:13My wife and I have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends
01:17will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims and explain
01:21the cruelty and greed of people.'
01:23Ex-users were quick to respond to Jay-Z's statement, with one saying, "'Diddy said
01:27he was innocent too,' then the video came out of him kicking Cassie."
01:30Another pointed out how Jay-Z and P. Diddy are liars, with one saying, "'What happened
01:35to believing all victims?
01:36Lock Jay-Z up.'"
01:37But Jay-Z wasn't the only one fans were calling out.
01:41Many called on Beyonce to finally divorce Jay-Z over the latest allegations.
01:45But not all fans were supporting Beyonce.
01:48Some accused Jay-Z of grooming her, while another ex-user posted, "'This is just
01:52the beginning.
01:53People have been saying for years that Jay-Z and Beyonce are involved in disgusting stuff
01:57like this.
01:58Anybody who takes part in assault in any capacity should be exposed.'"
02:03Despite rumors in September about Beyonce possibly leaving Jay-Z, there has been no
02:07official statement or divorce filings from either of them.
02:10Additionally, Beyonce has not made any public comments on the matter at this time.
