Jay-Z is speaking out following his accuser's admission of inconsistencies in her allegations of sexual assault against the rap mogul. The Alabama woman, identified as Jane Doe, claims that Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, and Sean "Diddy" Combs raped her at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty when she was 13.
In an interview with NBC News on Friday, Jane Doe acknowledged errors in her account, including misremembering her father's involvement and incorrectly identifying a celebrity present at the event. Despite these discrepancies, she maintains the core of her allegations.
The lawsuit alleges that Jane Doe attended the afterparty after attempting to enter the awards show at Radio City Music Hall. She claims she was later assaulted by Carter and Combs, though the specific details of the events remain contested.
Both Jay-Z and Combs have denied the allegations. Combs' representatives have labeled the claims as "shameless publicity stunts."

Jay-Z's attorney, Alex Spiro, criticized the legal process, stating, "It is stunning that a lawyer would not only file such a serious complaint without proper vetting but would make things worse by further peddling this false story in the press." He added, "We are asking the Court to dismiss this frivolous case today and will take up the matter of additional discipline for Mr. Buzbee and all the lawyers that filed the complaint."https://t.co/3JJ9SoT4eL pic.twitter.com/o8lW4ywWWz

Jay-Z himself condemned the lawsuit, asserting, "Today's investigative report proves this 'attorney' Buzbee filed a false complaint against me in the pursuit of money and fame. This incident didn't happen, and yet he filed it in court and doubled down in the press. True justice is coming."EXCLUSIVE: Jay-Z rape accuser comes forward to NBC News; acknowledges inconsistencies in her allegations. pic.twitter.com/tzk8qIKSFJ
