In the lawsuit, Jay-Z, who was charged with raping a teenager in 2000, has requested to be dismissed.
For those who are unaware, the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs are accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl known only as “Jane Doe” during an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000.
Last month, Carter called the accusation “heinous” and vowed to fight back against a “idiotic” effort at extortion.
Through his attorney, the rapper—real name Shawn Carter—has now filed a new move to dismiss the case, pointing out what they say are contradictions and impossibilities in the accuser’s story.
