Jay-Z, Sean "Diddy" Combs accused of raping 13-year-old in civil suit

Rappers Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs have been accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl back in 2000.

The lawsuit, which was originally filed in October and re-filed Sunday in New York to add Jay-Z to the list of defendants, alleges that the victim, identified only as a woman now living in Alabama, was raped by both men at a Video Music Awards afterparty.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, referred to the allegations in a statement as a "blackmail attempt." Combs' attorney denied the allegations.
