Jay-Z accuser says her rape claims against him were false

The woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 has recanted her allegations against the music mogul.

In a filing Thursday from lawyers representing Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, the former accuser says that her allegations against the rapper were “false,” adding that she “never met Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct toward me whatsoever. There is no truth to any of my claims against Mr. Carter.”

In the filing, she added that she falsely claimed that Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped her while watched by another celebrity, whose name is redacted.
