Rapper and music mogul Jay-Z, whose real name is Sean Carter, has been accused of allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs, according to Billboard.

The allegations surfaced in a civil lawsuit filed on Sunday in New York federal court by attorney Tony Buzbee on behalf of an accuser Jane Doe. Jay-Z has strongly denied the claims, labeling them a "blackmail attempt."
