Jay-Z Accuser Recants Earlier Rape Allegation, Says She Never Met Rapper

A woman who previously filed a lawsuit alleging that she was raped by the musician when she was 13 has now withdrawn the claim. In a statement, she said the allegation was false and that she has never met the billionaire rapper.

The original lawsuit, filed in 2024, asserted that the artist had sexually assaulted her as a minor. The case attracted significant media attention and prompted public discussion about the allegations. The plaintiff’s legal team had initially pursued the matter in court, seeking damages and accountability.

In a recent development, the accuser publicly recanted her testimony, stating that she never had any personal encounter with the rapper. She affirmed that the earlier allegations were untrue and that she had no basis for the claims made in the lawsuit.

Legal representatives for both parties have not disclosed further details about the next steps in the case. The court has not yet issued a formal ruling on the recantation or any potential dismissal of the lawsuit.

The reversal of the claim marks a significant shift in the proceedings, ending the public dispute over the alleged incident and leaving the matter unresolved in the legal system.
