Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a lawsuit Sunday of raping a teenage girl after an awards show more than two decades ago along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul facing federal sex trafficking charges and a wave of lawsuits alleging sexual assault.

Z have denied the lawsuit's allegations. In a then-burgeoning hip-hop scene, the fellow New York natives rose to prominence in the East Coast rap world through the mid-1990s. Their music tapped into hard knocks and entrepreneurial ambitions – but both wanted more than album sales and positive reviews.

Cent shared an AI-video of Jay-Z being arrested in the wake of a sexual assault lawsuit against the rapper. Jay-Z has denied the allegations that he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old.

Jay-Z's legal team says a woman told them attorney Tony Buzbee pressed her to include Sean "Diddy" Combs in her allegations. Buzbee denied the claim.

Z, aka Shawn Carter, have filed an affidavit claiming that Tony Buzbee, the attorney who named Jay in a lawsuit accusing him of raping a 13-year-old in 2000 with Sean “Diddy” Combs, tried to coerce an individual to link an unrelated sex trafficking case to Combs.
