The suit was initially filed in October, claiming that the woman was lured by a limousine driver outside the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards and assaulted by the two rappers at an after-party.
The woman said that during the alleged assault, she tried to resist but Jay-Z told her to stop. She also acknowledged some inconsistencies in her account but firmly maintained that she was attacked.
Shawn Carter, known professionally as Jay-Z, was added as a defendant on Sunday in a lawsuit first filed in October. The anonymous accuser said the assault happened at an MTV music awards after-party.
If the current conflict between J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Drake feels confusing, it's because the artists often hailed as hip-hop's "big three" have never played by the same rules.
The Carters have it all — wealth, influence, critical cred — but they've never stopped chasing the approval of exclusive institutions like the Grammys. At this point, who are they fighting for?
On Sunday, Jay-Z accepted an honorary Grammy by taking gentle aim at the awards' failure to support Black musicians. "We want y'all to get it right — at least get it close to right" he said.
The hip hop legend was inducted by the former president and comedian Dave Chappelle. The induction makes Jay-Z one of the few solo rappers to ever be included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
