Million dollar settlement? Jane Doe drops her case against Jay-Z and Diddy and no one knows why

An anonymous woman who accused Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her back in 2000 when she was only 13-years-old dismissed her civil lawsuit on Friday against the hip-hop heavyweights sparking speculation that an out of court deal was hatched.

A filing in a federal court in Manhattan (NYC) claimed the plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, voluntarily dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning she cannot bring it again.

Hip-hop due claim ‘victory’

“Today is a victory,” Carter said in a statement posted online by his entertainment company Roc Nation. “The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed. This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere.”

The hip-hop mogul also said the case also caused trauma for his wife Beyonce, and their children.

In a joint statement, Combs' lawyers maintained that their client has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone.

“We will continue to fight these baseless claims and hold those responsible,” the lawyers said. “This is just the first of many that will not hold up in a court of law.”

Doe accused Carter and Combs of raping her at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Music Video Awards.

She said the alleged incident caused depression that led to post-traumatic stress disorder and her being “largely withdrawn from society.”

While Jay-Z is no longer facing legal action in this case, Combs continues to battle over three dozen civil suits.
