Jay-Z has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl 24 years ago alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs in a civil lawsuit, originally filed in October.

The 55-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, has been named in a civil lawsuit filed by a woman identified only as Jane Doe. According to the amended complaint obtained by PEOPLE, Doe alleges that she was assaulted after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000.

NBC News was the first to report the news.

The same civil lawsuit was originally filed in New York City in October with the names of two celebrities redacted and only listed Sean “Diddy” Combs, 55, as a defendant. An amended complaint was filed on Sunday, Dec. 8, to name Carter.

In the lawsuit, originally filed on Oct. 20, the unnamed woman alleges that she was raped by Combs and Carter while a still-unnamed female celebrity watched during a party in a N.Y.C. residence after the VMAs.

“Defendant Sean Combs, along with his longtime friend and collaborator Shawn Carter (a/k/a ‘JayZ’), drugged and raped a thirteen-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards,” the suit states. “Another celebrity stood by and watched as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the minor.”

Carter shared a lengthy response to the filing on Roc Nation’s X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday, writing that the filing was a “a blackmail attempt.” He called the accusation false, and spoke out against Jane Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee.
