This week, rapper Jay-Z has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 alongside Sean Combs, who also goes by P Diddy, in a civil lawsuit filed in the U.S. over the weekend.

Jay-Z has vehemently denied the allegation, as has Combs.

It’s the latest in a string of allegations that have centred around Combs, but it’s the first time we’ve heard any such allegation against Jay Z.
