Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>A woman who accused hip-hop stars Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jay-Z of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 dropped her civil lawsuit on Friday, court records showed.<\/p>\n

Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – was accused in December of raping the girl with Combs at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 2000.<\/p>\n

The document filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York claims the accuser “hereby gives notice that the above-captioned action is voluntarily dismissed, with prejudice” – meaning the suit cannot be refiled.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear if the stars had reached a settlement with the woman, who has not been identified.<\/p>\n

But 55-year-old billionaire Jay-Z welcomed the closure of the case, which he slammed as “frivolous, fictitious and appalling.”<\/p>\n

“This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere. The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“I would not wish this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.”<\/p>\n

The complaint said Combs and Carter – who is married to pop superstar Beyonce\u0301 – took turns assaulting the plaintiff as another celebrity stood by and watched.<\/p>\n

“Many others were present at the after party, but did nothing to stop the assault,” it went on.<\/p>\n

“Carter has been with Combs during many such instances described herein. Both perpetrators must face justice.”<\/p>\n

Combs, also 55, has separately been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Federal prosecutors allege that he sexually abused women and coerced them into drug-fuelled sex parties using threats and violence.<\/p>\n

He has denied all charges, and his criminal trial is currently slated to begin on 5 May.<\/p>\n
