Popular rapper, Jay-Z is reportedly making progress in his ongoing legal battle against an Alabama woman who accused him of s*xually assaulting her more than 24 years ago. Judge Analisa Torres has granted a request made by his legal team to enter a dismissal motion in the case, and fans have been reacting.
“Jay-Z’s request to file a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s amended complaint is GRANTED,” Torres simply wrote in court documents posted by law journalist Meghann Cuniff on X.
The rapper’s accuser said she was assaulted by the rapper and Combs at an MTV Music Awards afterparty in September of 2000.
WOW.
Shawn Corey Carter (born December 4, 1969), known professionally as Jay-Z, is an American rapper, businessman, and record executive. Rooted in East Coast hip-hop, he was named the greatest rapper of all time by Billboard and Vibe in 2023.
Known for his complex lyrical ability—which often uses double entendres and word play—and braggadocio, his music is built upon a rags to riches narrative. He served as president and chief executive officer of Def Jam Recordings from 2004 to 2007, and founded the entertainment company Roc Nation the following year.
Shawn Corey Carter was born on December 4, 1969, in Brooklyn, New York City. He was raised in Marcy Houses, a public housing project in Brooklyn’s Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood.
His father, Adnis Reeves, abandoned the family when Jay-Z was 11 years old, and Jay-Z and his three older siblings were raised by his mother, Gloria Carter. Reeves later met and reconciled with Jay-Z prior to his death in 2003.
