Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Jay-Z’s lawyers are asking a judge to speedily extract the rapper from a lawsuit in which a woman alleges she was sexually assaulted by Jay-Z and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs when she was 13. The unidentified woman recently added Jay-Z to her lawsuit against Combs in Manhattan federal court. In a court filing Wednesday, the lawyers cited a recent television interview in which the woman acknowledged inconsistencies in her story. The woman says she was attacked by the two in 2000 after Combs’ limo driver offered her a ride to an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.
