Jay-Z, Diddy’s controversial party photos circulate amid rape allegations

Jay-Z and his close pal Sean 'Diddy' Combs have recently found themselves in controversy after some old photos circulated on social media amid rape allegations.

According to reports, a person named Collin Rugg took to his X account to share throwback pictures from the MTV Video Music Awards afterparty hosted by Diddy, who is currently in prison due to racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

In the viral photos, apart from the rappers several big Hollywood figures were also seen enjoying the gathering, including the renowned actor Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Ice-T, magician David Blaine and Damon Dash.

Collin posted a caption stating, "Here are photos of the party. Jay-Z is in the red shirt. I had previously shared this lawsuit on X, but Jay-Z was not named; he was referred to as ‘Celebrity A.’ Here are some of the celebrities who attended the party."

"Jay Z, JLo, Ben Stiller, Fred Durst, Ice T, David Blaine, Damon Dash, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Steven Dorff, Josie Maran, Carmen Cass," the caption reads. 

These explosive images came after an unnamed woman claimed that Jay-Z and Diddy raped her when she was just 13 years old.

As reported by Reuters, an amended lawsuit filed in federal court on Sunday claims that the rap star physically assaulted the woman along with his close pal during a party back in 2000.

However, the 55-year-old rapper has denied the allegations on social media, labelling the case as a 'blackmail attempt' by the complainant's lawyer.

Reportedly, neither Jay-Z's legal team nor his wife, the renowned singer Beyoncé, has responded to the matter yet.
