00:00A woman who accused hip-hop moguls Sean Diddy Combs and Jay-Z of sexually assaulting her
00:07when she was 13 has dropped her civil lawsuit. The case, filed in December, alleged that
00:12the two men raped the girl at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The lawsuit
00:19was voluntarily dismissed on Friday, with court documents stating the case is closed
00:23with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. It's unclear whether a settlement was reached.
00:29Jay-Z, who's 55, expressed relief over the case's dismissal, but says it has caused distress
00:34on him and his family. Meanwhile, Combs faces separate federal charges of sex trafficking
00:40and racketeering, with his trial scheduled for May 5. He denies all allegations.
