Rappers Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs have been accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl back in 2000.

The lawsuit, which was originally filed in October and re-filed Sunday in New York to add Jay-Z to the list of defendants, alleges that the victim, identified only as a woman now living in Alabama, was raped by both men at a Video Music Awards afterparty.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, referred to the allegations in a statement as a "blackmail attempt." Combs' attorney denied the allegations.

The lawsuit alleges the girl went to the VMAs in New York City without a ticket hoping to get inside, but was instead invited to an afterparty by a limo driver who claimed to work for Combs. The limo driver allegedly drove her to the party, where she was told to sign something that she believes was a non-disclosure agreement, the lawsuit claims.

While inside, the lawsuit alleges, "after attempting to talk to numerous celebrities, Plaintiff accepted a drink from one of the waitresses circulating the crowd." The lawsuit claims she began to feel "woozy and lightheaded" after drinking "a portion of the drink" and went to find a place to lie down. She went into a room that had a bed in it and, shortly after lying down, Combs, Carter and an unnamed woman celebrity whom the alleged victim recognized entered the room, the lawsuit claims.
