Rapper Jay-Z has been accused of sexual assaulting a teenager in 2000, allegedly along with Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

NBC News reports the alleged assault occurred at a house party after the MTV Video Music Awards.

The lawsuit was originally filed in October in Southern District of New York against Sean Diddy Combs but it was refiled to include Shawn Carter, who is known as 'Jay-Z'.

Jay-Z has strongly denied the accusations.

Diddy is currently behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after he was denied bail.

Federal prosecutors in New York criminally charged him in September with racketeering, sex trafficking and other offenses.

Combs has denied all the accusations against him.
