Jay-Z Formally Served Sexual Assault Lawsuit After Failed Attempt to Unmask Jane Doe Accuser
Jay-Z has officially been served with a sexual assault lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe plaintiff, with documents being delivered to his Malibu mansion's head of security. The lawsuit accuses the rapper of sexual assault that allegedly occurred when the plaintiff was 13 years old.

The court has denied Jay-Z's request to reveal the accuser's identity, though the judge noted this decision could change during discovery. Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents over 200 alleged victims in related cases, is representing the plaintiff.
Key developments in the case include:
- Additional lawsuit documents were mailed to Jay-Z's residence
- The allegations also involve Diddy, who faces separate criminal charges
- An unnamed female celebrity allegedly witnessed the incident
- The NFL continues to maintain its relationship with Jay-Z
Concurrent to this case, Jay-Z is involved in legal disputes with Tony Buzbee, having filed a 236-page extortion lawsuit against him in December. Buzbee countered with allegations that Roc Nation attempted to pressure his former clients into filing lawsuits against his firm.
