A woman identified as Jane Doe has filed a legal declaration in Manhattan federal court denying allegations of rape against Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, stating she has never met or spoken to him. The statement, submitted anonymously, directly contradicts previous claims made in a separate legal case involving the rapper. Legal experts are likely to scrutinize the declaration as it could influence ongoing proceedings tied to Carter’s past. The filing adds a new layer to a controversy that has drawn significant public attention.


“Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter never raped me. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Carter,” the woman, who has remained anonymous and is identified as Jane Doe, said in a declaration filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court.
