A lawyer defending rapper Jay-Z in his fight against rape allegations has outlined a range of evidence to prove accusations levied against the hitmaker are “provably, demonstrably false”.

The woman, identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, told NBC News last week that Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Corey Carter, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs both sexually assaulted her when she was 13 at an after party for the 2000 MTV Music Awards.
