JAY-Z has been slammed by a judge for a "relentless" courtroom plot to unmask the accuser who claims the star raped her. The music mogul and Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly drugged and raped a woman, who was then 13 years old, at a 2000 VMAs afterparty while a female unidentified "Celebrity B" watched on, a lawsuit claims.

Jay-Z, 55, and Combs, 55, have denied all the claims made against them. Jay-Z, whose is real name Shawn Carter, has made several attempts to quash the case or force the accuser to be publicly identified. But on Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres sided with his accuser in the latest decision to come out of the Southern District.

Torres granted the woman anonymity for the next stage of proceedings and slammed the rapper's lawyer. In a five-page filing released on Thursday, Torres slammed Spiro's "relentless filing of combative motions", describing them as filled with "inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks", and a "waste of judicial resources".

Torres said: "The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it.". Torres also decided to grant the accuser anonymity after Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro tried to get the judge to lift it. Spiro has previously pleaded with the judge to dismiss "frivolous" lawsuits against the rapper.

He told The Sun: "It is stunning that a lawyer would not only file such a serious complaint without proper vetting, but would make things worse by further peddling this false story in the press. "We are asking the Court to dismiss this frivolous case today, and will take up the matter of additional discipline for Mr. Buzbee and all the lawyers that filed the complaint.".
