Jay-Z Rape Accuser Withdraws Allegations

A significant turn in a legal matter involving Jay-Z: the woman who accused him of rape has withdrawn the allegations. In a declaration, she stated plainly that "Mr. Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct toward me whatsoever."

This kind of reversal can happen for a lot of reasons, and without more details we're not speculating. What matters is the case is closed and the accuser herself is on record saying nothing happened. For Jay-Z, it's a clean exit from a legal headache that's been hanging over things.
