US rapper Shawn Corey Carter, known professionally as Jay Z, has stated that he will meet with his wife, Beyoncé, to explain a shocking civil lawsuit accusing him of engaging a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
The couple, who had been romantically involved since about 1999 before the alleged incident, married in 2008 and have three children: Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, seven.

The accuser, identified as Jane Doe in legal documents, claims the assault occurred at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
The case was initially filed in New York's Southern District in October against Combs, with a refiling on Sunday identifying the rapper, 55, whose actual name is Shawn Carter.
The woman accusing the rapper claims the attack occurred at an after-party following the event on September 7, 2000, at New York City's Radio City Music Hall.
Jay Z sent a lengthy statement on Sunday, rejecting the charges made in the re-filed case.
In his highly charged answer, he mentioned Beyoncé and expressed dismay that his children would have to hear about the charges.
He said: 'My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.
"I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.'
