A lawyer for rapper Jay-Z has asked a court to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him, along with Sean "Diddy" Combs, of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000, after inconsistencies emerged in her allegation.

An Alabama woman, named in the legal action by the pseudonym Jane Doe, has accused the musicians of drugging and attacking her at a house party following the MTV Video Music Awards.

She claimed she spoke with one celebrity at the party, though his representative said he was on tour at the time. Her father told NBC News he cannot recall driving five hours to pick her up after the alleged assault, as she says.

In an interview with NBC, the woman acknowledged making "some mistakes" in her accusation, but said she stood by her claim.
