The legal drama comes from accusations that the rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, raped a 13-year-old girl at a 2000s VMAs afterparty.

The accuser, referred to only as Jane Doe, will remain anonymous for now, following a decision by Judge Analisa Torres.

Per Daily Mail, the Texas Hold Em' singer is reportedly struggling heavily with the allegations – especially because the accuser was close in age to their daughter Blue Ivy at the time of the alleged incident.
