Doe acknowledged inconsistencies in her recollection of the events in an interview with NBC but stood by her allegation that she was raped.
Combs' attorneys are celebrating the news, calling it "another confirmation that these lawsuits are built on falsehoods, not facts".
Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro shared a statement saying "The false case against JAY-Z, that never should have been brought, has been dismissed with prejudice".
Combs faces more than 40 sexual assault lawsuits, and was indicted in September on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Jay-Z's legal team pointed out impossibilities in the claims, arguing that "the fact that nearly every step in Plaintiff's narrative – from her arrival at the VMAs to her interactions with the limousine driver and celebrities to the ride with her father – turns out to be false or highly unlikely casts considerable doubt on Plaintiff's allegation that Mr. Carter raped her, which he did not".

Jay-Z added in a statement that the court must protect victims, but also protect the innocent from being accused without evidence.
The lawsuit was first filed in December, and the woman had claimed that Jay-Z and Combs assaulted her when she was 13 years old in 2000.
Jay-Z's team pointed out that the woman's narrative was full of impossibilities, and that her allegations were highly unlikely.
Combs' attorneys called Tony Buzbee, the woman's attorney, a "1-800 attorney", saying that he is more focused on media headlines than legal merit.
