Jay-Z is suing a woman who in February withdrew her legal action accusing the rapper of rape.
His defamation action claims she "voluntarily admitted" being pressured into making false claims in what it describes as an "evil conspiracy" to extort money and damage his reputation.
The anonymous woman filed her legal action in October and refiled it in December, accusing Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, and Sean "Diddy" Combs of raping her aged 13, after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
Both rappers denied the allegations.
Jay-Z's defamation action, filed at a federal court in Alabama, also accuses the woman's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, and his co-counsel, David Fortney, of orchestrating her lawsuit.
Mr Buzbee has garnered headlines internationally over the dozens of legal actions he has filed on behalf of people accusing Mr Combs of sexual misconduct, extortion, assault and other transgressions.
Mr Combs has denied all the allegations.
He is also facing federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
Jay-Z's defamation action says the woman told his legal team her lawyers had made her make the false allegations.
"Buzbee brought Jay-Z into it," it says she said.
And despite her admitting Jay-Z "did not sexually assault [her]," Mr Buzbee "pushed [her] towards going forward" with the false story to strengthen the case and extort more money, the defamation suit claims.
