Jay-Z has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl allegedly alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs at an afterparty.
Combs, 55, has remained behind bars after pleading not guilty on 17 September of using his 'power and prestige' to drug sex workers during his alleged 'Freak Off' parties.
More than 120 accusers have come forward, with a number of sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee said the lawsuits were from 60 male and 60 female accusers, noting that 25 of them were minors at the time.

"When you talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it's shocking," Buzbee said.
A lawyer for Diddy has denied all allegations in a statement issued to LADbible Group.
"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation," it read.
Now, the same lawyer has filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - after an accuser claims he raped her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000, alongside Diddy.
Jay-Z, 55, has vigorously denied the claims in a statement.
"My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a 'lawyer' named Tony Buzbee," he said.
"What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.
"No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!
"These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!
"Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?
"These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.
"This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics!
"I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over. I'm more than prepared to deal with your type. You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honour nor dignity.
"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.
"My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.
"You have made a terrible error in judgement thinking that all 'celebrities' are the same. I'm not from your world. I'm a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don't play these types of games.
"We have very strict codes and honour. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain.
"Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable.
"I look forward to showing you just how different I am."
LADbible Group has contacted Jay-Z and Combs' representatives for comment.
