A federal lawsuit, which originally only named Mr Combs, was refiled in federal court on Sunday. It cites the accuser, "Jane Doe", who alleges she was assaulted at the house party by the two music moguls and that an unnamed female celebrity was in the room at the time.
In a statement shared on social media, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, branded the legal action as a "blackmail attempt".
Mr Combs is in jail after being charged in September with sex trafficking and racketeering, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
He has denied all allegations against him, including this latest lawsuit.
"You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all 'celebrities' are the same. I'm not from your moral world. I'm a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn," Mr Carter wrote in a fiery statement addressed to lawyer Tony Buzbee posted on Sunday afternoon, Variety reports.
