Diddy's finally getting a legal victory -- and Jay-Z's celebrating too ... as the woman who'd accused them of raping her when she was 13, is now dismissing her lawsuit.

The Jane Doe accuser filed docs in federal court to voluntarily dismiss the case with prejudice, which means it can't be refiled. It's a huge 'W' for both music moguls, but Jay, in particular, insisted all along he would not give in to the false allegation ... and now he's come out on top.

You'll recall, the accuser claimed she met Jay and Diddy at a VMA after-party back in 2000, but her lawsuit -- which was filed in December -- was filled with inaccuracies, which came out in the weeks following her suit.

Ouzounian says she blocked him ... demanding Matthew not reach out to her again. She says this alleged incident was just the latest in a series of problematic interactions she had with him dating back to December.

A$AP Rocky would get knocked out if he went toe-to-toe with A$AP Relli ... but, he can't touch him 'cause Rocky's a powerful dude -- so, says the prosecutor in the case.

John Lewin -- the deputy district attorney who famously won a conviction against real estate mogul Robert Durst -- spoke to the jury during the rebuttal to Rocky's lawyer Joe Tacopina's closing argument.

Lewin started off his rebuttal by saying Rocky was embarrassed that he got caught talking behind Relli's back ... a look Lewin says isn't very manly.

LaKeith Stanfield went full rom-com mode for his wife, Kasmere Trice, scooping her up from the airport with gifts in tow -- but he's reminding us all that V-Day love should flow both ways!

We caught up with the "Get Out' actor at LAX Friday, and he made one thing clear to us -- he’s all for grand Valentine's Day gestures, but says the ladies should return the favor and spoil their man, too.

A woman who says she was trafficked as a teenager is now suing Diddy, claiming he paid her and other minors to work a sex party in Miami just a few years ago.

The alleged victim filed the lawsuit Friday and details the encounter she claims went down in or around 2020, when Diddy was hosting a huge party -- which she says was clearly organized as a group sex event in a warehouse.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, she says Diddy made a formal announcement and toast to start the party. The woman says she'd already been drugged at that point ... sedated by an unnamed man, not Diddy, she calls her "trafficker." She claims to have been under the thumb of various pimps since she was 12, and at the time of Diddy's party, she was still only 15.
