A 30-year-old man named Rymir Satterthwaite, who is claiming to be an alleged son of rapper Jay-Z, has filed for a Supreme Court motion to unveil the "truth." Satterthwaite has been battling for answers for over a decade, accusing Jay-Z of evading a paternity test. The lawsuit has been going on since 2011 and has Rymir making claims that the rapper had an affair with his mother, Wanda, in the early 1990s. Despite repeated requests, the rapper has refused to undergo a DNA test.

Satterthwaite's defense team said that they have proof that Jay-Z is his father. This includes statements from people who have reportedly witnessed the affair between the rapper and Satterthwaite's mother, Wanda.

Rymir Satterthwaite now wants the rapper to be forced to undergo a DNA test so that he can unveil the truth about his paternity.


Jay-Z's lawyers state that Rymir Satterthwaite's previous paternity claims have been "refuted"

In a statement shared with The Daily Mail, Jay-Z's lawyer responded to the allegations raised by Rymir Satterthwaite. They said that the allegations were previously reviewed by courts and were refuted. The lawyer added:

“I am sure that will be the outcome of whatever filings Mr. Satterthwaite may be currently considering.”

Jay-Z's legal team, on the other hand, has suggested that the action should be dismissed owing to jurisdictional difficulties. They also say Satterthwaite's mother committed fraud by providing the wrong address on the paternity documents.

The Sun reported, as per Your Tango, that Rymir's mother, Wanda, met Jay-Z in Philadelphia in 1992. From there, they went to his aunt's project apartment building in Brooklyn, NY, and began dating.

Wanda said she and Jay-Z allegedly used protection, which seemed untrue since she got pregnant. Wanda said that she saw him again a few weeks later, but after that, she never heard from the rapper again.

Satterthwaite's family allegedly approached Jay-Z about this in a letter.

According to The Sun, Jay-Z's in-house lawyer contacted them to address the situation privately. The in-house lawyer and Wanda reportedly discussed Rymir's singing career, but nothing came of it since "he had to finish his education."

Lillian, Rymir's legal custodian, reported that things took a turn when "different lawyers" got involved. Lillian said that their attitudes changed when they learned about Rymir's mother's age.

According to the Daily Mail, Satterthwaite wants the case to be reopened, claiming that Jay-Z has been keeping it secret in order to avoid undergoing a paternity test.

While speaking to The Sun in 2018, Satterthwaite said that people were saying that he was chasing Jay-Z for the money and fame. However, the former said that it was never about money for him as he only wanted to know the truth.

This is not the first time that Rymir Satterthwaite has filed for legal action against the Empire State of Mind rapper. In 2016, he sued Jay-Z, alleging that he was his biological father and demanding a paternity test. A court judge in New Jersey, however, dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction.
