Jay-Z Has Been Avoiding Paternity Test For A Decade, Alleged Illegitimate Son Says

Jay-Z has been a proud father of three since his wife, Beyoncé, welcomed their twins, Rumi and Sir in 2017. Their eldest, Blue Ivy, was born in 2012. She’s proudly been shown off on the arm of both her mom and dad in the years since then. He’s obviously pleased with the family he’s built for himself alongside his frequent collaborator. However, elsewhere, a 30-year-old man named Rymir Satterthwaite claims that Hov is his father too. Unfortunately, because the Watch the Throne hitmaker has been avoiding taking a paternity test for a decade now, he doesn’t have the concrete proof needed to substantiate his claims.

According to DailyMail, Satterthwaite has been fighting since age 21 to prove Shawn Carter’s role in his life. After 10 years, he’s bringing his case in front of the Supreme Court in hopes of having them unseal it. This would force the 4:44 hitmaker to finally take a DNA test, giving his alleged son the closure he’s obviously craving. While speaking with the outlet, Satterthwaite made it clear that his main goal in this situation is to see “justice served,” which he will apparently stop at nothing to achieve.

Is Jay-Z a Father of Four?

In terms of what the man wants from Jay-Z, Rymir would be happy with a simple acknowledgement of their relationship. “I just want to live my life. When it is all said and done, I hope that Jay-Z would want to be a part of my life. If that is God’s will,” he added. While he continues to tell his story on social media, the Roc Nation head’s attorneys have denied the paternity claims in a letter. “The allegations have been previously reviewed thoroughly by the courts and have been refuted. I am sure that will be the outcome of whatever filings Mr. Satterthwaite may be currently considering,” they wrote to DailyMail.

The 30-year-old says his conception took place in the fall of 1992. At this time, his mother, Wanda, slept with the New Yorker. She was only 16, while he was 22 and a long way from obtaining the celebrity status he has today. Their fling was short-lived and ultimately fizzled out before his birth in 1993. Wanda opted to put her high school sweetheart, Robert Graves, on Rymir’s birth certificate as a biological father. However, his lack of resemblance to the man only became more evident with age.
