Jay-Z has been slapped with another legal lawsuit over the paternity of an alleged “illegitimate son” named Rymir Satterthwaite.
As reported by MailOnline, the 55-year-old rapper is facing an ongoing legal battle with the 31-year-old alleged son, who has been in a decade-long fight to prove that the rapper is his biological father.
The latest case, which was filed on November 25, lists “Satterthwaite, his late mother Wanda and his guardian Dr. Lillie Coley” as new plaintiff.
The lawsuit claims that the Jay, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and his legal team acted fraudulently during previous attempts to get him to take a paternity test.
Moreover, the filing argues that from 2012 to 2023 their “rights were violated through fraudulent court actions", which included "sealed records, wrongful sanctions, and obstruction of their legal proceedings”.
The new lawsuit also claimed that the court system conspired to deny the plaintiffs access to essential legal records and blocked their appeals.
The plaintiffs also held multiple judges accountable who claimed that they "committed fraud by misrepresenting property ownership and allowing false claims" by the rapper at that time.
Satterthwaite’s later mother, who died in 2019, previously alleged she had an intimate relationship with Carter back in 1992 when she was 16 and he was 22, according to affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com.
In 2010 she requested that a Pennsylvania court make both men (another was her ex-boyfriend) opt for a paternity test in order to determine real father of her son, who was born in 1993.
However, the case was dismissed outright because Satterthwaite was over 18 years old at the time of the pre-trial and, according to Pennsylvania state law, paternity must be established before a child reaches the age of adulthood.
The record executive is already facing a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old with Sean “Diddy” Combs back in 2000.
However, the rapper, who is married to superstar Beyonce, denied allegations, calling it "heinous" and a "blackmail attempt".
