JAY-Z’s Alleged Son Rymir Satterthwaite Drops Paternity Lawsuit

Rymir Satterthwaite—the man who has long claimed to be the music mogul’s son—has officially withdrawn his legal petition requesting that the hip-hop icon submit to a court-ordered paternity test. After years of fighting to establish a biological connection to Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, the notice to drop the case was filed in California, bringing a pause to a saga that has spanned over a decade. If the petition is dismissed without prejudice, Satterthwaite has the right to refile his complaint at any time. Satterthwaite, now in his 30s, maintains that JAY-Z had a romantic relationship with his late mother, Wanda, in the 1990s, which allegedly led to his birth in 1993. JAY-Z has dismissed Satterthwaite’s remarks as “fabricated,” and no paternity test has ever been administered or ordered by the court.
