Rapper/Business magnate JAY-Z is already fathering three kids with Queen Beyoncรฉ, but now, his alleged first son is urging to be officially acknowledged.
Rymir Satterthwaite, who has been claiming to be Jiggaโs son for decades, has taken his case to the Supreme Court.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail published on Monday, May 8, the New Jersey resident claimed that he wants nothing more from the โGuilty Until Proven Innocentโ rapper than to see what he called โjustice served.โ Satterthwaite also claimed that part of his demand includes unsealing the court documents so he can pursue the case against the Hip-Hop’s first Billionaire successfully.
โThis is not going to be over until justice is served,โ he told the outlet. โI just want to live my life and, when it is all said and done, I hope that JAY-Z would want to be a part of my life if that is Godโs will.โ
He further spewed: โI wonโt stop fighting for this until I win. And I will win because the law is on our side.โ
The battle first commenced when Satterthewaiteโs mother, Wanda, came forward with the claim that sheโd had sex with the Marcy-Brooklyn native in the 1990s when she was going through a rough patch with her high school sweetheart. Wanda claimed, at that time, sheโd been battling JAY-Z in court since at least 2012, and she was โdisrespectedโ by his legal team.
At that time, too, their lawsuit claimed a lawyer the Satterthwaites employed was โbest friends and neighboursโ with Jayโs attorney, and they worked together to create procedural problems that led the case to be dismissed.
According to Satterthwaite, even back then claimed that he wasnโt looking for a piece of the massive Carter fortune โ rather, he just wanted the Roc Nation Records executive to recognize him as his son.
โThis never about money for me,โ Satterthwaite said at the time. โMy whole thing was just to see who my father was and honestly I get my own money. I work two jobs, I take care of my own business.โ
Satterthwaite upped his claims again after DNA testing conclusively confirmed that his motherโs high school sweetheart, Robert Graves, was not his biological father.
Since Wanda โ who has since passed away โ insisted that sheโd only had sex with two men in her life (Graves and JAY-Z), Satterthwaite petitioned JAY-Zโs attorney to submit to DNA testing, but Hova allegedly never complied with the request.
Mr Carter’s refusal started a prolonged legal fight that goes on to this day โ though itโs vague if the Apex Court can force JAY-Z to submit to genetic testing should Satterthwaiteโs request be successful.
However, JAY-Zโs lawyers categorically refuted Satterthwaiteโs claims. โThe allegations have been previously reviewed thoroughly by the courts and have been refuted,โ they stated in a letter to the outlet. โI am sure that will be the outcome of whatever filings Mr Satterthwaite may be currently considering.โ
