Jay-Z's decade-long paternity case with Rymir Satterthwaite has been dismissed with prejudice, ending the legal battle and preventing future claims, amidst ongoing disputes and allegations from both sides.
Rymir Satterthwaite, who claimed to be Jay-Z's son, dropped his paternity lawsuit but insists he is still fighting for answers, alleging harassment and claiming he has not undergone DNA testing. Jay-Z has largely avoided public comment, referencing the rumors in his music and dismissing the claims as part of a harassment campaign.
Rymir Satterthwaite, who claims to be Jay-Z's illegitimate son, has filed a motion with the Supreme Court to unseal the case and force the rapper to take a DNA test. The legal battle has been ongoing for over a decade, with Jay-Z's legal team accused of abusing the system to avoid taking a paternity test. Rymir wants nothing from the rapper other than for him to acknowledge him as his son. Jay-Z's attorneys have denied the allegations, stating that they have been previously reviewed and refuted by the courts.
