Rymir Satterthwaite believes Jay-Z may be his father.
Jay-Z could possibly be 24 year old Rymir Satterthwaite’s father. According to The Sun, Satterthwaite claims that Hov has been using his money and power for the past eight years to avoid taking a paternity test.
The latest lawsuit claims that the attorney Satterthwaite hired was “best friends and neighbors” with Jay-Z’s lawyer. Therefore, they worked together to have the case thrown out.
Satterthwaite has been attempting to get Jay to take a DNA test every since his mother, Wanda, told him that the 4:44 rapper was his father. Wanda says she slept with Jay back in 1992 at his aunt’s apartment in Brooklyn. She says they used protection, however, she still ended up pregnant and had no way to contact him after his career began to take off.
After Wanda fell ill in 2010, Wanda’s godmother, Lillie, was given custody of Rymir. Lillie stated the following, “Wanda was only 16 when she allegedly met Shawn but she may have told him she was older. She fell pregnant but had no idea how to contact him.”
Wanda added, “In the beginning when we first reached to Shawn’s team, we reached out in love, and we wrote a letter. I got a call from his in-house lawyer and they were very helpful and we thought we would resolve this privately – they even talked about Rymir’s music talent and whether it was a good time to put him on his record label but he had to finish high school so I said no.”
“Suddenly different lawyers got involved and their attitude completely changed – I think they realized there was more at stake for Shawn given that Wanda was allegedly underage. We put in legal requests for both Shawn and Robert to take paternity tests in Philadelphia. Robert did his and was found not to be the father but Shawn’s request was not processed due to procedural problems.”
“Since then there has just been a whole bunch of mistakes, oversights and collusion between our lawyers and Shawn’s lawyers – which is why we have to fight back. And we’re not giving up.”
Satterthwaite, who is an aspiring rapper, says this isn’t about money, he just wants to know who his father is, “It got pushed to the side and basically now I walk around and everybody’s looking at me and saying ‘he’s chasing Jay-Z, he wants money, he’s trying to get his 15 minutes of fame. This never about money for me. My 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.”
