A 31-year-old man claiming to be Jay-Z’s illegitimate son feels “heartbroken” over the rapper’s strong denial of accusations that he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl. Jay-Z, 55, born Shawn Carter, described the allegations as a “blackmail attempt” in response to a civil lawsuit filed on Sunday.
Rymir Satterthwaite has spent a decade trying to establish that Carter is his biological father, as his late mother Wanda Satterthwaite claimed she was only 16 when she became pregnant.
“It is both heartbreaking and frustrating to see Mr. Carter respond to allegations with such deflection and attacks.” He emphasized that this fight is about truth and accountability, not greed.
The lawsuit accuses Carter of assaulting a woman identified as Jane Doe at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party on September 7, 2000. In his lengthy statement, Carter denied the claims and stated he has always sought to “protect children,” expressing concern for his family, especially his daughter Blue Ivy, who may hear about the allegations. Rymir criticized Carter’s statement, asserting that if he truly values honor and child protection, he should acknowledge his paternity.
Rymir’s mother alleged she had a sexual encounter with Jay-Z in 1992 when she was 16. The paternity issue escalated legally in 2010 when Wanda sought court orders for paternity tests after Carter married Beyoncé. Rymir claims Jay-Z’s legal team has attempted to evade the legal process regarding paternity testing. The case began with a pre-trial in Camden County, New Jersey, in August 2012 but was dismissed because Rymir was over 18 at that time. The court ruled it should be tried under New Jersey law, which requires establishing paternity before reaching adulthood. Carter’s legal team argued he should be exempt from DNA testing in New Jersey due to not residing or owning property there, despite public records indicating otherwise. Rymir has faced setbacks in every legal attempt he has made.
This case further projects a disturbing fact that could further cement the claim that Jay-Z has a thing for underage girls, and if Jay-Z conceded to fathering this man he could potentially incriminate himself, given the age at which Rymir’s mother allegedly got pregnant.
Observers think there are many chances Rymir could join hundreds of witnesses under Tony Buzbee’s legal team that are up against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, to testify in a case that also implicates his alleged father, as a person that has an appetite for young girls—and possibly one that would forcefully take what he wanted from one. In such a case Rymir would be a result of such appetite!
