Jay-Z is legally addressing a man that has claimed that the hip-hop icon is his father. According to court documents obtained by UsWeekly, Jay-Z is asking a federal judge to intervene and called the recent federal lawsuit brought by Rymir Satterthwaite “just the latest” in “decades-long harassment of [Jay-Z].”
“The fabricated allegations and claims have been addressed – and rejected — in multiple other courts,” the documents read. “And [Satterthwaite’s] continued harassment of [Jay-Z] and disregard of those orders has already resulted in a contempt order.”
Jay-Z told the judge that he only learned about Satterthwaite’s most recent lawsuit on June 3 and needs more time to put together an official response. Satterthwaite filed the federal lawsuit against Jay-Z on May 6.
He claims that Jay-Z impregnated his mother in the 1990s; Satterthwaite also says Jay’s team committed fraud upon multiple courts and “exploited legal systems in multiple jurisdictions to suppress [Rymir’s] paternity claim and prevent legal accountability.” In his suit, he says he is not seeking back child support but damages from Jay-Z for his alleged actions — including the “wrongful dismissal” of his paternity suits seeking child support and college funds. He also said he suffered psychological distress, public embarrassment and stress-induced health and mental health complications.
Satterthwaite claimed his car was shot six times, which he took as a clear “message intended to silence him.”
In a recent social media harange against Jay and Roc Nation, Nicki Minaj re-posted a post from 50 Cent about the paternity case. “Oh is this why he was trending the other day? Idk. I hope all is well,” she wrote. “To God be the glory.”
The judge has yet to rule.
