Jay-Z has denied paternity claims made by Rymir Satterthwaite, calling the lawsuit part of ongoing harassment against him. The rapper stated that the allegations, which claim he is Satterthwaite's father, have previously been rejected by multiple courts.

Rymir Satterthwaite, 31, first made the claim in 2015, alleging Jay-Z avoided a paternity test and used his status to influence legal processes.

Satterthwaite has stated that his attempts to resolve the matter have caused emotional and psychological distress, adding that he has experienced anxiety and health issues during the legal process.

Jay-Z's response, shared by RadarOnline, described the claims as fabricated and stated that past court orders had dismissed the allegations.

The statement added that Satterthwaite's continued actions have already led to a contempt order for disregarding previous rulings.

Satterthwaite has maintained that the case is focused on seeking justice rather than personal gain. He has described the legal efforts of his family, including his godmother and late mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, in their attempts to clarify the paternity claim.

Wanda Satterthwaite, who died in 2016, recorded a video supporting her son's pursuit of a paternity test, stating her belief in the need to confirm the connection.
