The 30-year-old man who claims that he is the secret illegitimate son of Jay-Z has accused the world-famous rapper of abusing the legal system for more than a decade in order to avoid taking a paternity test.
RymirSatterthwaite has been fighting to prove that Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – is his biological father since he was 21 years old, and he is now taking that battle to the Supreme Court in an attempt to unseal the case and force Carter to take a DNA test.
Rymir who is from New Jersey has now decided to take the fight to Supreme Court to force the world-famous rapper to take a DNA test. Rymir has decided to stop at nothing until justice is served in his favor.
“This is not going to be over until justice is served. I just want to live my life and, when it is all said and done, I hope that Jay-Z would want to be a part of my life if that is God’s will.”
Rymir said
He adds, “I won’t stop fighting for this until I win. And I will win because the law is on our side.”
Jay-Z’s attorney told the outlet that Rymir’s claims have been previously reviewed by the court and have been rejected.
“The allegations have been previously reviewed thoroughly by the courts and have been refuted. I am sure that will be the outcome of whatever filings Satterthwaite may be currently considering.”
In February of this year, Rymir submitted a fresh motion to the New Jersey Supreme Court. It requested court unseal documents dating back to 2012.
The motion which detailed the case in the 29-page document, however, was rejected due to jurisdiction law. Rymir then re-filed it in the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division, which is considering the matter.
Rymir’s legal struggle with Jay-Z began in 1992 when Rymir’s late mother, Wanda, stated that she had a sexual encounter with the rapper in addition to a tumultuous relationship with her high school lover.
At the time Wanda was 16 and Jay-Z was 22 and yet to become a global sensation. The relationship concluded in July 1993 when Rymir was born.
This partly explains why Rymir’s biological father was named after Wanda’s high school sweetheart, Robert Graves, who was present at Rymir’s birth along with Wanda’s reconciled partner.
However, family insiders claim Wanda always knew Rymir wasn’t Graves’ biological son as he bore no resemblance to him. When Rymir turned 8, Wanda revealed to him that Jay-Z was his father.
In 2010, Wanda’s health declined and the paternity question turned into a legal dispute, with Wanda insisting that only two men—Michael, an old high school lover, and Jay-Z—had sexual relations with her before Rymir’s conception.
