Jay-Z Accuses Man Claiming to Be His Son of "Decades Long Harassment"

CENTRAL CALIFORNIA, JUL 14 – Jay-Z calls the paternity lawsuit frivolous and a decades-long harassment campaign while the plaintiff seeks damages for emotional distress and reputational harm, court documents reveal.

  • On June 16, Jay-Z submitted court filings in Central California accusing Rymir Satterthwaite, who is in his early thirties, and his guardian Lillie Coley of persistent harassment spanning several decades related to paternity accusations.
  • The harassment accusation followed a May 6 lawsuit where Satterthwaite claimed Jay-Z is his biological father and fraudulently avoided paternity testing.
  • Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Corey Carter, denies the allegations, stating previous courts rejected the claims, and his team seeks protection of his reputation and personal rights.
  • Rymir seeks compensatory damages for emotional distress and legal costs, while Jay-Z requests a jury trial and additional time to respond, with proceedings overseen by a federal judge.
  • This long-running dispute highlights wider trends in accessible genetic testing for paternity and reflects personal and legal complexities faced by public figures like Jay-Z.
