US EditionJay-Z's Paternity Case Officially Dismissed After 10-Year Legal Battle
The lawsuit alleging Jay-Z fathered Rymir Satterthwaite in the 1990s was dismissed with prejudice, barring further claims or DNA tests, after over a decade of legal disputes.
- A federal court on Wednesday dismissed a federal paternity suit against Shawn Carter, known professionally as Jay‑Z, with prejudice, ending the decade-long saga, according to Page Six and court records.
- Rymir Satterthwaite alleges Shawn Carter impregnated his late mother Wanda Satterthwaite in the mid‑1990s and filed a May 2023 court order seeking DNA testing, pursuing reputational and emotional distress damages.
- Court records show that Rymir Satterthwaite accused Shawn Carter, known as Jay‑Z, of fraud on multiple courts, while Jay‑Z’s legal team called the claims fabricated and a decades‑long campaign of harassment.
- The ruling bars Rymir Satterthwaite, plaintiff, from refiling the suit or seeking paternity tests from Shawn Carter, known as Jay‑Z, and cleared the way to enforce the contempt order against the plaintiff.
- Despite this week’s dismissal, observers call it the latest chapter in a years‑long dispute and say it remains unclear whether the matter is truly over after Rymir Satterthwaite’s July 27 Instagram update.
