Jay-Z’s ‘son’ says rapper has refused to take paternity test for years because his mom was underage when they ‘had sex’

THE man who believes he may be the son of Jay-Z says the rapper has been avoiding taking a paternity test for the past 14 years because his mother was only 16 when they allegedly hooked up. Rymir Satterthwaite, 31, has been embroiled in a legal battle with the rapper since he first went to court to request a paternity test in 2010.

Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - denies being Rymir's father but has never taken a test, claiming the New Jersey court had no jurisdiction over him and sparking a bitter legal battle lasting over a decade. Rymir and his godmother, Dr Lillie Coley, recently filed a lawsuit against several judges and the court system of New Jersey, alleging they "conspired" with the rapper to have cases relating to his paternity, inheritance, and abuse of court processes dismissed.

They allege in the court papers they have lost over $100,000 due to the case - and are still having money taken from them by Carter due to his lawyers having "illegal liens" placed on their New Jersey home. Now Rymir and Lillie have told The U.S. Sun that they believe that Jay-Z is "scared" to take the paternity test because Wanda was only 16 at the time she alleges she slept with Jay-Z.

They claim they tried to request a paternity test privately and were forced to go to court when it was refused. "I think behind the scenes, he's scared," Lillie said. "Rymir's mother was underage. That's why he's not doing it. "But at the end of the day, we were trying to do it behind the scenes, and then it was brought to our attention after research that they had the age problem - because we didn't even bring it up.
