Jay-Z Takes Legal Action Against Allegations of Paternity

In a significant turn of events, Jay-Z, the iconic rapper and music mogul known by his birth name Shawn Corey Carter, is vigorously defending himself in a legal battle. Recent court documents obtained by E! News reveal that Jay-Z is levying serious allegations against Rymir Satterthwaite, who claims to be his son, along with Rymir’s guardian, Lillie Coley. Jay-Z is accusing them of prolonged harassment, asserting that their claims about Rymir’s paternity have persisted for years, causing considerable distress.

In the court filings dated June 16, Jay-Z condemned the latest lawsuit brought forth by Rymir, aged 32, and Lillie as “just the latest” in a series of what he describes as “decades-long harassment.” He emphasizes that similar allegations have been thoroughly examined and rejected by various courts previously, asserting that this ongoing situation has led to a contempt order due to the persistent harassment against him.

According to the legal documents, Jay-Z is seeking an extension from the judge to formulate a proper response to the lawsuit. His filing indicates that although the lawsuit was submitted on May 6, it was “not properly served,” which prevented Jay-Z from being aware of it until June 3. Consequently, the Grammy-winning artist’s legal team is requesting an additional four weeks to “evaluate the Complaint and determine how to respond or otherwise plead,” ensuring a thorough and informed approach to the legal proceedings.
