It looks like Jay-Z may have way more than 99 Problems after his alleged son came out from the shadows to address their paternity drama.

Jay-Z's alleged son speaks out

For over a decade, a man has been trying to prove that he is Jay-Z's illegitimate son from a fling from the 90s.

31-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite broke his silence amid his alleged father's scandal, where he and Diddy are accused of assaulting a then 13-year-old girl in 2000.

"If Mr Carter values honour and protecting children, as he claims in his letter, he should step forward with transparency. But he continues to deflect and avoid.
"Despite my efforts, Mr Carter has never once written a letter to me to address these claims - whether to deny or acknowledge paternity."

The news received worldwide coverage over the years as both Rymir and his late mom, Wanda, attempted to prove that Hov was, in fact, his father.

Sadly, it was met with ridicule from fans and the rapper himself, who would often taunt his alleged son and baby mama in his songs.

What you need to know about Jay-Z

Jay-Z grew up in the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, raised by a single mother. His love for music began in his teens, earning him the nickname "Jazzy," which later became "Jay-Z." He started his career selling CDs out of his car before co-founding Roc-A-Fella Records in 1995 alongside Damon Dash and Kareem Burke. His debut album, Reasonable Doubt (1996), included tracks like Dead Presidents II and Can't Knock the Hustle. Though it only reached No. 23 on the Billboard 200, the album became a defining moment in his career and is now hailed as a hip-hop classic.

Over time, Jay-Z achieved a record 14 No. 1 albums on the Billboard charts, the most for any solo artist. In 2008, he wed pop star Beyoncé, and together, they’ve become one of the most powerful couples in music, with a combined net worth of over $3 billion. They have three children: Blue Ivy (born 2012) and twins Sir and Rumi (born 2017). Their collaborations, including the 2018 album Everything Is Love and the On the Run tours, have brought in more than $364 million.
