Rymir Satterthwaite, a man claiming to be American rapper Jay-Z’s son, has responded to a court ruling ending a ten-year paternity battle.

According to a report by Page Six, the paternity case filed by Rymir Satterthwaite, a man claiming to be Jay-Z's son, has been officially shut down with prejudice. This means that the case is permanently closed and cannot be brought back to court.

According to court documents, a California judge granted the father of three's request to end the case filed by the 30-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite. The ruling blocks Rymir Satterthwaite from filing any future paternity lawsuits or requests for DNA testing.

In court documents, Satterthwaite claimed that the Roc Nation boss impregnated his late mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, in the 90s, making him his alleged biological father. Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, repeatedly denied being the man’s father and refused to take a DNA test to prove it beyond doubt.

Man claiming to be Jay-Z's son reacts to court ruling

In an Instagram post shared on 2 November 2025, Rymir Satterthwaite responded to the development in a video shared on his account. He said that despite the judge granting Jay-Z’s request, he would be continuing his legal fight, although he did not reveal how.

"So, what I say is stand on what you believe in, and so I want to hop on here and just let everybody know that we're continuing our fight,” Rymir said.

Rymir Satterthwaite also called the ruling fraudulent, saying:

“Honestly, when I say do what they want, they're using all these orders and these fake orders and creative orders that they got off of fraud and continuing to use them, and we're supposed to pay sanctions and all these types of things, and that won't happen. I'm sorry. I say I would never pay a sanction that's based on fraud.”
