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.

I'm sorry. I say I would never pay a sanction that's based on fraud.”
