A 30-year-old man from New Jersey is claiming to be the secret, illegitimate son of rapper Jay-Z and has been fighting to prove his paternity for over a decade.
According to Daily Mail, Rymir Satterthwaite is taking his battle to the Supreme Court in an attempt to unseal the case and force Jay-Z to take a DNA test. He insists that he wants nothing from the rapper other than for him to acknowledge him as his son.

Jay-Z’s attorneys deny the allegations
The rapper’s attorneys have denied the allegations, stating they have been refuted in court. Rymir filed a motion with the New Jersey Supreme Court to unseal years’ worth of documents, but it was rejected due to jurisdiction.
The case dates back to 1992 when Rymir’s mother alleged she had a fling with Jay-Z while in a relationship with her high school sweetheart, reports The Sun.
