Rymir Satterthwaite has been fighting to prove that Carter is his biological father for a decade, and his late mother, Wanda, claimed she was only 16 when she became pregnant.

‘My late mother, Wanda, was just 16 years old when she became pregnant with me, and for years I have sought clarity about my identity. It’s not about greed or spectacle; it’s about uncovering the truth and ensuring that all parties are held accountable.’

Rymir Sattherthwaite, who claims to be Jay-Z’s illegitimate son, has been left “heartbroken” by the rapper’s harsh response to allegations that he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl.
Rymir, 31, alleges that Jay-Z, 55, had a romantic affair with his late mother Wanda in the early 1990s. The rapper has never denied the affair, but has refused to take a test. paternity
The lawsuit was initially filed in the Southern District of New York in October against Diddy, and the lawsuit identifying the rapper was refiled on Sunday.
Carter issued a lengthy statement to DailyMail.com denying the claims made in the refiled lawsuit and insisting that he has always fought to “protect children.”
He said his “only anguish” is for his family, particularly his eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, 12, who is “at an age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims.”
He added: “I mourn another loss of innocence.”
Rymir attacked the statement, stating that if Carter “values the ideals of honor and protection of children” then he should stop refusing to acknowledge his paternity.
“Despite my efforts, Mr. Carter never wrote me a letter to address these claims, either to deny or acknowledge paternity, or to explain why his attorney committed this fraud,” he continued.
‘If Mr. Carter values the ideals of honor and protection of children, as he states in his letter, he should step forward with transparency. Continue deflecting and avoiding.’

The issue of Rymir’s paternity did not become a legal dispute until 2010, two years after Carter married Beyoncé, when she requested that a Pennsylvania court force both men to undergo a paternity test to determine who He was the real father of her son.
Rymir insists that Jay-Z’s legal team has made endless attempts to subvert the legal system to avoid conducting a test. It was discovered that Robert was not biologically related.
The case began with a pretrial phase in Camden County, New Jersey, on August 13, 2012.
During the pretrial phase, Carter’s attorney argued that Dr. Lillie Coley, who acted as Rymir’s legal guardian since his mother gave him custody in 2011, “had no jurisdiction” over his case because it was filed for the first time. once by Wanda in Pennsylvania, and therefore must be heard in the same state.
The case was dismissed outright because Rymir was over 18 at the time of the pretrial phase and, under Pennsylvania state law, paternity must be established before a child reaches adulthood.
The court ruled that the case should be tried under New Jersey law, which states the age of “kinship” is 23.
Carter’s legal team later argued that the rapper should be exempt from undergoing a DNA test in New Jersey because he did not live or own any property in the state, despite public records linking him to homes in Alpine and Newport.
Rymir has lost every case he has filed.
Rymir claims that Jay-Z’s legal team has made endless attempts to subvert the legal system to avoid performing a paternity test.
Carter and his wife Beyoncé, 43, formed a united front Monday night to attend the premiere of their 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy’s film Mufasa: The Lion King.
Rymir concluded: “I remain committed to seeking truth and justice for myself, for my mother, and for all those who deserve answers and accountability.”
Carter criticized the latest “idiotic” allegations against him in a lengthy statement and alleged that Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the lawsuit, engaged in unprofessional behavior.
The lawsuit claims Jane Doe was taken to a house party and offered a drink that made her feel “dizzy, lightheaded, and felt (like) she needed to lie down.”
Combs and Carter then allegedly entered the room and Combs declared, “You ready to party!”
She claims Carter then stripped her of her clothes, held her down and raped her while Diddy and an unnamed female celebrity watched. She says Combs also raped her while Carter and the woman watched.
These allegations are so egregious in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil complaint!! Whoever committed such a crime against a minor should be locked up, don’t you think? Carter said in his statement.
“These alleged victims would deserve true justice if that were the case.”
Buzbee has filed several lawsuits in recent months accusing Combs of assault and rape. This is the first lawsuit in which he names another high-profile defendant.
