Jay-Z has been slammed by his so-called "illegitimate son" for getting his mum pregnant when she was 16.
Rapper Rymir Satterthwaite has claimed that he is the son of Jay-Z and Wanda Satterthwaite, who claimed to have had unprotected sex with the Roc Nation mogul during an alleged fling before her death in 2019. It's claimed that Wanda was 16 when she fell pregnant, allegedly with Jay-Z's baby.
Currently, the dad-of-three is facing is facing allegations in a civil law suit that he raped a 13-year-old after the 2000 MTV Music Video Awards. The 55-year-old has strongly denied the allegations. A lawsuit which was originally filed in October against Jay's pal, P Diddy, was refiled on Sunday and named the musician, whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter as a defendant over the alleged incident.
Now, Rymir has addressed Jay-Z's blistering response to the allegations which he described as "heinous". In a new interview, he has said it was "heartbreaking" and "frustrating" to see Jay''s response to the claims. "It is both heartbreaking and frustrating to see Mr. Carter respond to allegations with such deflection and attacks," he said.

Rymir went on to tell the publication that Jay-Z has "never once" written to him to address the allegations that he's his biological father. "Whether to deny or acknowledge paternity, or to address why his attorney's committed this fraud," commented. He went on to say that Jay-Z "continues to deflect and avoid" claims surrounding him.
Wanda alleged that she and Jay-Z had sex in 1992 when he was 22 and she was 16. At the time, she was romantically involved with her high school boyfriend, Robert Graves. However, the debate surrounding Rymir's paternity emerged in 2010, just two years after Jay-Z and Beyoncé tied the knot.
His mother requested that a court in Pennsylvania ordered both Graves and Carter to take a paternity test to discover Rymir's paternity. He claims that Jay-Z's legal aids had made attempts to "subvert the legal system" after it emerged that Graves had no relation to Rymir.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z's legal team argued that Dr. Lillie Coley, who was Rymir's legal guardian after his mother handed over custody in 2011 had "no jurisdiction" as it was filed in Pennsylvania by Wanda. The pre-trial took place in Camden County, New Jersey, on August 13, 2012.
The case was later dismissed as Rymir was over the age of 18 during the pre-trial and Pennsylvania laws state that paternity should be determined before a child reaches adulthood. However, the court heard that the case should be tried under New Jersey law as the age of 'parentage' is 23 there.

Jay-Z responded to the rape claims in a strong statement published on social media. He called the claims against him 'so heinous in nature' and slammed Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee, who is representing 120 alleged victims of Sean 'Diddy' Combs. He said: "These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.
"This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics! I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over. I'm more than prepared to deal with your type. You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honor nor dignity."
Jay-Z went on to say how it was "unfair" that his family will also be affected by the lawsuit. "My only heartbreak is for my family," he wrote. "My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.
"I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit. My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit."
Carter recently filed a motion to make the woman who accused him of raping her reveal her identity. His attorney, Alex Spiro, filed documents on Monday morning asking the judge to make the plaintiff reveal herself. His lawyer said: "Fair is fair. It is not consistent with justice, fairness, or the rules governing federal proceedings for the Plaintiff and her counsel to smear [Jay-Z]'s good name."
The documents, seen by the Mirror go on to state that Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, had built an "impeccable reputation" and has never been accused of, or engaged in, sexual misconduct.
