Jay Z Faces Paternity Lawsuit

Rap mogul Jay Z, is currently facing a paternity suit by an aspiring rapper from Philadelphia who claims to be his love child.

Rymer Satterthawite claims that he is the 'love child' of Shawn Carter, otherwise known as Jay Z. He also claims that his mother hooked up with 'Hard Knock's Life' singer during the early 1990s, long before Jay-Z left the Brooklyn's Marcy Housing Projects to become one of the most influential figures in the music industry.

The paternity issue began five years ago when Satterthwaite's mother forced Jay Z to take a paternity test right after it was concluded from a different paternity test that another man was not Satterthawaite's biological father, according to Enquirer report.

New Jersey Superior Court Judge Edward McBride Jr, dismissed the initial case because of the lack of jurisdiction.

However, Coley also claims that Jay Z and his legal representative, Lise Fisher, provided fraudulent and false information to the judge, thus dismissing the case.

The lawsuit also brought up Jay Z's permanent place of residence, since he claims that he's from Manhattan. The rapper also owns real estate in New Jersey.

Jay-Z is one of the famous rap moguls of his time. He also has previous charges of weapon possession and drug charges but he straightened his record when he married former Destiny's child singer Beyonce Knowles. They have a 3 year old daughter together named Blue Ivy.
