Jay-Z is once again making headlines, this time due to a lawsuit filed by Rymir Satterthwaite claiming that the rapper is his biological father. Tia Kemp, a key figure in the ongoing saga, recently shared her thoughts on the matter. In a tweet posted by TeaWithTia on July 19, she expressed her frustration with Jay-Z’s refusal to take a DNA test to confirm paternity. The tweet highlighted Jay-Z’s legal maneuvers to dismiss Rymir’s case and avoid the test, citing a series of past court rulings dating back to 2010 that failed to compel the rapper to undergo testing.
Tia Kemp also referenced Wanda Satterthwaite, Rymir’s mother, who allegedly named Jay-Z as a potential father, ruling out another man through DNA testing. The tweet suggested that Jay-Z’s reluctance to take the test could be linked to Wanda conceiving Rymir as a minor, hinting at a possible legal strategy to avoid paternity claims. The tweet quickly gained traction on social media, garnering over 480K views and 4.8K likes.
In response to the lawsuit filed by Rymir Satterthwaite, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, pushed back against the allegations in a legal filing obtained by E! News. The filing accused Rymir and his godmother Lillie Coley of harassment and claimed that the rapper had been unfairly targeted with baseless claims. Jay-Z requested additional time to respond to the lawsuit, citing a pattern of harassment and legal manipulation orchestrated by Rymir and his associates.
The legal documents revealed that Jay-Z had not formally acknowledged or denied his relationship with Rymir, despite the ongoing legal battle. The lawsuit alleged that Jay-Z had engaged in a sexual relationship with Wanda Satterthwaite when she was a minor, leading to Rymir’s birth. The rapper’s legal team argued that the lawsuit was part of a prolonged campaign to obstruct justice and tarnish Jay-Z’s reputation.
Rymir Satterthwaite, who was raised by his godmother Lillie Coley after his mother’s passing, has pursued a career in music and social media, amassing a following on Instagram. In a 2023 interview with The Daily Mail, Rymir expressed his desire for justice and closure in his paternity case, hoping that Jay-Z would acknowledge his paternal relationship in the future.
As the legal battle between Jay-Z and Rymir continues to unfold, Tia Kemp’s remarks add a new dimension to the controversy. Whether Jay-Z will eventually submit to a DNA test or address Tia’s claims remains to be seen. The public’s interest in the case shows no signs of waning, as the saga of Jay-Z and Rymir Satterthwaite continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
