Jay-Z’s ‘illegitimate son’ saga takes a new twist amid explosive rape allegations

Jay-Z is facing renewed calls to confirm the paternity of his “illegitimate son,” dealing another legal blow to the beleaguered rapper who was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl last weekend.

The record executive, 55, real name Shawn Carter, has been named in a civil lawsuit, accused of raping a woman alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in September 2000, when she was 13 years old.

Now he’s being dragged back into the ongoing legal battle over the paternity of Rymir Satterthwaite, who has been locked in a decade-long battle to prove the rapper is his biological father.

Satterthwaite, 31, claims Carter’s legal team acted fraudulently during previous attempts to get him to take a paternity test.

Satterthwaite, his late mother Wanda and his guardian Dr. Lillie Coley are listed as plaintiffs in a new lawsuit against multiple New Jersey courts, judges and officials, including the New Jersey Supreme Court, alleging violations of their constitutional rights.

The lawsuit, filed on Nov. 25, alleges that from 2012 to 2023, their “rights were violated through fraudulent lawsuits, including sealed documents, unlawful sanctions, and obstruction of their legal processes.”

He is being dragged back into the ongoing legal battle over the paternity of Rymir Satterthwaite, who has been in a decade-long battle to prove the rapper is his father.

Wanda, who died in 2019, claimed she had sex with Carter in 1992 when she was 16 and he was 22, in an affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com. Satterthwaite was born in the summer of 1993.

At the time, she was in an on-again, off-again relationship with her high school sweetheart Robert Graves.

In 2010, she asked a Pennsylvania court to have both men take a paternity test to determine her son’s real father.

The case began with a preliminary investigation in Camden County, New Jersey on August 13, 2012.

During the preliminary investigation, Carter’s attorney argued that Dr. Coley — who has acted as Satterthwaite’s legal guardian since his mother transferred custody due to failing health in 2011 — had “no jurisdiction” over his case because it was first filed by Wanda in Pennsylvania, and therefore must be heard in the same state.

The case was dismissed outright because Satterthwaite was over 18 at the time of the preliminary investigation and Pennsylvania state law requires paternity to be established before a child reaches adulthood.

The court ruled that the case must be tried under New Jersey law, which states that the age of “ancestry” is 23.

Carter’s legal team then argued that the rapper should be exempt from taking a DNA test in New Jersey because he did not live in the state or own any property — despite public records linking him to homes in Alpine and Newport.

Wanda made the claims in an affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com

On December 12, 2012, his New Jersey attorney, Lise Fisher, admitted she had “made a mistake” when she said Carter owned no property in New Jersey.

In court transcripts obtained by DailyMail.com, Fisher said: “I submitted into evidence at my client’s cross motion an opening statement and verified the opening statement signed by her which specifically states Mr. Carter’s residence in New York.

‘I misspoke at the last hearing because I really thought that was his home address. I didn’t know this was his business address. So I apologize for that.”

At the time, Carter’s Roc Nation was based in New York – the address his lawyer claimed was his home address.

Fisher continued, “That said, he has a residence in New York. That’s what counts. That’s where he lives. That’s where he lives. And nothing will change that.’

However, Fisher was made aware of Carter’s New Jersey properties through the motion for reconsideration, which included the deeds and tax records.

New Jersey law states that an attorney commits fraud when he knowingly makes false statements.

When fraud is committed in court, anything that follows based on that fraudulent act is also considered fraudulent, meaning that any subsequent judgments or judgments resulting from the initial fraud are usually voidable and can be set aside.

The lawsuit came days before Carter was linked to the scandal surrounding 55-year-old Sean “Diddy” Combs

The new lawsuit alleges that the legal system conspired to deny the plaintiffs access to vital legal documents, improperly imposed sanctions without evidence, and blocked their appeals.

They further claim that multiple judges, including Deborah Silverman Katz, Charles W. Dortch Jr. and others, committed fraud by misrepresenting ownership and authorizing false claims by Carter.

The plaintiffs also allege that they have been repeatedly denied due process and disciplined for violating non-existent silence orders.

They are asking for a declaratory judgment to acknowledge that their constitutional rights have been violated and to make the court documents public.

The lawsuit also includes claims for “negligent infliction of emotional distress,” as the plaintiffs claim their ongoing legal battle has caused them “significant personal harm.”

They ask that the defendants be held accountable for their actions.

Satterthwaite and Coley believe Carter’s attorneys fought vigorously to prevent him from having to submit a paternity test for one simple reason: Wanda was a minor when she became pregnant.

The couple allegedly had sex in New York, where the age of consent is 17.

Satterthwaite believes Carter’s lawyers fought to prevent him from submitting a paternity test because Wanda was a minor when she became pregnant in 1992.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for comment.

The lawsuit came days before Carter was linked to the 55-year-old Combs scandal.

On Tuesday, Satterthwaite denounced Carter’s blistering response to allegations that he raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV VMAs after-party on September 7, 2000.

Carter denied the claims, insisting he has always fought to “protect children.”

“It is both heartbreaking and frustrating to see Mr. Carter respond to accusations with so much distraction and attack,” he told DailyMail.com of the statement.

“My late mother, Wanda, was only 16 years old when she became pregnant with me, and I spent years searching for clarity about my identity. This isn’t about greed or spectacle; it is about exposing the truth and ensuring all parties are held accountable.”

Satterthwaite addressed the statement, claiming that if Carter “values ​​the ideals of honor and protecting children,” he should stop refusing to acknowledge his paternity.

“Despite my best efforts, Mr. Carter has never written me a letter addressing these claims – whether denying or admitting paternity, or stating why his attorney committed this fraud,” he continued.

On Tuesday, Satterthwaite denounced Carter’s blistering response to allegations that he raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV VMA after-party on September 7, 2000.

“If Mr. Carter values ​​the ideals of honor and protection of children, as he claims in his letter, he must come forward with transparency. He continues to deviate and avoid.’

The lawsuit claims the woman, also named Jane Doe, was driven to a house party and offered her a drink that left her feeling “woozy, light-headed and numb.” [like] she had to lie down.’

Combs and Carter then allegedly entered the room as Combs declared, “You’re ready to party!”

She claims Carter then took off 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 heinous in nature that I urge you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil complaint!! Whoever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked up, don’t you think?’ Carter said in his statement.

“These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”
