Rymir Satterthwaite, the alleged son of rap star Jay-Z, believes the music mogul is dodging a paternity test because he knows what it means for them to have that relationship.
Satterthwaite, in a recent interview with US Sun, speculated that Jay-Z’s reluctance stemmed from the fact that Satterthwaite’s mother was only 16 years old when they allegedly slept together.
Satterthwaite, 31, first knocked on the court’s door in 2010, when he was trying to settle his claims of being Jay-Z’s son, and has been doing so ever since.
His most recent filing alleges that the court system defrauded him and violated his rights in the paternity suit.
Satterthwaite, in the interview, along with his godmother, Dr. Lillie Coley, said they first tried to resolve the paternity issue privately before getting lawyers involved.

Coley said that Jay-Z refused to take the test because he was afraid of revealing that Satterthwaite’s mother was 16 at the time they planned to have sex.
“He didn’t do this because Rymir’s mother is old. He had two problems: one, she was [16]and then she got pregnant.”
Satterthwaite added that he believes Jay-Z did not take the matter seriously, adding that he feels the rapper may suspect there is some truth to the claim.
Satterthwaite also spoke about his frustrations surrounding the lengthy trial process and that his pursuit was not about fame or money.
“I’m not really trying to pursue you, so as not to bring you fame or money,” he said. “I don’t want anything from you.”
Coley also connected the legal battle to the recent rape lawsuit against Jay-Z, saying the ramifications of those allegations could be clearly felt in their ongoing case.
“This is why you have to be careful in how you treat people and what you do because I believe you will reap what you sow,” she said.
After bringing charges in a lawsuit against several people in court, Satterthwaite and Coley said they had hindered Jay-Z’s push to admit he was the father.
Both are seeking a declaratory judgment that their constitutional rights were violated as well as damages and emotional distress from years of fighting.
In his interview with The Sun, Satterthwaite went on to say that it was “heartbreaking and frustrating” that Jay-Z chose to “deflect and attack” instead of directly responding to allegations regarding the issues. His current legal status.
“My late mother, Wanda, was only 16 years old when she became pregnant with me, and for years I searched for clarity about my identity,” Satterthwaite said.
“This is not about greed or spectacle – it’s about uncovering the truth and holding all parties accountable.”
