Jay-Z is maintaining his initial tone on his alleged love child's true identity!
The record executive has now disproved claims made by Rymir Satterthwaite as just another stunt in his series of harassment against him for years now.
Jay-Z's alleged love child first publicly claimed paternal ties with the rapper in 2015 with legal documents accusing him of evading a paternity test and bullying due to his celebrity status.
Jay-Z Slams Alleged Love Child

The rapper slammed Rymir's latest lawsuit, describing it as another fabricated story from a collection of decades-long harassment targeted at him. Jay-Z shared that he had just learned of the lawsuit last month, and his attorney had requested time to prepare a proper official response to Rymir's allegations.
The 31-year-old had accused Jay-Z of exploiting "legal systems in multiple jurisdictions to suppress Rymir's paternity claim and prevent legal accountability."
He noted that the process of getting Jay-Z to submit himself for a paternity test and the loopholes he had experienced had left him with emotional and psychological distress.
Rymir added that he developed several mental and physical health issues due to the stress of the case. The embarrassment and anxiety also came in significant measures.
Jay-Z, in his new response, described Rymir's claims as fabricated allegations and recycled false claims that have been rejected and addressed by different courts in the past.
"Satterthwaite's continued harassment of Jay-Z and disregard of those orders has already resulted in a contempt order," the response concluded, according to RadarOnline.
The Satterthwaites' Side Of The Story

Rymir had previously explained that his legal battle with Jay-Z is about pushing the court system to prioritize justice and not practice favoritism. He detailed his family's struggle to get to the bottom of the paternity issue, saying:
"Me, my godmother, my mother, and my entire family have been fighting really, really hard against very, very strong opposition."
Rymir's mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, also left a video recording of her version of events before she passed away in 2016. In the clip, she declared her support for her son to ascertain his connection to the rapper through a paternity test.
The accuser's godmother gave a new angle to the story, sharing that the rapper was hesitant to clear his name and do the rest because Wanda was a minor when they had sex.
Dr. Lillie Coley added that Jay-Z's refusal to resolve matters privately led them to seek his attention through a larger platform. "He could have still done something behind the scenes and come up with a good solution. And this would be over with – you don't even need the courts," Lillie noted.
Jay-Z Claimed Rape Allegations Put Him And Beyoncé In Harm's Way

The entrepreneur battled another hefty accusation from an anonymous client, represented by Tony Buzbee earlier in the year. As shared by The Blast, the accuser claimed that the rapper and his colleague Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted her at age 13.
Replying to the lawsuit, Jay Z shared that the lawsuit came with some dangerous attention around himself and his family, including death threats.
He also accused Buzbee of filing the lawsuit to force him into an uncomfortable situation with his family after his previous attempts to get money from him with several allegations.
"People have said, 'I can't wait until you join (Combs) in prison. Then later in hell,'" Jay-Z alleged in his complaint. "Other comments have accused me of being a 'satanist,' a 'trafficker,' a 'terrorist,' and a 'monster,'" the record executive shared as he slammed the lawsuits as "blatant blackmail attempts."
The father-of-three added that the accusation left a dent on his reputation and a leak in his pocket as he lost business deals and contracts totaling $20 million.
The 'Hard Knock Life' Rapper Takes Subtle Jab At Kanye 'Ye' West

The 55-year-old showed up at his wife's Paris concert last month, where he drove another nail into the coffin of his legendary friendship with Ye.
As reported by The Blast, he performed their famous song "N-gg-s In Paris" from their critically acclaimed album "Watch The Throne" and wittingly adjusted a section.
"Gold bottles, scold models, Spillin' Ace on my sick J's. (Ball so hard) B-tch, behave. Just might let you meet Bey," Jay-Z rapped, seemingly replacing "Ye" with his wife's name, "Bey."
Ye had taken a jab at the Roc Nation founder during one of his X rants, where he used an insensitive term for his kids and also questioned their friendship. In his words:
"HOV NOT COMING TO MY FIRST WEDDING, HIM PUTTING KENDRICK ON THE SUPER BOWL OVER ME ON EVEN US NEVER BEING INVITED TO SH-T TAKING JABS ABOUT MY RED HAT ON DONDA."
He added that the power couple could have used their "cultural positions" to give him leverage over the Kardashians, who have allegedly taken control of the kids he shares with ex, Kim Kardashian.
Although the rapper apologized for his outburst, it seems the deed had already been done.
Beyoncé Reportedly Working On A Tell-All Memoir

Everyone connected to the hip-hop legend seems to have so much to say, including his wife, who has been documenting everything happening in her life for a while now for an upcoming memoir.
The mother-of-three has reportedly drawn so much inspiration from her mother, Tina Knowles' recent memoir, and is prepared to find her voice and tell her story.
"Beyoncé has been private about her personal life, but she documents everything, so she has technically been writing one for over a decade now," a source added.
She is reportedly getting all the support behind the scenes to set the narratives straight this one time, including her marriage and Jay-Z's rumored infidelity.
Things got messy with the family in 2014 after an outburst from Beyoncé's sister, Solange Knowles, inside an elevator where she was seen physically attacking the rapper. Sources claimed it was due to the alleged infidelity, as Beyoncé failed to intervene in the attack or hold her sister from hitting her husband.
The family has since addressed the issues in a statement, describing it as one of those things a family goes through, but speculations abound that there is more to the story.
Will Jay-Z succeed in getting Rymir Satterthwaite's case dismissed for good this time?
