Who is Jay-Z’s alleged ‘secret son’ Rymir Satterthwaite and how has the rapper responded to his paternity claims?

RYMIR Satterthwaite claims he is the lovechild of US rapper Jay-Z.

But who is he, what has Jay-Z said about the allegations, and how many kids does he have? Here's our lowdown...

Who is Jay-Z's alleged 'secret son' Rymir Satterthwaite?

Rymir Satterthwaite claims he is Jay Z's illegitimate son - something the rapper has consistently denied.

Rymir claims he was first told by mum Wanda that she believed Jay Z was his father when he was around eight.

Wanda, 43, has said she hooked up with the rapper - then known as “Rock” - in 1992 at his aunt’s apartment in the projects of Brooklyn, New York, after he first picked her up from Philadelphia.

The pair allegedly used protection but it failed - and aside from a visit from him two weeks later - the pair never saw each other again and Wanda had no idea how to contact him.

Although Wanda's live-in boyfriend Robert Graves was originally listed on the birth certificate - he was legally removed in 2011 after a DNA test proved he was not the father.

What has Jay-Z said about the allegations?

Jay Z has never publicly spoken about the case. Sun Online has reached out several times to his representatives and never received a response.

His lawyer stated that the rapper is "not an interested party with respect to the custody of Rymir Satterthwaite," in legal papers filed in 2011.

He added "there has been no determination or viable claim of a familial relationship with Mr Carter."

Back in 2011 the rap star denied reports he had fathered a different child with a model called Shenelle Scott. His reps said at the time there was "not truth" to the "ridiculous rumours".

Recently, Rymir released a track called Stacks about how Jay Z has allegedly been trying to stop him from making it in the music industry due to the controversial case.

How many children does Jay Z have?

In 2011 Beyonce revealed she was pregnant with the couple's first child - Blue Ivy Carter, who was born on 7 January 2012.

In June 2018, she gave birth to twins - a daughter, Rumi, and a son, Sir.
