Rymir Satterthwaite, the man who has long claimed to be the illegitimate son of Hip-Hop icon JAY-Z, has confirmed that he recently dropped the fraud portion of his legal battle against the rapper. However, he insists the move was strategic—not the result of any settlement, payout, or DNA test.
According to Satterthwaite, this is not a retreat but a recalibration in his broader paternity case. “I’m playing chess, not checkers,” he said, alluding to a bigger plan to combat what he describes as “bully tactics” being used against him.
Satterthwaite has been publicly fighting for years to compel JAY-Z, real name Shawn Carter, to take a DNA test to prove or disprove their biological connection. While the courts have consistently ruled against reopening the case, Satterthwaite continues to assert his rights, maintaining that the legal system has been manipulated in favor of the billionaire mogul.
The dismissal of the fraud claim marks another twist in a long-running saga that continues to blur the line between personal grievance and public spectacle. As of now, there’s no indication JAY-Z has responded to Satterthwaite’s latest comments.
