A thirty-year-old man has come forward, alleging that he is Jay-Z's secret illegitimate son.
According to him, Jay-Z has employed various legal strategies for more than ten years to avoid submitting to paternity testing.
Since he was 21, Rymir Satterthwaite has made it his mission to prove that the rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is his biological father.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Rymir from New Jersey expressed his determination to ensure justice in the roller coaster case. He was unwavering in his stance that it is of utmost importance, and he won't stop until it's achieved.
The man declared that the only thing satisfying him was for the renowned hip-hop mogul to recognize him as his son.
Attorneys for Jay-Z have responded to Rymir's accusations, submitting a letter to the outlet that firmly contests his assertions.
According to the lawyers, it has already been established that these allegations are baseless, and they expect the same result should any further claims be pursued by Rymir.
Rymir declared confidently how justice would prevail in the end.
"All I want is to live my life and, should it be the Lord's wish, potentially enjoy Jay-Z's presence in it."
He continued his passionate plea, "I won't settle for anything less than victory here and I'm certain that I shall succeed as the law is on our side."
With the hope of finding justice, Rymir went before the New Jersey Supreme Court in February this year and filed a petition.
The outlet obtained this request, which sought that court documents from 2012 onwards be made public, as he claims that keeping the case obscured has denied him his rights.
Rymir submitted a comprehensive 29-page document to outline every aspect of their years-long legal case; however, this motion was denied by Supreme Court as it needed to have authority over matters in appellate court or unseal documents from prior trials.
Consequently, Rymir resubmitted their request to New Jersey Superior Court's Appellate Division, which is currently being scrutinized.
Who Is Jay-Z's 'Illegitimate' Son?
Rymir's legal battle against the "N*ggas In Paris" rapper dates back to 1992 when Rymir's late mother, Wanda, made a claim involving her turbulent relationship with her high school sweetheart and an alleged sexual encounter with the artist.
This is the latest episode in this drawn-out case.
When they met, Wanda was just a teenager, and Jay-Z was a mere 22 years old. The world had yet to be exposed to the superstar rapper he would become following his first major-label album, Reasonable Doubt, in 1996.
According to Rymir, his mother's alleged romance with Jay-Z had concluded by July 1993 when he was born.
That partially accounts for why she decided to list her high school sweetheart, Robert Graves - who had reconciled with Wanda and was present in the hospital at Rymir's birth - as his biological father on his birth certificate.
Rymir claims that his mother's relationship with Jay-Z was brief, concluding before he was born in July 1993.
Nevertheless, an individual familiar with Wanda's situation confirms that she knew from early on that Robert wasn't Rymir's actual father - something which became increasingly apparent as her son grew and lacked any physical resemblance to her former flame.

From the time he was eight years old, Rymir says his mother imparted to him that Jay-Z - already famous for music on an international level - was his genuine father.
Nevertheless, it wasn't until 2010, two years after Jay-Z's relationship with Beyonce had begun, that the issue of his paternity turned into a lawful conflict as Wanda's health started to deteriorate.
When the situation arose, she was adamant in her claims that only two males had shared physical relations with her before Rymir's conception - a former high school flame named Michael and Jay-Z.
Therefore, she requested a Pennsylvania court to require both parties to provide DNA evidence as part of a paternity test to discover who the rightful parent was.
In compliance with a ruling from the court, Robert willingly agreed to participate in DNA testing. This gave indisputable evidence that there was no genetic connection between him and Rymir.
For many years, Rymir's birth certificate has contained a blank space where his birth father's name should have been.
