A paternity lawsuit brought by Limir Satterthwaite, a man who claims to be Jay-Z’s son, has been dismissed with prejudice, Page Six has learned.
A California judge granted the rapper’s motion to dismiss a federal paternity lawsuit filed earlier this year through his legal guardian, paralegal Lily Corey, according to documents obtained by Page Six on Wednesday.
Despite repeatedly claiming he is the music mogul’s son, the ruling means Satterthwaite, 30, can no longer pursue the same suit in the case or request a paternity test from Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter.
Page Six reached out to Jay-Z’s representatives for comment, but did not receive a response.
Satterthwaite claims in court documents that the 99 Problems rapper impregnated his late mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, in the ’90s, making Carter the biological father.
Carter has repeatedly denied that he is Rimil’s father.
Limil had previously insisted that the federal paternity lawsuit be dismissed.
“I have dropped the lawsuit,” Rimil said in an Instagram upload on July 27, adding that he was abandoning the lawsuit because “there is a lot going on behind closed doors.”
“I haven’t stopped fighting,” Rimir continued. “We have to step back and play chess, not checkers.”
At the time, a lawyer for Carter, 55, denounced the long-standing paternity suspicions as “harassment.”
“The fabricated claims and allegations have been raised and dismissed in multiple other courts,” the document says, adding that the legal action is “only the latest” in a series of “decades of harassment.”
In her documents, Limil denied that she was suing for an amount equivalent to back child support, but instead claimed that she was seeking damages for honor and emotional distress.
The aspiring musician alleged in the original document that the Grammy-winning artist “committed fraud in multiple courts, misrepresented facts, obstructed due process, and abused the legal systems of multiple jurisdictions to suppress Plaintiff Rimir’s paternity claims.”
In May 2023, Rimil filed a court order forcing Carter (father of 13-year-old Blue Ivy and 8-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with wife Beyoncé) to take a DNA test.
At that time, Rymir vowed not to back down. “This situation will not end until justice is served,” he told the Daily Mail in 2023.
“I won’t stop fighting for this until I win,” he added. “The law is on our side, so I will win.”
The “Empire State of Mind” rapper’s attorney responded in a letter to the outlet.
“This allegation has been thoroughly reviewed and refuted by the court beforehand,” they wrote.
“I am confident that will be the outcome of any application Mr Satterthwaite is currently considering.”
Satterthwaite, an aspiring rapper himself, claims his mother Wanda told him that Carter was his biological father when he was eight years old.
Wanda filed a civil lawsuit in New Jersey seeking child support from Carter, with whom she claims they had an on-and-off relationship before his death in 2016.
The suit was dismissed because it was filed in the wrong state and was not refiled until Corey and Limire filed papers in 2014.
The issue became public the following year, in 2015, when documents emerged that claimed Carter lied to a New Jersey court to avoid taking a DNA test.
