News : Jay-Z fires back at man claiming to be his secret son

Jay-Z has hit back at a man claiming to be his son.

The musician, who is married to pop star Beyonce, has alleged Rymir Satterthwaite made "fabricated allegations" and asked a federal judge to intervene.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) called the recent federal lawsuit brought by Rymir Satterthwaite "just the latest" in Satterthwaite and his godmother's "decades-long harassment".

"The fabricated allegations and claims have been addressed - and rejected - in multiple other courts, and continued harassment and disregard of those orders has already resulted in a contempt order."

Satterthwaite is now 32. He filed a federal lawsuit against Jay-Z on 6 May, accusing the music mogul of attempting to keep him silent about his paternity.

The rapper claims his mother, Wanda, had relations with Jay-Z in the 1990s. After she died, he was cared for by his godmother, who has faced "unrelenting efforts by (Jay-Z) and his enablers to suppress the truth and silence those who dared to speak it".

Satterthwaite alleges Jay-Z has refused to take a paternity test or respond to his claims directly.

Satterthwaite insists he doesn't seek fame or fortune, but simply the truth.

"Why can't he prove me wrong?" he asked the Daily Mail in December.

"Go to the courtroom and do what everyone else has to do. I can take a no. I can take being embarrassed. I just can't take him not saying anything. It is not fair."
