A paternity lawsuit filed by a man claiming to be Jay-Z’s son — Rymir Satterthwaite — has been dismissed with prejudice, Page Six has learned.
In documents obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, a California judge granted the rapper’s motion to dismiss a federal paternity suit filed earlier this year through legal guardian and paralegal Lillie Coley.
Despite repeatedly claiming he’s the son of the music mogul, the ruling means Satterthwaite, 30, can no longer file the same lawsuit or request paternity tests from Jay-Z — also known as Shawn Carter — in the matter.

Satterthwaite alleged in court documents that the “99 Problems” rapper impregnated his late mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, back in the ’90s — allegedly making Carter his biological father.
Carter has repeatedly denied he is Rymir’s father.
Rymir previously claimed he was withdrawing his federal paternity case.
“I did withdraw my case,” Rymir said in a July 27 Instagram upload, adding that he was abandoning the lawsuit because there was plenty “going on behind closed doors.”

“I have not stopped my fight,” Rymir continued. “We got to step back and play chess, not checkers.”
At the time, attorneys for Carter, 55, slammed the longtime paternity allegations as “harassment.”

“The fabricated allegations and claims have been addressed—and rejected—in multiple other courts,” the documents read, describing the legal actions as “just the latest” in a “decades long” string of “harassment.”
Rymir denied in documents that he was filing the suit for what amounts to back child support, but claimed instead he was seeking reputational and emotional distress damages.
