Case Summary
A man alleging to be Jay-Z’s biological son has withdrawn his paternity lawsuit against the rap mogul but indicates this may not be the end of his legal pursuit. The case withdrawal comes amid his claims of judicial interference and celebrity influence, while Jay-Z’s legal team characterizes the man’s ongoing efforts as harassment that has already resulted in contempt orders.

The legal saga between hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and a man claiming to be his son has taken another dramatic turn, as Rymir Satterthwaite announced the withdrawal of his paternity lawsuit while simultaneously promising to continue his decades-long quest to prove biological parentage.
Satterthwaite, who has pursued various legal avenues against the Grammy-winning artist for years, confirmed the case withdrawal through a video posted to his Instagram account on Sunday. However, his announcement suggests this legal retreat may be strategic rather than permanent.
The Withdrawal Announcement
“I did withdraw my case; it’s for a reason, y’all,” Satterthwaite stated in his social media video. “It’s not (because) I’m stopping with it or not going to refile it. There’s a lot going on behind closed doors.”
