A woman who claimed she had an illegitimate son with world-famous rapper Jay-Z laid bare intimate details about their alleged fling in a signed affidavit – describing the series of events that led up to what she says was the moment her child was conceived. 

Wanda Satterthwaite, who passed away in 2019, insisted until the day she died that Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter – is the father of her son, Rymir, now 30, and she fought until her final days to try and make the rapper take a paternity test to prove her child’s parentage once and for all. 

Now, for the first time, Rymir is sharing his mother’s own recollection of the night she says she and Jay-Z had sex, revealing to DailyMail.com the affidavit in which she shared her memories of that evening in 1992. 

In the document, which is dated February 25, 2015, Rymir’s ailing mother claimed that she and Jay-Z met through a mutual friend, that they spent a night together at the rapper’s aunt’s apartment in Brooklyn – and, most damningly, that they had ‘protected sex’ but that the ‘protection broke’. 

Jay-Z’s attorney’s have repeatedly denied the claims made by all of the parties involved, including Wanda, Rymir and Rymir’s godmother Lillie Collie, who Wanda gave custody to when she became gravely ill and unable to care of her son. 

Wanda Satterthwaite claimed that she had an illicit encounter with Jay-Z in 1992 – and that the rapper, now 53, is the father of her son, Rymir (seen together)  

In a signed affidavit written in 2015 and then given to DailyMail.com by her son, Wanda – who passed away months later – claimed that she met Jay-Z in Philadelphia, alleging that he went by the name ‘Rock’ while she referred to herself as ‘Carmel’ or ‘Precious’

In her affidavit, Wanda claims that her son Rymir (left) was conceived that night, alleging that she had ‘protected sex’ with Jay-Z (seen right in 2015) but that the ‘protection broke’

At the time of her alleged encounter with the rapper, Wanda says that Jay-Z went by the street name ‘Rock’ a pre-curser to his billion-dollar company, Roc Nation. 

Jay-Z did not know her as Wanda, she claims, stating in the affidavit that she went by the aliases ‘Carmel’ and ‘Precious.’ In 1992, when she says her meeting with Jay-Z took place, Wanda was 16 years old and in high school. Jay-Z – who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York – was 22. 

Wanda further claimed that the only person who knew about the alleged encounter was her friend, Kaleesha Allen, who signed the affidavit as an eyewitness. 

‘Affidavit of Wanda Satterthwaite and Shawn Carter relationship,’ the document, which was signed by a Notary Public in the State of New Jersey on February 25, 2015, begins.

‘I, Wanda Satterthwaite, write these allegations about my relationship with Shawn C. Carter. I met Shawn Corey Carter in fall 1992 and he identifies himself as “Rock” through my friend Kaleesha Allen, who is eyewitness.

‘Mr. Carter and a friend came to Philadelphia to pick up both me and Kaleesha around the area of 24th and Bolton St. in Philadelphia.

‘I went by the name Carmel or Precious. Kaleesha rode in the front of the car with Shawn’s friend while Wanda aka Carmel/Precious rode in the back with Shawn.

‘The driver drove what looked like an Eldorado car, which was gold/yellow. We were taken back to Shawn’s aunts’ apartment in Brooklyn Projects in New York.’

Wanda (seen left alone and right with Rymir) claims that Jay-Z did not know her by her real name, stating in the affidavit that she went by the aliases ‘Carmel’ and ‘Precious.’ 

She goes on to claim in the affidavit that Jay-Z was ‘wearing a black Woolrich hood jacket’ at the time Wanda (seen with a friend) says she met him

Wanda’s affidavit continues with a description of the building she says they entered. 

‘The building had an elevator with gates and mirrors inside,’ she wrote. ‘I am unsure of which floor it was on, but the apartment had two bedrooms and the bedrooms were off to your left once you entered the apartment.’

She states that the group ‘talked, drank, and danced’, before her ‘girlfriend went off to the room with Shawn’s friend and I went with Shawn [to the other room]’.

Wanda continues by describing the outfit she claims Jay-Z was wearing: ‘Shawn was wearing a black Woolrich hood jacket and a hat, and his hair was in a small afro, but once we left his aunt’s place, he put on a black leather jacket.’

She claims that she and Jay-Z used protection during their alleged encounter, but that the protection broke. 

‘Shawn and I did have protected sex, but the protection broke,’ Wanda wrote. 

The affidavit continues with Wanda alleging that Jay-Z and his friend – who was not named in the document – ‘returned two weeks later to see’ her and Kaleesha, but that Kaleesha was not there at the time because she was ‘having problems at home’.  

‘Shawn asked me to leave with him, but I told him I could not because my mother would be upset,’ she wrote. ‘I never saw him again until a year later on television, but I had no idea of his real name until later and did not know how to reach him.’

The document, which was given to DailyMail.com by Wanda’s son Rymir, was signed by his late mom and Kaleesha, the woman she says was with her at the Brooklyn apartment. 

Rymir and Lillie have been fighting to prove that Jay-Z is his father since he was 21 years old. In February, Rymir filed a new motion with the New Jersey Supreme Court. He asked the court to unseal years of documents that date back to 2012. He argued that keeping them unsealed prevented him from getting justice. 

Rymir (seen in a recent selfie) was told that Jay-Z was his father by Wanda when he was eight years old. He recently told DailyMail.com, ‘I won’t stop fighting until I win. And I will win’

The Supreme Court rejected his new motion, which highlights specific points throughout the case in 29 pages. The court stated that it did not have jurisdiction to re-open matters in the appeals court or to unseal records in the trial court.

Rymir then filed a motion with the Appellate division, which was denied on May 8. He says he will now file an appeal with the District Court.  

Last week, Rymir spoke to DailyMail.com about the case and said, ‘I won’t stop fighting for this until I win. And I will win because the law is on our side. This is not going to be over until justice is served.’

‘I just want to live my life and, when it is all said and done, I hope that Jay-Z would want to be a part of my life, if that is God’s will.’ 

Wanda claims she had sex with Jay-Z in 1992 and, at the time, the rapper was far from the global icon he is today. It was four years before the release of his debut studio album, Reasonable Doubt, in 1996. 

At the time of their tryst, Wanda was in an on-again, off-again relationship with her high-school sweetheart, Robert Graves. 

However, she says it was her alleged one-night stand with Jay-Z – which she kept hidden from Robert – during which her son Rymir was conceived. 

When Wanda gave birth to Rymir in July 1993, Robert was by her side in the hospital and signed Rymir’s birth certificate as his biological father. 

A family insider says that Wanda knew that Robert was not Rymir’s real dad early on when he looked nothing like him. Rymir says that Wanda told him that Jay-Z was his biological father when he was eight years old. 

It was not until 2010, when Wanda’s heart condition, which was the result of untreated Scarlet Fever when she was two years old, did the case of paternity become an issue. 

When Wanda met Jay-Z, he was just a normal guy. When she began her plea for a paternity test, he was a mega superstar, marrying his wife Beyoncé in 2008. 

Wanda was sure that she had sex with only two men when she became pregnant in 1992. The two men were Robert and Jay-Z.  

She filed paperwork with a Pennsylvania court to make both men take a paternity test in order to determine who was her son’s real father. 

When the court issued an order, Robert agreed to undergo genetic testing – proving once without any shadow of a doubt that he and Rymir had no biological relation.  

Wanda (pictured with Rymir leaving a courthouse following a proceeding regarding the paternity case in February 2015) died in 2019 from heart failure at age 43 in 2019

Rymir (in a 2022 selfie) told his YouTube followers last year, ‘I will not let anyone put this on my name, my mother’s name, or my godmother’s name. We will fight for what is right’

Robert’s name was removed from Rymir’s birth certificate by the court and has remained blank ever since.

In 2011, Wanda handed over custody of her son to Rymir’s godmother Lillie, who has been fighting on behalf of Rymir ever since. Lillie told DailyMail.com, ‘I was just trying to help my goddaughter’s child have a relationship with his father.’

Recounting how Rymir was forced to accept the fact that his mother was dying at the time, Lillie added, ‘It was so hard on him because he was ripped away from his mom and had no one to call dad.’

That same year, multiple reports surfaced alleging that Jay-Z had fathered another son with a Trinidadian model, Shennelle Scott – claims that the rapper’s team were quick to dismiss as ‘ridiculous rumors.’

In 2012, Lillie and Rymir began to pursue legal action against Jay-Z – a battle that has now spanned more than ten years and seen the pair embroiled in endless legal back-and-forth’s with the rapper’s attorneys.

Rymir insists that Jay-Z’s lawyers have attempted to subvert the system so that their client did not have to take a paternity test, which Rymir believes would put an end to the case once and for all. 

Documentation about every legal proceeding is enclosed in Rymir’s new motion – which has been seen by DailyMail.com and which outlines how the case began with a pre-trial in Camden County, New Jersey on August 13, 2012. 

During the pre-trial, Jay-Z’s legal team argued that the New Jersey court had ‘no jurisdiction’ over the case, because it had first been filed by his mother Wanda in Pennsylvania.  

Therefore, Jay-Z’s attorney said the case should be dismissed outright because Rymir was over 18 years old at the time of the pre-trial. Pennsylvania law states that paternity must be established before a child reached the age of adulthood. 

The court, however, disagreed, stating that the case should be decided under New Jersey law, which defines the age of parentage as being 23 years old.   

Jay-Z’s lawyers argued that he should be exempt from undergoing a DNA test in New Jersey because he did not live, or own any property in the state – despite several news articles linking him to homes in Alpine and Newport. 

‘My client does not have contacts in New Jersey. He doesn’t own residences. He doesn’t own anything in Alpine. He doesn’t own anything in Newport. I don’t know why that information is out there. It is on the internet,’ his lawyer told the court. 

As a result of this argument, the judge dismissed the case. 

Rymir’s attorneys immediately appealed the verdict – insisting that they had evidence in the form of three property deeds and tax records, proving that Jay-Z owned several properties in New Jersey and that his attorney therefore committed ‘fraud’ by stating otherwise in court. 

DailyMail.com obtained the court transcript from August 13, 2012, where Jay-Z’s attorney Lise Fisher told the court that he ‘doesn’t own residences’ in New Jersey, thus giving the state no jurisdiction to require him to take the paternity test 

Lillie submitted these documents to the court to show that Jay-Z owned properties in New Jersey, which would give the court jurisdiction to require DNA testing. The court, however, ruled in favor of Jay-Z 

Civil rights group NAACP has sent multiple letters to New Jersey state legislatures demanding that Rymir get due process

Jay-Z and Beyoncé (at the Grammy Awards in 2015) have never spoken publicly about the case. In a letter to DailyMail.com, the rappers attorney’s denied Rymir and Wanda’s claims

DailyMail.com has included the court transcripts, as well as the deeds, in this article, which were supplied by Rymir. 

For several of the properties, Jay-Z is still listed as the owner under his legal name, Shawn Corey Carter. In addition, several of his immediate family members are also listed.

Rymir and his legal team submitted the deeds as evidence for their appeal and the case resumed on December 12, 2012. 

During a hearing as part of that trial, Jay-Z’s attorney noted that she had ‘misspoken’ about where he really lived – having told the court that the rapper lived at 411 Broadway in New York City, which is actually the office of his record label Roc Nation. 

‘I did misspeak at the last hearing because I really did think that Broadway was his home address,’ Fisher stated.

However, the case was still dismissed, after the rapper’s lawyer contented that Rymir and Lillie had failed to prove that the ‘Shawn Corey Carter’ listed on the deeds was in fact her client and not another person of the same name..  

‘Plaintiff’s request for genetic testing and for support is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and for lack of personal jurisdiction, over defendant Shawn Corey Carter, without prejudice,’ the court ruled. 

In December 2014, Rymir filed a civil lawsuit against Jay-Z and his attorney, during which the rapper’s legal team made the same argument that they had done during the 2012/2013 hearing – that he did not own any property in New Jersey and could therefore not be subject to a paternity ruling in the state. 

Again, the court ruled in Jay-Z’s favor and dismissed the case.

Up until now, the entire case has been sealed by the court – which means that the public cannot obtain files pertaining to the case. Rymir will stop at nothing to have the documents unsealed. 

Many of these documents are already publicly available online on a website created by Rymir.

Rymir will continue to fight for his right to have due process – for himself, for those who have supported him and, especially for his mother, Wanda. In 2016, Rymir’s bedridden mother spoke out again in support of the case. 

‘My name is Wanda Satterthwaite, and I am the mother of Rymir Satterthwaite,’ she stated in a video shared with RadarOnline. 

‘Today is April 20, 2016, and I want the world to know that I support my son in his paternity suit with Shawn Corey Carter. I stand by my allegations regarding this man.’

In 2015, Rymir sued Jay-Z for civil damages, claiming that the rapper had obstructed his ability to get closure. 

In 2017, Rymir and Lillie filed a civil rights complaint to Judge Glenn A. Grant for violations that included not following normal procedures for court services based on gender, class, and retaliation.

They also filed civil rights complaints to New Jersey’s Attorney General, the Governor of New Jersey, various New Jersey senators and the Judicial Conduct Board in New Jersey.

They repeated the civil rights violations complaints to the same parties again in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. All of these claims were dismissed. 

In a 2022 YouTube video, Rymir made clear his feelings about the case, telling the world: ‘I don’t feel like our rights are appreciated. There is a lot of fraud and collusion that has been going on. I am not going to let that pass.

‘We are going in there with our hard-earned money to fight fraud. The judges are allowing this to go on. Someone over them should be held responsible for this.

‘I just want everyone to keep their eyes open. We should never go into a court room and feel like we are the victims. We got stepped on and tried to get dragged through the system.

‘I will not let anyone put this on my name, my mother’s name, or my godmother’s name. We will fight for what is right like we have been doing all these years,’ Rymir said in the video.’

Jay-Z has never publicly spoken about the case. In his 2018 album with Beyoncé called The Carters – You Heard About Us, he vaguely addressed the accusations.

The lyrics to the song state, ‘Billie Jean in his prime. For the thousandth time, the kid ain’t mine. Online they call me dad, kiddingly. You’re not supposed to take this dad thing literally.’
