50 Cent is setting the record straight about rumors tying him to the legal battle involving a man claiming to be Jay-Z’s son.
On Wednesday, July 23, Fif posted a clip from a video that suggested he was getting involved in the case of 31-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite, who alleges that Jay-Z, 55, is his biological father—an accusation Hov has long denied.
“Yo I never met this kid and I’m not helping him with anything, keep my name out of this sh!t please,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption.
The post was in response to a YouTube video from a channel that claims to uncover “the truth behind celebrity drama, family secrets, and industry moves you were never meant to see.” In the video, the channel alleges that 50 personally contacted Rymir Satterthwaite and offered his legal team’s help, citing a supposed insider.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on July 10, Jay-Z’s attorney slammed the federal lawsuit filed by Satterthwaite as the latest attempt in a “decades-long harassment” campaign.
Satterthwaite claims his mother, Wanda, had a brief relationship with Jay-Z in the 1990s that resulted in his birth. He accuses the rapper of making “unrelenting efforts… to suppress the truth and silence those who dared to speak it,” and says he’s been targeted—including allegedly being shot six times—as part of an effort to keep him quiet.
Jay-Z’s legal team fired back, stating the accusations have been reviewed and dismissed in multiple courts. They noted that Satterthwaite’s persistence has already led to a contempt order.
Jay-Z previously addressed the speculation on his 2018 track “Heard About Us,” rapping:
“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.”
