Overview

• On July 18, Rymir Satterthwaite formally withdrew the federal lawsuit accusing Jay-Z of refusing a DNA test.
• A 2022 New Jersey court injunction bars Satterthwaite from filing any related paternity suits without prior approval, and he is now appealing that order.
• Jay-Z’s attorneys have labeled the claims “fabricated allegations” and urged a judge to dismiss the case and enforce the injunction.
• Satterthwaite contends he was never properly notified of the restraining order and intends to refile once his appeals are resolved.
• The long-running paternity dispute, which began in 2010, remains unsettled as Satterthwaite seeks biological confirmation and Jay-Z continues to deny the claims.
