Jay-Z leaves court with a six-figure payout after paternity lawsuit is thrown out

Jay-Z paternity case has been dismissed, marking the official end of a years-long legal battle tied to claims made by Rymir Satterthwaite. On January 15, 2026, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice and ordered roughly $120,000 in legal fees to be paid to Jay-Z under California’s anti-SLAPP law, effectively closing the door on any future attempts to revive the case. Satterthwaite’s side had tried repeatedly to force a DNA test and revive allegations that Jay-Z declined, and after motions, filings and disputes across state and federal courts, the latest attempt was dismissed with prejudice, meaning the case can’t be refiled. The judge sided with Jay-Z’s legal team, concluding that the prolonged legal push had no legal basis and that the effort to compel DNA or f...
