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.
