The pressure is building for Jay Z.
Last year, a 21-year-old aspiring rapper named Rymir Satterthwaite claimed Jay Z was his biological father, but thus far Mr. Beyonce has refused to take a paternity test.
And now, the Families Civil Liberties Union is getting involved, according to Radar Online.
The president of the association, Gregory T. Roberts, wrote a letter to Jay Z’s legal team, urging them to force the rapper to take a DNA test to determine whether or not he is indeed Satterthwaite’s father.
“If Jay Z is innocent, I’m curious why you don’t advise him to take the paternity test rather than create false battles and artificial conflict with an upstanding not-for-profit,” wrote Roberts. “I have been 100% cooperative with you.”
“In turn, you seem determined to create a frivolous legal blizzard of subpoenas in a futile attempt to find some hidden treasure trove of information that we don’t have,” he continued.
Last year, Satterthwaite and his legal guardian Lillie Colley filed a civil suit against Jay Z, claiming that he provided fraudulent information to the court to try and silence the man who claims to be his son.
Satterthwaite and Colley in turn sought damages to be paid by Jay Z.
Now, Roberts alleges that Jay’s legal team has had a hand in some unethical legal maneuvering.
“[The case] appears to involve a politically connected law firm that leverages the legal system as a sword and, through cozy relations with judges and politicians, receives a sweetheart deal that denies the legal rights of others,” Roberts continued.
In conclusion, Roberts brought Jay Z’s wife, the one and only Queen Bey, into the mix.
“Like Beyonce, who stands against police officers who overstep their power, we stand against lawyers who seek an unfair advantage with friendly judges and legally abuse adversaries seeking fairness in the judicial system,” he wrote.
“Only you can know if you fall into that category. If you do think you are in that category, we (of course) would hate to find Jay-Z falling victim to a predatory lawyer using him for his money.”
Eep. Harsh words for Jay and his lawyers.
We can’t help but wonder what Beyonce is thinking.
Earlier this week, rumors surfaced that she announced her plans to divorce the rapper during a drunken episode at friend Kelly Rowland’s birthday party.
