Do you really think Jay-Z is your father? Honestly, I do. And if he’s not, why hasn’t he proven it? This isn’t about trying to “prove me wrong.” It’s about doing what anyone else in this situation would do—go to court, take a test, and uncover the truth. I can handle hearing “no.” I can deal with the embarrassment if I’m wrong. What I can’t deal with is silence. That’s just not fair.
For years, Ramir S.T. Weight has claimed that Jay-Z is his biological father. Recently, he’s taken things a step further by pleading with Beyoncé to convince her husband to take a paternity test. But let’s be real—that seems like a long shot.
Rumors are even swirling that Beyoncé has allegedly told Jay-Z not to take the test. According to Ramir, someone in her camp supposedly said something along the lines of, “Ramir needs to go away. Go away, little boy.” He also claims someone showed up at his property one evening, asking about getting in through the back door.
Despite everything, Ramir isn’t backing down. His story starts in 1992, when his mother, Wanda, says she had a fling with Jay-Z at his aunt’s apartment in Brooklyn after meeting him in Philadelphia. She claims they used protection, but it didn’t work. Jay-Z visited her once more two weeks later, but after that, he disappeared.
When Ramir was eight, Wanda told him the man raising him wasn’t his real father. She said she believed Jay-Z was. At the time, Ramir didn’t think much of it—he was just a kid focused on his little brother and the man he knew as his dad. But Wanda kept bringing it up, even as Ramir got older.
“She told me, ‘Sean Carter is your father.’ I didn’t really understand what that meant because I was too young to care,” Ramir said. “But she kept saying it over the years, and by the time I was grown, it stuck.”
Back in the day, Wanda tried to make Jay-Z take responsibility. She filed a civil lawsuit for child support, but it was dismissed because it was filed in the wrong state. She never refiled, and Jay-Z’s lawyers said he had no obligation to the case.
Now, all Ramir wants is an answer. After everything he’s been through, will this finally be the moment Jay-Z gives him the truth?
Since then, Ramir has been fighting a long battle to get Jay-Z to take a paternity test, but Jay-Z has repeatedly refused.
According to Ramir’s side, the reason Jay-Z won’t agree to the test is tied to more than just avoiding the question of paternity. They claim that admitting Ramir is his son would also mean acknowledging that Wanda, Ramir’s mother, was only 16 years old when she got pregnant. If that’s true, it would mean Jay-Z was involved with a minor at the time, which could have serious implications.
Even Wanda’s godmother has spoken out about this, sharing what happened when she first tried to settle the issue privately. She said:
“I got a call from one of Jay-Z’s in-house lawyers, and at first, they were really cooperative. They talked about Ramir’s music talent and even floated the idea of signing him to Jay-Z’s record label after he finished high school. But I said no.
“Then, out of nowhere, different lawyers stepped in, and their whole attitude changed. That’s when I realized they knew Wanda’s age back then could cause problems for Jay-Z.”
This is where things get even messier. If a paternity test proves Jay-Z is Ramir’s father, it would bring up a lot of uncomfortable questions about what happened back then. And with other allegations swirling around Jay-Z, this situation could add even more fuel to the fire.
But Ramir has made it clear he’s not giving up. Over the years, he and his godmother, Dr. Lily Ki, have done interviews where they’ve stuck to the same story: Jay-Z is Ramir’s biological father. They’ve also talked about how hard it’s been to fight this battle, claiming Jay-Z has used his money and power to avoid taking a paternity test.
Ramir has gone through the courts in multiple states, accusing the legal system of being corrupt and rigged against him. He’s even claimed that his own lawyers worked with Jay-Z’s legal team to block him from getting justice. At one point, he tried to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court, hoping they’d force Jay-Z to take a DNA test. But the Supreme Court rejected the case, saying it didn’t have jurisdiction. He then refiled in a New Jersey appellate court, but once again, nothing came of it.
In an interview, Ramir and Dr. Lily also brought up some disturbing details. They claimed Jay-Z transported Wanda across state lines to New York when she was just 16 and that his lawyers lied in court, only later saying they had “misspoken.” They even said Jay-Z tried to settle this matter privately years ago, but he continues to deny everything publicly.
Ramir also alleged that someone tried to intimidate him after he filed a civil suit—saying shots were fired at him. Dr. Lily suggested Beyoncé might be involved, saying she likely influenced Jay-Z’s decision not to acknowledge Ramir or settle the case.
On top of that, they accused Jay-Z and Beyoncé of mocking Ramir in their music. And with recent allegations against Jay-Z involving other misconduct, Ramir has hinted at teaming up with attorney Tony Busby, who’s been representing other victims, to address legal matters surrounding his mother and Jay-Z.
For now, Ramir is still fighting. He’s said in multiple interviews that he won’t stop until the truth comes out, no matter how long it takes.
Ramir recently spoke out in an interview, expressing his frustration and heartbreak over Jay-Z’s response to the ongoing allegations. He said, “It’s both heartbreaking and frustrating to see Mr. Carter respond to these allegations with such deflection and attacks. My late mother, Wanda, was just 16 when she had me, and for years, I’ve been searching for clarity about my identity. This isn’t about money or spectacle; it’s about the truth and holding everyone accountable.”
Ramir didn’t hold back in criticizing Jay-Z’s statement that he mourned the loss of innocence, especially when it came to his family and children. According to Ramir, Jay-Z’s words about valuing honor and protecting his children were hollow. “Despite all my efforts, Mr. Carter has never sent me a single letter to deny or acknowledge paternity or to address the fraud his lawyers committed,” Ramir said. “If he truly cares about honor and protecting children like he claims, he should be open and transparent, but instead, he continues to deflect and avoid.”
Ramir is determined to uncover the truth—not just for himself but also for his mother and others who deserve answers. He shared a statement from his godmother, Dr. Lily Coy, who expressed her deep disappointment with the legal system, accusing it of corruption and unethical behavior that’s violated their rights.
Dr. Coy described Jay-Z’s statement as “deeply unsettling” and shared her concerns about his legal team’s misconduct. She recounted her experience dealing with fraud allegations involving Jay-Z’s team and revealed how personal these battles have been. “As Ramir’s former legal guardian, I’ve witnessed the years of fraud and misconduct tied to Mr. Carter’s team,” Lily wrote. “This isn’t just about legal issues—it’s taken a personal toll. In 2023, I discovered liens placed on my property, which I believe are tied to this case.” Lily also made sure to honor the memory of Wanda, Ramir’s mother, who she described as a woman who endured great suffering. “Her story deserves to be told, and her name must not be forgotten. We should all say her name: Wanda Satterthwaite.”
Ramir remains resolute, insisting that if Jay-Z truly has nothing to hide, he should take the paternity test. “I don’t want any money or anything. I just want the truth,” he said. “If I can’t get the truth in court, then what’s left? This is affecting my life, and I just want it to be over.”
Even with the backlash against his claims, Ramir holds no ill will toward Jay-Z. “I would never hate Jay-Z. I respect what he’s done. But this has been a long battle, not just for me, but for my mom and my godmother. We’ve faced slander and accusations that I’m after Jay-Z’s money, but it’s not about money—it’s about the truth.”
Ramir promised to keep fighting for answers. “I’ll keep fighting until I’m no longer here. If it takes another 10 years, 50 years—whatever it takes, I’m going to fight until the end.”
Some who know Ramir personally believe he could be Jay-Z’s son. This has led to speculation that Beyoncé may be influencing Jay-Z not to take the test. At this point, it’s unclear whether Jay-Z will ever agree to it.
