Jay-Z has recently been named as the father of Philadelphia native Rymir Satterthwaite in a closed civil suit filed in New Jersey, Philly reports.

The suit states that Satterthwaite's mother, Wanda, became acquainted with Jay-Z in 1996 prior to the release of his hit album, "Reasonable Doubt." The two allegedly had an intimate relationship that ultimately resulted in the birth of Rymir.

Rymir's godmother, Lillie Coley, filed this lawsuit after Jay-Z's lawyer allegedly blocked Wanda's 2010 paternity suit that allegedly proved the rapper is the father of Rymir, Philly reports.

The New York Daily News reports that Rymir is currently 21 years old and is aspiring to become a famous rapper like his alleged father, Jay-Z.

In a video clip released on YouTube, Rymir can be seen saying how his desire to rap stems from his bloodline.

"It was in my blood," he says. "I really wanted to pursue my dreams. That's what I've been doing, pursuing my dreams."

As Satterthwaite and his family continue to await the result for the lawsuit, he has created a Fundly page to raise $75,000 for his legal expenses for the paternity suit, wisdom teeth surgery and college tuition. So far, he has raised $285.

"Legal Fees are needed helps with cases that has happen over last 3 years of paternity journey we trying to reverse some things that should have not taken place," reads Satterthwaite's Fundly page. "I need advance dental work of oral surgery for all impacted wisdom teeth. The cases over last three years caused us to get into a financial bind. I want to go to major university that cost a lot. The court cases caused us to have domino effect in finances so we need more funds to add to our portion of tuition and Rymir's mother is partially disable."

So far, Jay Z has yet to publicly comment on the lawsuit.
