50 Cent is shutting down speculation that he is assisting the man claiming to be Jay-Z’s son.

On Wednesday (July 23), Fifty shared an excerpt of a video that claims he is getting involved with the case of 31-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite, a man who claims Jay-Z, 55, is his biological father, an allegation Hov has repeatedly denied.

“Yo I never met this kid and I’m not helping him with anything, keep my name out of this sh!t please,” Fifty wrote in the caption.

The video clip Fifty reposted comes from a YouTube account that claims to offer its subscribers “the truth behind celebrity drama, family secrets, and industry moves you were never meant to see.”

Further into the video, the account alleges Fifty “personally reached out to Rymir and offered up his powerful legal team,” per a supposed source close to the situation.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on July 10, Jay-Z’s attorney described the federal lawsuit brought on by Satterthwaite as “just the latest” move in what he called a “decades-long harassment” campaign.

Satterthwaite alleges that his mother, Wanda, had a brief relationship with Jay-Z in the 1990’s that resulted in his birth. He also claims that the rapper has made "unrelenting efforts... to suppress the truth and silence those who dared to speak it."

In his filings, Satterthwaite accused the rapper of exploiting legal systems to avoid accountability and even alleges that he was shot six times in an incident he described as a “message intended to silence him.”

“The fabricated allegations and claims have been addressed – and rejected — in multiple other courts and [Satterthwaite’s] continued harassment of [Jay-Z] and disregard of those orders has already resulted in a contempt order,” wrote Jay-Z’s attorney, per Us Weekly.

Jay-Z addressed the rumors in his 2018 song “Heard About Us” from his joint album Everything Is Love with Beyoncé as he raps, “Billie Jean in his prime / For the thousandth time, the kid ain’t mine / Online they call me Dad, kiddingly / You’re not supposed to take this Dad thing literally.”
