A man claiming to be Jay-Z's son, Rymir Satterthwaite, is dropping his federal lawsuit against the rapper

He also addressed his decision to withdraw in a video on social media, insisting he has not "stopped my fight".

Satterthwaite said: "It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I have not stopped my fight."

The man, who has not had a DNA test, confirmed: "I did withdraw my case.

"It's a lot going on.

"We got to step back and play chess, not checkers."

The Roc Nation founder was granted a restraining order against Satterthwaite in 2022, for making so many "frivolous" claims to the court.

Jay-Z's legal team also asked for the case to be dismissed on July 18.

The Encore rapper - who has Blue Ivy, 13, and eight-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with wife Beyoncé - accused the man who claims to be his son of "harassment".

The 55-year-old star hit out at the "fabricated allegations" and asked a federal judge to intervene in the case.

Jay-Z described the recent lawsuit filed by Satterthwaite as "just the latest" episode of "decades-long harassment" from the man and his godmother.

Documents stated: "The fabricated allegations and claims have been addressed - and rejected - in multiple other courts, and continued harassment and disregard of those orders has already resulted in a contempt order."

Satterthwaite, 32, filed a federal lawsuit against the music mogul - whose real name is Shawn Carter - in May and accused the star of trying to keep him quiet about his paternity.

The man claims that his mother Wanda had relations with Jay-Z during the 1990s.

After she passed away, Sattherthwaite was cared for by his godmother and says that the pair have faced "unrelenting efforts by (Jay-Z) and his enablers to suppress the truth and silence those who dared to speak it."

He accused Jay-Z of refusing to take a paternity test not answering his claims directly.

Sattherthwaite is adamant that he isn't pursuing fame and fortune with his legal case and just wants to discover the truth about his paternity.

He told the Daily Mail last year: "Why can't he prove me wrong?

"Go the courtroom and do what everyone else has to do. I can take a no. I can take being embarrassed. I just can't take him not saying anything. It is not fair."
