Jay-Z wants Lillie Coley to pay her debt after multiple failed paternity lawsuits
On July 24, 2026, Jay-Z filed a legal motion in the bankruptcy case of Lillie Coley. The rapper demands she pay the massive sum of $119,000 in legal fees. This debt follows a decade of failed paternity lawsuits launched by Coley and her godson.
Sources confirm Jay-Z wants the court to hold Lillie Coley accountable for her financial debts. The rapper seeks $119,000 in legal fees after years of dismissed paternity lawsuits.
Coley acts as the godmother to Rymir Satterthwaite. Satterthwaite claims the rap star is his biological father. His legal team recently entered the bankruptcy proceedings of Coley to secure their money.
”numerous unfounded court filings, online harassment campaigns and public statements,” his lawyers stated.
Decades of legal battles
Satterthwaite insists his late mother Wanda had a brief relationship with Jay-Z. He claims this encounter led to his birth.
The young man and his godmother spent years filing civil lawsuits against the star. Judges dismissed these cases multiple times for lacking merit. A judge eventually ordered Coley to cover the massive legal bills.
