[Update] Jay-Z Wins Latest Court Battle As Judge Denies Restraining Order From Alleged Son’s Godmother

Jay-Z scored another victory in his long-running legal battle against Lillie Coley, the godmother of a man who claims to be his biological son. On Friday, a California federal judge denied Coley’s emergency request for a restraining order, which sought to halt a sanctions hearing she described as “retaliatory.”

According to AllHipHop, Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett ruled that Coley failed to meet the legal standard for immediate court action, allowing Jay-Z’s legal team to proceed with efforts to sanction her for what they call “decades-long harassment.”

The case stems from allegations by Rymir Satterthwaite, who has claimed Jay-Z is his father for years. Coley, Satterthwaite’s former guardian, has led the legal push despite multiple dismissals. In 2022, a New Jersey judge barred Coley and Satterthwaite from filing new paternity suits without prior approval.

Jay-Z’s lawyers argue that the filings are ab*sive and unsupported by evidence, while Coley continues to claim he has evaded DNA testing.

What are your thoughts on this longstanding drama?
