Meet 21-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite... who claims to be Jay Z's love child from an affair the rapper had before he married Beyoncé.

Beyoncé's husband Jay Z has been hit with a claim that he has a secret love child.

According to a report in The National Enquirer, Jay - real name Shawn Corey Carter - is currently being sued by 21-year-old Rymir Satterthwait, who claims to be his son.

Court documents uncovered in the report show that the 45-year-old rapper was sued by Satterthwait (via his legal guardian) in 2014.

The National Enquirer also reports that Carter is accused of lying to the court to avoid taking a paternity test.

In 2011, the rapper denied reports that he had fathered a different child with a model named Shenelle Scott.

Carter - who has one child Blue Ivy with wife Beyoncé - was linked to the Trinidad model by a man who had been wrongly identified as the father of the child.

But representatives for the rapper said there was 'no truth to these ridiculous rumours' at the time.
