Jay-Z has filed new legal documents to prevent a $119,000 judgment against Lillie Coley, the godmother of Rymir Satterthwaite, from being discharged due to bankruptcy.According to TMZ, the rapper made the request as part of Coley’s ongoing debt settlement, saying the debt should remain enforceable because it was the result of fraud and abuse rather than a simple financial claim.
Jay-Z says debt should survive the fall
In a court filing obtained by TMZ, Jay-Z argues that the $119,000 awarded on his behalf should not be forfeited because the court found that it was related to Coley’s “fraudulent statements and lies designed to harass and target him”.His legal team also said Coley has spent the past decade pursuing what it describes as a campaign of harassment through repeated lawsuits and public allegations.According to the filing, Jay-Z has faced “numerous lawsuits, online harassment campaigns and public claims” from Coley over the years.

The latest document ties into the long-running controversy of Rymir Satterthwaite, who has claimed for years that Jay-Z is his biological father.Rymir says his late mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, had a relationship with the rapper that led to his birth. Jay-Z has been denying the allegations and has contested the claims in court.According to the filing, any charges against Coley have been dismissed. Jay-Z also said he has spent thousands of dollars defending himself against repeated lawsuits.
