Ever since Beyonce and Jay-Z announced that they are having a baby it seems the
mainstream media has been looking for dirt. It appears they have found it in the
long-circulating rumor in the Black blogosphere that Jay has a child in
Trinidad. Hollywood Street King reported last week that he had
been contacted by a tabloid that wanted information on Jay’s rumored son and
alleged mistress Cathy White, who died recently from a brain aneurysm.
The
tabloid told HSK, “People in the mainstream don’t know about Jay’s dirt like the
Urban community does. That’s why we’re going to expose it.”
Now Star magazine
has published a story, “Jay-Z Has Secret Son”:
Jay-Z is not about to become a father for the first time, it
turns out, as the Girls Girls Girls singer has a secret son with a Trinidadian
model, according to the father of the man originally identified as the love
child’s father, who sat down for an exclusive interview with this week’s edition of Star.
The world gasped last month when the Big Pimpin’
singer’s wife, Beyonce Knowles, showed off her baby bump at the MTV Video Music
Awards, but Andrews exclusively told Star the Empire State Of Mind rapper gave
Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott a baby bump some nine years
before.
Andrews, the father of Shenelle’s ex-boyfriend Malik Sayeed,
told Star exclusively that “at the time [he] was born, my son Malik thought he
was his child, but they did DNA tests.
“It’s been determined that [the
child is] Jay-Z’s baby.”
A source told Star that while Beyonce was
initially livid about the secret son, she’s stood by her husband. The boy
closely resembles the 99 Problems singer, who’s reportedly paying Shenelle child
support.
Malik, whose name was originally listed on the boy’s birth
certificate, came to find out about the child’s real paternity, a source told
Star.
“Malik threw [Shenelle] a baby shower and bought all this stuff
to prepare for the arrival,” the source said. “However, after the baby was born,
friends and family told him he needed to get a DNA test.
“Everyone
knew she was sleeping around and sleeping with Jay,” the source said. “There was
a good chance it was his.”
Andrews filled in Star on the rest of the
details.
“Maybe two weeks later, he called me and said, ‘Daddy, I got
some bad news. [He’s] not my son,’” Andrews told Star. “I said, ‘How do you
know, Malik?’ He said, ‘He doesn’t look anything like me!’”
After
undergoing a DNA test that showed Jay-Z is the father, Malik kicked Shenelle out
of his house, while Jay-Z made arrangements for mother and son to go back to
Trinidad, where they now live comfortably on the rapper’s
dime.
“Shenelle told me that Jay-Z gave her $1 million to keep her
mouth shut,” Jerald tells Star. “My understanding is that he’s paying her child
support.
“Shenelle took the money and bought herself a really nice
house in Trinidad that the whole family lives in now.”
Jerald told
Star that Shenelle has told him her current relationship with the rapper “is
amicable.
“She says he’s a good father and he has a lot of interest in
[the boy],” he told Star. “It was a big old mess at one time, but I think once
they resolved the issue of fatherhood, of paternity, I think things started to
level off.” – Source
According to the person who
contacted HSK they are going after Jay and Beyonce because they are now seen as
“bigger than Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.” Guess it is the old saying
“They build you up to tear you down.”
