Rapper Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) may be deprived of his hair dye if he is jailed in the near future. Inmates are allowed to use hair products such as shampoos, but they can not use hair dye.
At age 55, Jay-Z‘s hair is almost completely grey. He reportedly uses Bigen hair dye to darken his roots.
Jay-Z is desperate to avoid jail time if a judge orders him to take a DNA test to prove the paternity of a 31-year-old man.
Rymir Satterthwaite believes he might be Jay-Z’s illegitimate son and that his mom was underage when she gave birth to him. Rymir says his mom was only 16 when she slept with Jay-Z. The age of consent is 17 in New York.
Legal experts say Judge Analisa Torres might order the rap mogul to take the DNA test if it will prove that he fathered a child with a minor when he was in his 20s.
Earlier this month an Alabama woman filed an amended lawsuit naming Jay-Z as her attacker alongside Sean Combs, who is in a Brooklyn jail awaiting trial.
On Thursday, the judge allowed accuser Jane Doe to proceed anonymously with her lawsuit. The judge rebuked Jay-Zs lawyer, Alex Spiro, for filing “combative motions” to get the case dismissed.
“Carter’s lawyer’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,” the order read. “The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it.”
The order continued: “Since Carter’s attorney first appeared in this case seventeen days ago, he has submitted a litany of letters and motions attempting to impugn the character of Plaintiff’s lawyer, many of them expounding on the purported ‘urgency’ of this case.”
“Although Carter’s attorney assails Plaintiff’s lawyer as having a ‘chronic inability to follow the rules,’ the order continued, “Carter’s counsel has failed to abide by this Court’s clear rules.
The judge’s order means Jay-Z must prepare to go to trial or settle with his accuser out of court.
Jane Doe is represented by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee.
Buzbee told CNN via email on Thursday, “The coordinated and desperate efforts to attack me as counsel for alleged victims are falling flat.”
