There is a rumor that has been circulating around gossip sites for some times, and with the birth of his baby, it's back. I stumbled on it unexpectedly, but had never heard about it.
Star magazine was all over the story a few months ago,…. Jay-Z may have fathered a secret son with a Trinidadian model, Shenelle Scott, nine years ago.
I have no idea if this is true or just a hoax, but you have to admit that the pictures are kind of convincing…. Of course it doesn’t mean anything.
Who knows? Some gossips are true, some are untrue… According to news.lalate.com, the story had already surfaced in 2007, had made the cover of Hip Hop weekly, then hit the British tabloids 2 years later. In 2009, Jay-Z called it ‘ridiculous rumors’ of course, but it is the kind of story that doesn’t want to die, especially now.
The difference is that this time a direct source talked to Star magazine a few months ago. According to Radar online, the father of Malik Sayeed (Shenelle’s ex-boyfriend) thought that his son was the father of the child, but DNA tests were made, and have determined that it was in fact Jay-Z. Shenelle received $1 million to keep her mouth shut, and Jay-Z is paying for child support. The magazine even pretends that Beyonce is aware of the situation.
A week later, the same guy told the NY Daily he had no knowledgeof a DNA test and had never spoken to Shenelle about this. But if they were paid a lot of money to shut up, a retraction was expected….
Anyway, this is the problem with people who live at this level of celebrity and wealth, they can buy anything and we never know the truth.
