Who is Desirat Jay Z? Nicki Minaj Revives Jay-Z Paternity Controversy With New Allegations

Rap superstar Nicki Minaj has sparked new controversy involving Jay-Z and his longtime business partner, Desirée “Desirat” Perez, the CEO of Roc Nation. This comes as an old paternity dispute involving Jay-Z and a man named Raymir Satterthwaite resurfaces on social media.

The drama unfolded earlier this week when Nicki posted several statements online targeting Jay-Z and Desirat, accusing them of hurting the music industry and hiding secrets from the public.

What Did Nicki Minaj Say?

Nicki Minaj shared a now-viral image comparing Jay-Z and 31-year-old Raymir Satterthwaite, a man who has been claiming in court that Jay-Z is his biological father.

Nicki captioned the image: “Oh is this why he was trending the other day? Idk. I hope all is well. To God be the glory.”

The post reignited interest in Raymir’s legal fight, which has been active since 2011. In recent months, reports claim that a judge has allowed the case to move forward, potentially leading to a court-ordered DNA test.

Who Is Raymir Satterthwaite?

Raymir is a 31-year-old man from New Jersey. His mother, Wanda, claims she had a brief relationship with Jay-Z in 1992 when she was 16. She says Raymir was born as a result of that relationship.

Raymir told the Daily Mail: “If he is not [my father], why can’t he prove me wrong? Go to court, do the test. I just want the truth.”

Despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter legally, Jay-Z has not taken a DNA test nor has he responded publicly to the case.

Who Is Desirat (Desirée Perez)?

Nicki Minaj also called out Desirée Perez, referring to her as “Desirat.” Desirat is the CEO of Roc Nation, the company co-founded by Jay-Z. She is known for her influence in the music industry, but also for her criminal history.

In 2020, Perez was granted a presidential pardon by Donald Trump for her past drug trafficking charges. Nicki referenced this in one of her posts:

“Dear #JayZ & Desirat, You ruined hip hop. You ruined football.”

She also claimed Desirat used her position to harm the careers of other Black artists — though she did not provide specific names or evidence.

Nicki Minaj Questions Jay-Z’s Politics

In addition to the paternity case and Roc Nation drama, Nicki took aim at Jay-Z’s political connections. She questioned his loyalty to the Democratic Party and criticized him for not using his influence to help Black communities.

“He’s above speaking out to help his party? Or was it not his party?” she posted on X (formerly Twitter).

What Happens Next?

As of now, Jay-Z has not responded to any of Nicki’s comments. Roc Nation has declined to issue a statement, and Desirée Perez has also remained silent.

Raymir Satterthwaite’s paternity case remains open in court. Legal experts say a DNA test could finally bring clarity, but until then, public interest will likely keep growing — especially with celebrities like Nicki Minaj weighing in.

This latest round of accusations has once again placed Jay-Z and Desirée “Desirat” Perez at the center of controversy. Whether or not the court forces a paternity test, this situation highlights the power of social media, celebrity influence, and long-standing legal battles.

As fans wait for further updates, the story remains one of hip-hop’s most talked-about dramas in 2025.
