Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z has vehemently denied he is the father of a Trinidadian model’s five-year-old son. Recent internet reports suggest the rapper conceived a child with Shenelle Scott, 26, in 2001 – three years after meeting on the set of his video Big Pimpin’. Rumors claimed Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, paid Scott $1 million on condition his name was not on the baby’s birth certificate. The tot was born on January 30, 2002 in Los Angeles.

However, the star’s spokesperson tells AllHipHop.com, “There is no truth to these ridiculous rumors. “People should be ashamed of using this kind of story and exploiting a child for publicity and ratings.”

Haha, riiiiight! That’s what he is SUPPOSED to say… That damn child is his, and he, and everyone else knows it! Own up to it, pay your lil child support, and keep it movin…. Lol and is it just me or does that lil nigga jigga look pissed the hell off?!
