Hip Hop Weekly and BallerStatus is reporting that Jay-Z, the Jigga Man, is indeed the father of Isa Jael, the son of Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott. Jay-Z has aggressively denied the rumours in the past, however recently his publicity representatives are not denying that he is the father.
Shenelle Scott admitted to knowing Jay-Z, and also appearing in his smash hit video for "Big Pimpin" which was filmed on location in Trinidad, for Carnival. Shenelle also admitted to an affair with Jay-Z for just over one year.This story all began when Hip Hop Weekly published an exclusive story declaring 5 year old Isa Jael, the son of Shenelle Scott, was fathered by Jay-Z. Later an anonymous representative for Jay-Z, denied such rumours, in addition to having paid one million US dollars to silence Scott, and also to keep Jigga Man off of the child's birth certificate. The father's name on the birth certificate lists Malik Sayeed.
As the rumours piled up, Jay-Z issued another statement stating "there is no truth to these ridiculous rumors," and went on to say, "people should be ashamed of using this kind of story and exploiting a child for publicity and ratings."
According to Hip Hop Weekly, Beyonce also knows about the child, and is also aware of financial payments in the sum of US$4,000 per month being paid for support of the 5 year old. Hip Hop Weekly on it's front page today is also claiming that Jay-Z also purchased a house in Trinidad for a whopping US$2.5 million dollars.
