With rumors continuing to run rampant regarding the alleged love child of Jay-z and video vixen Shenelle Scott, glossy hip-hop tabloid Hip-Hop Weekly (HHW) revealed to BallerStatus.com that they will unveil in an upcoming issue that the Def Jam President is indeed the father of Scott's son, Isa Jael.

Earlier last month, the weekly publication ran an exclusive interview with Shenelle Scott in which she admitted to knowing Jay-z and being featured in the "Big Pimpin'" video filmed in her native country Trinidad. During the interview, Scott also admitted to an intimate affair with Jay-z that ran its course some time in 2001. According to model, the relationship was not very deep and only lasted about a year (see "Rumored Mother Of Jay-z's Secret Son Speaks Out ").

As rumors began to circulate about the authenticity of the young boy's DNA, Jay-z issued a statement through his spokesperson, 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."

Contrary to the Jay's claims, a source at Hip-Hop Weekly says they are ready to expose his lies and deceit to his fans.

HHW are planning to not only publish their version of the truth, in regards to young Isa's paternity, but that Jay-z's beloved girlfriend, multi-platinum pop singer Beyonce, is aware of the young lad, and that the rapper is current on the agreed upon monthly child support of $4,000.

In related news, Jay-z has lent his vocals to the smash single, "Rehab," by British bad-girl Amy Winehouse and is looking to further his relationship with the British singer.

Beyonce's label home, Columbia Records, has yet to give a re-release date for the re-release of B'Day Deluxe Anthology since pulling the CD from the shelves, due to the unauthorized release of a re-recorded version of the song, "Still In Love (Kissing You)," originally recorded by Des'ree.

Des'ree is seeking $150,000 in damages in a suit against the singer and her label. A preliminary injunction hearing has been set for May 4.

i think that Isa is Shawn Carter son and that he is just being in denial because he does not want to hurt his newlywed B. but i think we all know that she is understanding and humble as her family and Husband says or at lest she should be. Jay if u get this u need to step up to the plate and be a man about the whole thing u are a "business man", as we as ur fans think of u so just get a DNA and knock that thing of ur shoulders. shorty just want a father figure in is life can u blame him all u have to do is ask urself wheres ur dad or many other Black young men who dont have a dad in their life and look how they end up u take a min. and think about, oh i forgot times up!

I don't think it's his kid. Even if it was, his reasons for keepin it a secret would be for the childs safety..hello he's a multi-millionaire! He wanted a baby from that girl at the time but sadly I don't think he can have kids.Oh yeah and Beyonce don't run the show. Jay is always gonna be the ring leader.

Jay-z wants kids, so I doubt he would deny his own. Is it that hard to believe that a black Man would be responsible enough not to have an unwanted kid... Beyonce hasn't popped up pregnant and they have been dating for seven years. This chick is a video hoe... You would think he has sense..I mean he use a condom w/superhead did he not?

I'm sure Jay does have 1 or 2 kids out there & this one may be his. I hope he doesn't end up eating his words if this child turns out to be his. Shanelle is not too bright to take a mil to not but Jay one the birth cert. It would've taken more than that in my eyes. If B knew all along about this child & didn't encourage J to see his child, she's just as trifflin' as he is. Any woman who would force her man not to see his child is not the kinda woman u have kids w/. It wouldn't surprise me if that were true. She seems like she wouldn't be willing to share J w/ a child that wasn't hers. To the ppl who can't believe J may have a child or 2. Come on, get real! It's rare that blk men make it past 25yrs old w/o having at least one unwanted baby. It is what it is! Face it! If that boy isn't his, don't be surprised if another kid pops up!

THAT BOY GONE GROW UP AND MAY FIND OUT JAY-Z IS HIS FATHER AND THAT ONE DAY IN THE PAST HE GONE KNOW THAT HIS FATHER DIDN'T WANT HIM. NOW THAT IS SAD AND TRI-FO-LEN. AND HE SHOULD BE SHAMED!!!

I think it is sad that Jay Z's fans are disappointed in him because I have known Shenelle for a good while now and in fact this whole story does not surprise me. It is somewhat fishy that she says her son is Jay Z's because everyone from where she is from was told by Shenelle that her son's father is Stern John. Shenelle; please make up your mind.

how and the fuck does anyone know that this is his child everybody talkin about they mad at him come on get a life stop dis-liking him cause he got it going ON! yall don't know. If he knew he had kids I'm sure we woukd all know because he smooth like that. Jay is not stupid he's a very smart man and knows what the fuck he wants. That's why him and B holding it down with no problems and when they do i'm sure they discuss it like two adults he know what he's doing don't hate.

I'm a fan of Jay-Z and he's a great man from what I see. He has acomplish a lot since he's been in the game. And honestly Jay-Z, I thought you was realer than that shit bro. But you know what, fuck it, "Who Are We To Judge". I'm sure enough you had your reason for all this bullshit and no matter what, I still have MAJOR love for you and behind you 100%.God Bless...

J-Z having a son is nothing to hide. Let's focus on global warming, something that could put an end to everything, including the J-Z concerns....

Jay's situation is one that has been going on since the begining of time. I was hoping it was not true, but who are we to judge. I live in Houston TX and I have been a Jay Z fan since 1996 when I bought the original Reasonable Doubt CD( his best thus far), and I also am a Beyonce fan, I did an internship at Music World and I think they are both great people. I don't think Ms. Scott is at fault either. She had to carry this child for 9 months as well as keep it a secret which is wrong, so she and her child deserve much more than 4,000.00 a month and a closed mouth.

who cares? there are issues larger than some guy with $ being able to take care of a kid. this is amerikkka people, if he's the pops amerikkka will make sure he pays. now back to the hood....folks still don't have jobs or healthcare

PhilWil Says:

If and when Jay-Z clears this up, that is when this will become a real story. Right now its all about "I got proof". I'll admit that out of all the rappers who have been doing their thing for over 10 years, I was surprised that jay-Z never had a kid while almost ALL of the other rappers had at least 1.

If Isa is Jay's son I don't see why he's hiding him. He's gotta have his reasons, other than all the stupidity that has been circulating. Now, this Shenelle character, she didn't say he was the father, but she didn't deny it either. Who does that? But in my opinion, that boy is Jay from the nose down. That little dip above his lip... Lil' Hov.

wow Says:
Wednesday - May 2, 2007 at 9:31pm

I have read statements from people stating Beyonce knew about Isa and didn't want Jay to have anything to do with him. She just wanted him to financially care for him but no contact..wtf I hope this isn't true but all the other rumors seem to be true

Ladylike Says:
Wednesday - May 2, 2007 at 10:06am

Come on people, we already knew this, no way Jay is walking around here at his age with NO children. Sorry I would not have confirmed this either, his son deserves a normal life.
