After rumors surfaced about a Trinidadian model, Shanelle Scott, who gave birth to a baby boy fathered by Jay-Z after they met on the set of the Big Pimpin video…” Jay-Z’s publicity reps went into spin mode, releasing a vaguely worded statement denying that Jay-Z had paid Scott a million dollars to keep his name off the birth certificate of her son Isa-Jael, who is 5 years old and lives in Trinidad. What they didn’t deny, however, was that Jay-Z was the boy’s father. The reason for that, according to a source close to the situation, is that it is true: “Jay-Z is definitely the father of Isa-Jael,” our source says. Jay wasn’t sure at first, so he reportedly had a paternity test, and following the results, which he allegedly kept secret from Scott, he is rumored to have bought her and her son a house in Trinidad worth a whopping $2.5 million.”

now I know there are heated emotions on both sides of this story….some believe, some dont. I personally believe its true. And maybe it has to do with the fact that I met this little boy and his mom a few years back. But I could have been lied to, who knows, its not like I took a blood sample of the cute lil tike. But on the other hand, I dont put these artists on a pedestal so I dont assume they’re perfect (and by the way, to whoever is acting like this is something to hide if its true….having a baby isnt a PR-nightmare, its a blessing, out of wedlock or not).

Big up to SandraRoseblog for being fearless on this topic. I cant give props to the other publication reporting on this for other reasons…..I’ve seen some speculation that Jay-Z will address this controversy sometime soon. Hey, why not? Thats been my thing the whole time….if its your boy, congrats! You’re still 6-7 kids behind every member of wu-tang. If its not, then just say so and everyone will move on. Nobody is talking about Anna Nicole anymore, right?
