“They did DNA tests,” Jerald Andrews, the father of Scott’s ex-boyfriend Malike Sayeed told Star. “It’s been determined that [he's] Jay Z’s baby. Jay Z’s camp vehemently denied the claims.

In 2004, there were rumors that Jay Z had fathered a love child with Free, the popular co-host of BET show 106 & Park. Both sides vehemently denied a hookup.

Earlier this year, rapper LIV told Radar online that Jay Z hit on her in 2008 when he was with Beyonce. Nothing more happened than that, and Jay Z never commented.

When an odd angle made Beyonce’s pregnant belly appear to collapse during an Australian TV interview, it kicked off rumors that the couple was faking the pregnancy and had actually hired a surrogate to carry their daughter. Both later denied it.

In Jay Z’s 2012 song “Glory,” he revealed that Beyonce had suffered a “tragic” miscarriage before giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy.

Norman Oosterbroek, the former bodyguard for Jay Z, Beyonce, and Blue Ivy, was shot dead by police this summer during a drug-fueled naked rampage in Miami.
