He looked as proud as punch when his missus Beyoncé announced she was pregnant at the MTV VMAs – but Jay-Z may not be totally new to fatherhood after all…

The rapper is facing sensational new claims that he has a secret nine-year-old son with Trinidad model Shenelle Scott.

In an exclusive chat with Star Magazine, Jerard Andrews, the father of the man originally identified as the love child's father, said,

“At the time [he] was born, my son Malik [Sayeed] thought he was his child, but they did DNA tests…It’s been determined that [the child is] Jay-Z’s baby.”

According to the magazine, the hip hop legend has since helped Shenelle set up home in Trinidad to raise the child.

“Shenelle told me that Jay-Z gave her $1 million to keep her mouth shut,”added Jerard. “My understanding is that he’s paying her child support.”

He also claims that Jay’s superstar wife, who he’s been dating for almost ten years, is well aware of her hubby’s alleged first born.

"[Shenelle] says he’s a good father and he has a lot of interest in [the boy].

“It was a big old mess at one time, but I think once they resolved the issue of fatherhood, of paternity, I think things started to level off.”
