Rumors that Jay-Z had  a secret son with a Trinidadian video vixen are resurfacing after the child’s grandfather, who previously said that DNA tests proved that Jay-Z was the dad of the now 9-year-old, recently recanted his claims.

When the story first surfaced in 2007, Jay-Z denied having any connection.

“There is no truth to these ridiculous rumors,” the rapper’s rep said.

The rap mogul is notorious for guarding his private life. He quietly married his megastar wife, Beyonce in 2008 and kept news of her pregnancy under wraps for four months until she unveiled her baby bump during an MTV awards show last month.
