"Jay-Z has denied fathering a child with model Shenelle Scott. The rapper and wife Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9, who married in 2008, are currently expecting their first child together. However, Jay-Z was linked to the Trinidad model by the father of a man who was believed to have been wrongly identified as the 9-year-old boy&amp;#039;s father. Jerald Andrews told Star magazine that a DNA test had shown that his son Malik Sayeed is not the child&amp;#039;s dad and that Jay-Z is the father. However, representatives for Jay-Z told Allhiphop.com: &amp;quot;There is no truth to these ridiculous rumours. People should be ashamed of using this kind of story and exploiting a child for publicity and ratings.&amp;quot;   Meanwhile, Andrews - who suggested that Scott had been paid to &amp;quot;keep her mouth shut&amp;quot; - retracted his claim that a DNA test had identified Jay-Z as the father. &amp;quot;I know Shenelle, but I&amp;#039;ve never spoken to her or my son about this. They&amp;#039;re very private people,&amp;quot; he told the Daily News. &amp;quot;The stuff about the DNA test was on the internet. It&amp;#039;s all from an old article on the internet. I don&amp;#039;t know if it&amp;#039;s true.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Jay-Z &amp;quot;ecstatic&amp;quot; over Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 pregnancy, says friend &amp;gt; Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 wore prosthetic baby bump at MTV VMAs, report claims Watch the music video for Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;1+1&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
