Swae Lee Settles Paternity Dispute

Swae Lee has reached a confidential settlement with Marla Naranjo, a Florida woman who filed a paternity claim against the Rae Sremmurd rapper in 2023. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the musician informed a Florida judge that a private agreement had been reached, effectively ending the legal dispute.

The legal battle began when Naranjo filed court documents seeking to establish Swae Lee as the biological father of her son, Karter Naranjo, who is now three years old. While the settlement resolves the dispute, Swae Lee did not confirm or deny the allegations regarding his paternity in the court documents.

The specific terms of the settlement agreement have not been publicly disclosed, leaving the final arrangements regarding the child’s support and custody shielded from public view.

Details of the Paternity Claim

In her original filing, Marla Naranjo accused the rapper of failing to be involved in Karter’s upbringing. She argued that Swae Lee’s professional travel commitments made him unable to provide a stable environment for raising a child.

Naranjo’s legal complaint also alleged that the artist had a history of misconduct. Based on these claims, she sought primary custody of the three-year-old son and unspecified monthly child support payments.

Swae Lee’s Parental Background

While the paternity of Karter Naranjo remains unconfirmed by the artist, Swae Lee has two other confirmed children with different women.

• He welcomed a daughter with model Aline Martins in 2020, and the two maintain joint custody of the child.
• He welcomed a son with Victoria Kristine in 2022, though the current status of his relationship with Kristine is unclear.

Career Momentum and Recent Performances

The resolution of this legal matter coincides with a period of professional activity for the rapper, including the release of his solo studio album, Same Difference.

Swae Lee also recently performed a solo show at Coachella. The performance earned praise on social media from rapper Meek Mill, who stated that Swae Lee does not receive enough credit for his work.

Responding to the support from Meek Mill, Swae Lee posted a declaration online, stating, My dots are connecting for me to be the next Michael Jackson twin, and adding that Meek the realest.
