The rapper, real name DeAndre Cortez Way, went on a fiery Instagram Live session following last week’s court ruling that awarded his accuser $4.25 million in damages. In his livestream, Soulja Boy furiously denied the allegations and accused the woman of targeting him for money.
“Go tell the police to come lock me up bh, if I touched your as,” he said. “Lying-a bh. Ain’t nobody touched your funky a, bh. Who the fk want money for being sexually assaulted? … That’s how you know this s**t a scam. The system is broken.”
The woman, who filed her lawsuit anonymously in 2021, accused the rapper of sexual battery, false imprisonment, assault, and emotional distress. Though no criminal charges were filed, a California jury ruled in her favor in the civil case.
Accuser’s Lawyer: “She Tried to Pursue Criminal Charges”
In response to Soulja Boy’s outburst, her attorney Ronald Zambrano issued a statement via XXL, pushing back on his narrative and clarifying the legal history of the case.
“Our client did want him locked up and gave law enforcement the same evidence back in 2021,” Zambrano explained. “But it’s not up to her to force the DA to do their job and actually file criminal charges.”
He added:
“This is an example of why some share a view that California is soft on crime.”
Zambrano also stressed that there was a criminal investigation, contradicting Soulja Boy’s claim that the accusations were just a scam for money.
Soulja Boy: “Deeply Disappointed in the Verdict”
Following the jury’s decision, Soulja Boy released a formal statement in court expressing his dissatisfaction with the outcome.
“Today, I stand before you deeply disappointed in the verdict delivered in my case,” he stated.
A Legal and Public Battle
While Soulja Boy has consistently denied the allegations, this latest outburst adds fuel to a controversial and emotionally charged case that continues to divide public opinion. The verdict sends a strong message from the jury, even in the absence of criminal charges — but Soulja Boy remains defiant, and this may not be the last time the case makes headlines.
