Details Surrounding Soulja Boy’s Legal Case
Despite Soulja Boy being ordered to pay $4 million in damages, the judge did show some leniency. Reports indicate that the judge dismissed certain claims from his ex-assistant regarding false imprisonment and a hostile work environment. The allegations first came to light when Doe filed a lawsuit against Soulja Boy in January 2021, accusing him of heinous acts including rape and kidnapping during her tenure as his personal assistant.
According to Variety, she began her employment with him in 2018, and shortly after she began working for him, he made advances towards her through direct messages. Their relationship eventually turned romantic, but she mentioned that it quickly escalated into violence.
During the court proceedings on April 10, Soulja Boy firmly denied all accusations against him. He argued that he never abused his ex-assistant and claimed that she was not on his official payroll. Soulja stated that she was staying with him and helping him out occasionally, but he never formally hired her. He characterized their tumultuous relationship as consensual, even though he acknowledged that things occasionally spiraled out of control.
