In 2021, a woman who goes by the name Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against rapper Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way. Jane Doe claimed that Soulja Boy had assaulted her while she was pregnant in 2015, resulting in a miscarriage. She also alleged that he had been physically violent towards her in the past, causing her to undergo a medical procedure to remove her uterine lining.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline, Soulja Boy recently asked for more time to respond to the lawsuit as he was not aware that the court had issued sanctions against him for not showing up for a deposition. He explained that he had been busy with shows on the road and had not known about the lawsuit being filed against him.
PageSix reported that the couple had been on and off since 2007, but Jane Doe had left Soulja Boy in 2019. In her lawsuit, she accused him of assault, sexual battery, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. She was seeking $10 million in damages, $5 million for pain and suffering, and another $5 million for emotional distress.
Jane Doe claimed that the alleged assault had taken place at the home they shared at the time. She stated that Soulja Boy had become violent during a simple conversation, punching her in the face and chest until she couldn't stand. She also alleged that he had kicked her all over and struck her stomach, resulting in her miscarriage.
The court had initially thrown out Soulja Boy's answer to the lawsuit as he failed to appear for his deposition. However, the judge gave him some time to show up in court before allowing Jane Doe to seek a default judgment against him. She also mentioned that she hadn't heard from Soulja Boy since his lawyer dropped out of the case the previous year.
In a recent motion filed by Soulja Boy's new attorney, he claimed that he had only found out about the latest developments through the news. He explained that he had been without a lawyer for a year and had been touring both in the United States and internationally. He had only hired his new attorney last month and argued that he had not been properly served with notice of the court hearings.
The judge has not yet ruled on Soulja Boy's plea to continue fighting the case. In addition to this lawsuit, he was also ordered to pay over $230,000 to his former girlfriend, Kayla Meyer, for an incident that occurred nearly four years ago. It remains to be seen how the court will handle Soulja Boy's request for more time to respond to Jane Doe's allegations.
