Soulja Boy unleashed some harsh words about the woman who accused him of sexual assault and drew parallels between himself and other prominent Black celebrities who’ve faced abuse allegations.
On Thursday, a California judge ordered the “Crank Dat” rapper to pay $4.25 million to his former personal assistant, who claimed she was assaulted in 2021. On top of that, Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, must pay an additional $250,000 in punitive damages.
After claiming in his post-court statement that the “truth was overshadowed” during the trial, Soulja shared more thoughts during an Instagram Live session.
“That shit a scam, n***a,” he said in the clip below. “If y’all think that shit is funny they over there scamming Black celebrities, n***a, cool. Fuck y’all, too.”
The rapper denied ever doing “weird shit” and placed blame on the “Illuminati and “industry n***as” who are supposedly targeting him.
“If I really sexually assaulted a bitch, why I ain’t in jail then?” Soulja continued. “The fuck you mean? How you gonna ask for some money, n***a? Go to the police to come lock me up, bitch.”
“That’s how you know this shit a scam, the fucking system is broken,” he declared. “And the shit’s set up for Black n***as to fail! It was 11 white folks that was all 70 years old, bruh. …I did not stand a chance!”
After insisting the jury had “no proof,” Soulja proclaimed, “They ain’t gon’ never stop me” and compared his situation to other high-profile Black men accused of sexual assault.
“They did it to Michael Jackson. They did it P. Diddy. They did it to R. Kelly. They did to Bill Cosby,” he said. “They did it to all the Black n***as. They did it to all everybody, goddammit!
“When a motherfucker lie on you, there ain’t shit you can do,” Soulja claimed.
Soulja called the trial a “scam” before reiterating his plans to file an appeal. The 34-year-old also made a reference to Kendrick Lamar performing “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl.
“If a n***a can stand at the Super Bowl and call a n***a [Drake] a pedophile in front of the whole world, I’m pretty sure I’m straight, bruh,” he said.
The accuser, identified as Jane Doe, alleged that Soulja physically assaulted and raped her multiple times, and held her captive in a room for three days.
