Soulja Boy Begins Trial on Sexual Assault Allegations

Soulja Boy has begun a civil trial on sexual assault allegations in California

Soulja Boy, the Grammy-nominated rapper, appeared in a California courtroom Thursday for the first day of his civil trial involving allegations he beat and raped a woman while she was working as his personal assistant for nearly two years, ending in late 2020. Doe, who filed her lawsuit in January 2021, is suing Way with claims he subjected her to sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, emotional distress, unpaid overtime, and a hostile work environment. In a separate lawsuit, Myers claimed she had an on-again, off-again romantic relationship with Way that ended when the rapper allegedly held a gun to her head, threatened her life, and assaulted her at his home on Feb. 1, 2019.
