Hey, have you ever wondered if the stars just had to be perfectly aligned for a court case to go the way it spins? Here I was, thinking Mercury retrograde was just about losing my phone charger every five minutes, but according to Soulja Boy’s latest Instagram Live rant on a significant verdict from last week, celestial drama might just be the law of the street too!
Soulja Boy, like many of us, would probably prefer an IRS audit over dealing with lawsuits, but when you’re a public figure, well, the court gavel hits like a hot new track and apparently, the universe had some commentary to make as well. In the wild world of celebrity legal battles and Instagram outbursts, this one’s got it all – the drama, the upset, the appeal to the cosmos for clarity—and of course, a hefty price tag, all amidst claims, counterclaims, and what could possibly be the only astrological twist in this mess that could make even Kathy Griffin say ‘oh honey…’
Soulja Boy erupted on Instagram Live after a jury gave him the Venus square Saturn treatment, ordering him to shell out $4.25 million to a woman who successfully sued him for allegations of sexual assault. Keyword: ALLEGATIONS. But hold your star signs, because this tale has more turns than Scorpio deciding which personality to flex this week. So, strap in, grab your spiritual crystals, and let’s dive into the cosmic courtroom showdown that left everyone wondering: was this written in the stars or just plain human stars behaving badly?
Soulja Boy went off on the woman who successfully sued him with allegations of sexual assault during a recent broadcast on Instagram Live. In doing so, he maintained his innocence in the situation and accused her of trying to “scam” him. “Go tell the police to come lock me up b***h, if I touched your a*s b***h,” Soulja says in the video. “Lying-a*s b***h. Ain’t nobody touched your funky a*s, b***h. Who the f**k want money for being sexually assaulted? Who the f**k want some money for that? B***h go lock the n***a up. That’s how you know this s**t a scam. The system is broken.”
The alleged victim’s attorney, Ronald Zambrano, has since provided XXL with a statement in response to Soulja Boy’s rant. He wrote: “[Soulja Boy] unsurprisingly omits there was a criminal investigation connected with the same conduct. Our client did want him locked up and gave law enforcement the same evidence back in 2021. But it’s not up to her to force the DA to do their job and actually file criminal charges. The DA made the decision and declined to do so. Unfortunately, this is an example of why some share a view that California is soft on crime.”
The woman in question originally filed her lawsuit anonymously back in 2021, citing allegations of sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, emotional distress, and much more. The proceedings finally came to an end, last week, with a court awarding her $4.25 million.
The Instagram Live antics aren’t the first time Soulja Boy has addressed the verdict. After the jury came to its decision, Soulja read a statement off of his phone in the courtroom. “Today, I stand before you deeply disappointed in the verdict delivered in my case,” he said. “I firmly believe that the decision made in court was not based on facts or substantial evidence, but rather on factors were outside of my control. The truth was overshadowed by individuals such as the jury who were not present during the events in question. And I feel that the system allowed external influences to shape the outcome.”
