Soulja Boy’s former assistant is suing the rapper with allegations of rape, assault, and kidnapping in a lawsuit initially filed in California in 2021. The rapper, legal name Deandre Cortez Way, headed into court this week in Los Angeles for the trial, opening statements to be shared “within days” per press release. The former assistant, a Jane Doe, says she began working for the rapper in 2018, with an agreed upon wage of $500 a week. She claims once she began working for Way, he sent her unsolicited, explicit photos. They eventually began a romantic relationship, however she alleges her time with the rapper was abusive, describing “kicking and punching and threats of violence and death” throughout their time together. “On one occasion, defendant Way punched plaintiff so hard in the head, she lost consciousness, only to wake up in a locked bedroom with no mattress, food or water,” the lawsuit reads. “On another occasion when plaintiff tried to quit and leave defendant Way, defendant Way locked her in a room for approximately three days against her will with no hot water until she was coerced into not leaving.” She claims she was not paid at all for any of the assistant work she did for Way. Vulture has reached out to Way’s attorney for comment.
