Grammy-nominated rapper Soulja Boy was ordered to pay $4.25 million to a woman he used to live with after he was found liable on civil claims of sexual assault, a California jury ruled Thursday.

Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Way, was found liable for assault, sexual battery, gender violence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and non-payment of wages, Courthouse News reports. The rapper, best known for his hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” was not found liable on claims of false imprisonment and constructive discharge.

The $4.25 million verdict includes $4 million in compensatory damages and $250,000 in punitive damages. The Jane Doe plaintiff, who asked not to be named throughout the trial, requested another $4 million in punitive damages.

“It’s gonna help,” the plaintiff said. “Now I can get medical attention and seek therapy. But none of that is going to give me my life back. I got some justice. I’m happy that this is all over now.”

The plaintiff said Way repeatedly raped and beat her during her two years working as an assistant for him. She admit that at one point the two were in something close to a consensual relationship, but it included physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

“I wanted to die,” the plaintiff testified through tears. “I just wanted to go home.”

Before the trial began, Way made an offer to the plaintiff to settle the case for $100,000, according to her attorney, Neama Rahmani. He later told the jury he couldn’t afford to pay the plaintiff $4.25 million verdict.

“As far as $4 million just to pull out and pay, I don’t have that,” he said.

Way said he was “deeply disappointed” by the ruling and referred to the accusations against him as “disgusting.” He also objected to the plaintiff remaining anonymous throughout the trial.

“I want to make it clear that I’m innocent,” he said afterwards outside the courthouse. “I am committed to filing an appeal and fighting for the truth to be revealed.

“Keeping these individuals anonymous while I’m forced to face public scrutiny creates an unequal playing field. I believe this entire process has been tainted by a system that is not designed to protect the rights of the accused,” he added.

Way has twice previously been accused by a woman of assault.

In 2021, he was ordered to pay $471,800 to an ex-girlfriend who accused him of domestic violence and kidnapping. He did not appeal that verdict. He also currently faces a lawsuit from another ex-girlfriend who claims assault and sexual battery, but the case is pending with no set trial date.
