Soulja Boy Responds After Being Found Liable in Civil Rape Case

Soulja Boy has broken his silence after being found liable in a civil trial for sexual assault and ordered to pay over $4 million in damages.
The lawsuit was filed by a former personal assistant who accused the rapper of assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Following the verdict, Soulja Boy expressed frustration over the impact of the case, saying it has cost him heavily in legal fees and career setbacks.
He maintains his innocence and says he plans to appeal the decision.
Soulja Boy also criticized the legal process, noting that while his accuser remained anonymous, he was forced to face public backlash.
His attorney echoed those concerns, suggesting that cultural bias may have played a role in the jury’s ruling.
Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s attorney, Ron Zambrano, argued that the damages were justified given the trauma his client endured.
The trial is now moving into a second phase to determine whether punitive damages will be added.
