Calling the allegations “disgusting,” Soulja Boy has denied raping a woman.
During Tuesday’s (4.01) civil trial in California, the rapper (born DeAndre Cortez Way) testified in his own defense and insisted that he had “never” assaulted a woman who claimed he beat, raped and held her against her will.
According to Rolling Stone, defense attorney Rickey Ivie asked if the musician had ever “hit the plaintiff in the mouth, bust her lip, and force her to give you oral sex?” subsequent to which the 34-year-old artist responded: “Of course not, and that’s a disgusting allegation. It sounds crazy to me. I did not do that.”
Referred to as Jane Doe during the trial, the as yet unnamed plaintiff claimed she worked as a live-in personal assistant to the star, though Way denied she was ever his employee.
According to the lawsuit, Doe has accused the defendant of first raping her in a bathroom in February 2019, during a police raid of his home.
During the tenth day of the trial, while Soulja admitted that the couple had been sexually intimate on this occasion, he asserted it was consensual, insisting “I asked her if she wanted to have sex, and she was engaged in it.” “She didn’t push me or say stop, nothing like that.”
The hitmaker also claimed Doe lived in his home “rent free” and had offered to do things for him voluntarily.
The plaintiff claimed that she was regularly beaten and sexually assaulted over a period of two years, during which time the pair had a relationship that sometimes involved consensual intimacy.
During her testimony, Doe told the jury she “feared” for her life and alleged Way had told her he knew where her mother lived and had threatened to “send shooters” to the house. She also claimed Way withheld meals, locked her in rooms and called her cruel names.
Way began his testimony last week, when he was called as a hostile witness, and offered mainly one-word answers during the examination.
