A jury has ordered rapper Soulja Boy to pay $4m to a woman who has accused him of sexual assault during their nearly two-year relationship.
On Thursday, a jury in Santa Monica, California, found the 34-year-old rapper – whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way – liable for a handful of claims including sexual battery, assault and imprisonment in a lawsuit brought by a woman who said she worked as his assistant. A representative for Way had previously called the case “nonsense”.
