AceShowbiz - Soulja Boy’s former girlfriend is moving to sell his music royalties in an effort to recover nearly $4 million awarded by a court, AllHipHop reports. The woman, who initially served as the rapper’s personal assistant before their romantic involvement, aims to use the income generated from his catalog to satisfy the legal judgment against him.

AllHipHop revealed that the ruling came after a jury trial in April 2025 found Soulja Boy liable for sexual battery, infliction of emotional distress, and other claims arising from their two-year relationship. During the proceedings, the ex-girlfriend described episodes of abuse, including being confined in a room without food for extended periods. Soulja Boy’s attorneys challenged the verdict, insisting the evidence did not justify the decision. Xxlmag adds that this legal battle is part of a broader pattern in which Soulja Boy and fellow rapper Blueface, with whom he shares a public feud, are both losing music royalties to women connected to them due to separate court rulings.

Soulja Boy is known for his 2007 breakout hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” and has appeared in films such as Malice N Wonderland (2010), Soulja Boy: The Movie (2011), and Officer Down (2013). Over the years, he has received multiple nominations from the BET Hip-Hop Awards and Teen Choice Awards. The ongoing legal and personal turmoil marks a significant chapter in the career of the Chicago-born rapper.

The move to sell royalties underscores the financial impact of the judgment on Soulja Boy, signaling that unless he successfully contests the sale in court, his future earnings from music will be redirected. This development also highlights the increasing willingness of courts to authorize the transfer of artists’ royalties to resolve legal debts, a trend gaining attention within the music industry.
