Soulja Boy Revealed to Have Negative Net Worth During Legal Battle with Ex-Girlfriend

Soulja Boy is facing financial hardships, according to a judge. Soulja Boy was attempting to have a six-figure judgment thrown out due to struggling with money, only to find out he actually is.

According to RadarOnline.com, Soulja Boy’s argument was not convincing, and he is still on the hook to pay his ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers for an alleged assault. Myers stated that Soulja Boy hit her head with a gun at a 2019 house party. Soulja Boy has been ordered to pay $472,000. Half of the total is for damages, and the other half is for punitive damages.

Soulja Boy currently rents a Los Angeles home for $25,000 a month. In addition, he has a car collection that as worth $600,000 when he purchased them and $18,000 in jewelry. The rapper does not own any property.

Soulja Boy currently makes $10,000 to $50,000 a show, but a $1 million tax debt counters that.

After analyzing the details, a judge noted the rapper’s “net worth is negative” but still awarded Myers her payment.

“While it is not clear that defendant could just snap his fingers and book as many shows as he would like, neither is it clear that he cannot work at all. It might not be the work he wants (and he might not be headlining), but the court has no reason to believe that he cannot perform at all,” the judge said.

The judge also suggested the rapper moves to a more modest home around $10,000 a month.

DeAndre Cortez Way, publicly known as Soulja Boy, has been an influential figure in the music industry for over a decade. From his breakthrough hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” to his entrepreneurial ventures, he has left a mark on the hip-hop industry. However, behind the fame and success lies a significant financial challenge – Soulja Boy’s tax debt.

In recent years, Soulja Boy has faced legal and financial battles, with one of the most pressing issues being his tax debt. According to reports, the artist owed a substantial sum to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) due to unpaid taxes. This predicament highlights many high-earning individuals’ common struggle in managing their finances and tax obligations.

The IRS relentlessly pursues unpaid taxes, and failing to address the issue can lead to severe consequences, including penalties, liens, or even legal action. Managing such financial obligations becomes crucial for an artist who has enjoyed significant commercial success.

The tax debt issue undoubtedly challenges Soulja Boy’s financial stability and career trajectory. Financial strain can limit his ability to invest in new projects, jeopardize his personal assets, and hinder his overall financial well-being. Additionally, it can tarnish his public image and credibility, leading to potential difficulties in securing partnerships or endorsement deals.

Resolving tax debt requires careful financial planning and cooperation with tax authorities. Soulja Boy’s team of financial advisors and attorneys are likely working diligently to negotiate payment arrangements and potentially reduce the overall amount owed. 

Soulja Boy’s tax debt serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the importance of proper financial management for individuals in the entertainment industry and beyond. The struggle to balance personal finances and meet tax obligations is a common challenge high-earning individuals face. As Soulja Boy navigates this financial bump in the road, it is a reminder for all of us to stay vigilant and responsible regarding our financial affairs, ensuring compliance with tax laws and seeking professional assistance when needed.

Drake Hits NYC Hot Spot with 20 Women Following MSG Shows

Drake Teams with Snapchat to Launch Augmented Reality for Duration of 'It's All A Blur Tour'

Drake stepped out after his New York City show at Madison Square Garden, and in true Certified Lover Boy fashion, he had at least 20 women with him. According to PageSix, The Boy followed his MSG residency each night with an after-party at Mamo in Soho, where he was said to be surrounded by a “bevy of beauties.”

Why Mamo? Well, they hold Drake down whenever he wants to visit. “They close down for him all the time,” says our insider. “It’s super last-minute. They get hit up, and they accommodate him very well.”

Drake has wrapped up his time in New York City for the It’s All A Blur tour. Taking the stage during his final show at Madison Square Garden, Drake gave an update on when fans will be able to hear his For All The Dogs album.

Before departing the stage, Drake promised to return and gave the update.

“I will be back soon. I have an album dropping in, like, two weeks or some shit,” Drake said. “But until then, just know, you’re always with me and I’m always thinking of you and everything I do is for you. Every time I step in that booth, I hope to make you proud.”

Two weeks “or some shit” would put The Boy around a release date of August 11. You excited?

Fans have often said that Drake’s “got that dawg in him,” but this week, he took that statement literally as he was spotted leaving his hotel in New York City wearing a full-head dog mask.

Drake rocked the head-turning (or tail-wagging?) look on Thursday as he left his hotel to head to his performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The black and tan mask (which some say is a doberman while others say is a rottweiler), which covered his full face and neck, was complimented by a fresh New York Yankees baseball jersey and gray sweats and what appears to be a glass of white wine.

Luckily it appears that the “Hotline Bling” singer was able to see just fine through the mask’s eyeholes as he successfully made it to his show in Brooklyn (one of several in New York City over the past week). The performances were part of his “It’s All a Blur” U.S. tour with 21 Savage.

Travis Scott’s concert at the Pyramids of Giza is officially canceled. Live Nation Middle East released a statement on Wednesday, citing the show is off due to “complex production issues.”

“We regret to inform you that the Utopia show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is cancelled,” Live Nation Middle East’s statement said on Twitter. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert.

“We understand that this news is disappointing and not the outcome any of us desired. Refunds will be issued to all ticket holders at their point of purchase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may have caused and appreciate your understanding. We remain committed to bringing exceptional live performances to fans and hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future.”

Previously, Travis Scott was the subject of rumors that his show in front of the pyramids in Egypt had been canceled. According to outlets in Egypt, The Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions, who provide permits, nixed the show.

“Since the General Syndicate is part of the fabric of this beloved country it is keen on its stability and refuses to tamper with societal values and Egyptian and Arab customs,” the statement reads.

The Syndicate added, “Based on research and documented information about strange rituals at Travis’s concerts that are inconsistent with our authentic societal values and traditions, the Board of Directors has decided to cancel the license issued to hold this type of concert that contradicts the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

Representatives from Live Nation have responded, stating, “There have been no changes to Travis Scott’s show in Egypt; any reports to the contrary are false. We can’t wait to celebrate ‘Utopia’ with you in Egypt!”

Reps for Scott also reached out to Hypebeast, denying the show was canceled.

Travis Scott announced in celebration of his highly anticipated new album, Utopia, he would perform a special show in front of the Pyramids of Egypt on July 28th. The Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, will be the awe-inspiring backdrop for this immersive experience.

Alongside this announcement, Travis Scott has also revealed that ‘Utopia’ will feature five distinct artworks, adding to the album’s creative depth and visual storytelling. Pre-orders for the ‘Utopia’ vinyl, CD, and merchandise box sets are now available to engage his fans further. This limited collection includes apparel and accessories inspired by the album’s visionary concept, with custom-designed items that showcase Travis Scott’s unique style.

Cardi B and Offset have had a rollercoaster of a relationship. Last month, Offset publicly accused Cardi of cheating on him in an Instagram Story, which Cardi vehemently denied: “First of all, let me say: You can’t accuse me of all the things you know that you are guilty of,” she said in a Twitter Space.

Since then, Cardi joined him during his Rolling Loud Miami set, and now they’ve announced a collaboration together, coming Friday, July 28. Fittingly titled “Jealousy,” the track was announced on Cardi’s Instagram with the artwork of the single.

The song was teased by Offset earlier this week with a promotional clip on Twitter featuring Jamie Lee Curtis: “Your fans are saying that there’s a lot of drama between you and your beautiful wife, Cardi B,” she said. Offset replied, “Let’s talk about music.”

In May, Offset revealed that Cardi, calling her his “bestie,” helped him quit lean. “I put down lean. I was drinking my whole career,” he said. “It opened my mind up, but I never thought it helped me create. I feel like getting past that, cleaning up, and putting that message out.”

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Following the passing of music legend Sinéad O’Connor, fans of the Irish singer began reminiscing about her most iconic songs and moments like the time she famously tore up a photo of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. However, another fiery O’Connor retort to power has come to light, and it has people falling even more in love with the late musician.

After the death of her son, Piers Morgan reportedly tried to get O’Connor on his show several times. She wasn’t having it and shot him down with a hilarious email that blasted him for his well-known obsession with Meghan Markle.

Via The Irish Mirror:

“Hi Piers, I think it’s best I don’t do your show because of the irresistible temptation I would have to point out that you’re dying to be balls deep in Meghan Markle so bad it’s driven you crazy, and that your dislike of Prince Harry is down to his being balls deep in her ten times a day.

“It being the case that if you were ever to get near her, which would never happen, you’d last ten seconds: and that would be that for ten days.”

The rejection has gone viral since O’Connor’s death, and people can’t believe the email actually exists. O’Connor’ was a real one, and she just picked up a whole new legion of fans thanks to her absolute roasting of Morgan.
