Soulja Boy is facing some legal troubles. As the rapper enjoys the success of his latest single, “She Make It Clap,” an effort that went No. 1 on TikTok, he was reportedly hit with a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend. According to TMZ, Soulja Boy was sued for alleged sexual battery and domestic abuse by his former partner, who chose to stay anonymous and be known as Jane Doe in the lawsuit that was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. She claims to have started dating Soulja Boy back in 2007 before entering a serious relationship with him from 2014 to 2019, but she says that she exited it because she could “no longer stand the abuse.”

The rapper’s ex-girlfriend also accuses him of attacking her in 2015, an incident she says resulted in a miscarriage and the removal of her uterine lining. She also claims (via TMZ) that Soulja Boy “began to physically attack and yell at her” while they were filming their reality TV show, and in 2019, she alleges that he physically removed her and her daughter from their shared home, and when she later refused to enter back into a relationship with him, he allegedly “gripped [Doe’s] neck and choked her while threatening her life.”

This is the rapper’s second lawsuit of the year after he was sued (in January) for alleged sexual battery, sexual assault, and false imprisonment by his former personal assistant, who also filed under Jane Doe.

Andra Day Talks Dealing With Porn & Sex Addiction While Portraying Billie Holiday

by

Her acclaimed performance as Billie Holiday earned her a Golden Globe win and made her an Oscar nominee, but behind the scenes, Andra Day was dealing with a bevy of issues related to her character. The actress revealed that she shed 40 pounds to portray the Jazz icon who gained fame during the 1930s until her controversial death in 1959 from alcohol and drug-related complications. 

Day is sitting pretty as InStyle‘s latest cover star and discussed The United States vs. Billie Holiday, mentioning that she wanted to make sure that her portrayal of the singer wasn’t seeped in hypersexualization or sensual overtones because of what she’s overcome in her personal life.

Holiday entered a Jazz scene that was male-dominated, but Day wanted to make sure Holiday’s talents and struggles with addiction were highlighted, not her sexuality. “I didn’t want any element of sexualization. I had come out of something in my own life — dealing with porn addiction, sex addiction,” said the actress. “I’m being very, very candid with you because I’m not the only one. But I knew I wanted all of that very much gone.”

“I feel now, after playing Billie, that I’m honoring her, and the strength that is femininity,” she added. “I’m definitely in a healthier place to enjoy that because I’m outside of the addiction, if you will. So, yeah, it’s been really fun, because it’s been very new for me.” Check out a few images from Andra Day’s InStyle feature below.

Gillie Da Kid Defends Jay-Z “Sorry Not Sorry” Criticism After Mysonne Calls Him Out

by

The conversation regarding Jay-Z’s bars on “Sorry Not Sorry” continues. Hov and Nas were recently praised for their Khaled Khaled addition that included looks from James Fauntleroy and Harmonies by the Hive, but Gillie Da Kid wasn’t much of a fan of Jay-Z’s verse. While driving around with his Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast co-host Wallo267, Gillie shared his opinion after being teased about listening to Lil Durk tracks back-to-back.

“You want me to throw Jay on talkin’ about a ‘B and then another B and then a double B,'” Gillie said. Wallo laughed as Gillie continued. “‘Can’t forget about the other B.’ That sh*t was corny! That sh*t was corny as sh*t.” Rapper and activist Mysonne didn’t agree.

“C’mon now, Gil. You can’t hate on that verse. C’mon. You my guy, but for you to act like that verse is not lyrical mastery, all that sh*t that that man did in that verse,” said MYsonne in a video. “I ain’t never probably heard a n*gga that come through on a verse that said that much sh*t. Triple entendres, double entendres, bars, he gave you hard bars, then he gave you braggadocious bars, and the delivery, the cadence? Everything—that sh*t is lyrical mastery. That’s what you call a verse, my n*gga.”

“You can teach a course with that verse,” he added. “You can’t say that verse is wack. I get it, you might be tired of hearing a n*gga and all that, but don’t do that. You ain’t no hater. You a real one. You can’t hate on that… Yeah, Lil Durk and them is cool and they got some bars but this is Hova.” A convincing argument from Mysonne, but Gillie doubled down on his previous remarks.

“Bro, you talk about ‘that’s Hov.’ It is Hov. It is. And Hov is the GOAT. The Greatest Of All Time. I’m not taking that away from him, but let’s not act like a n*gga can’t have an opinion, man,” Gillie responded. ‘Oh, this is the greatest, you can teach a course.’ With that sh*t?! You can’t teach no f*ckin’ courses. I don’t care what y’all talkin’ about, man. I got an opinion. I’m a whole fan. I wave the Hov flag, sh*t. Hov is that n*gga. That joint wasn’t that, man. I don’t give a f*ck what y’all sayin’.”

“You still not gettin’ in the [Roc Nation] brunch, he’s not gon’ send y’all no passes to get to the brunch, Mysonne. That sh*t cool. You my brother. You ain’t gettin’ in the brunch.” Check out their videos below and let us know who you believe is right.

Lil Uzi Vert ‘Dumbed Down’ ‘Eternal Atake’ For Sales, But Really Wanted It To Be ‘Cultlike’

It’s no accident that Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most popular figures within hip-hop. In fact, he admits some of the calculated choices he made to attain that status in a new interview in W Magazine. Commenting on the commercial success of his most recent album Eternal Atake, which debuted at No. 1 two weeks in a row thanks to its split release and is still charting a year later, he says that he considers the album “dumbed down” as a direct appeal to a broader audience.

“All of my music for Eternal Atake got leaked, so I had to redo it,” he recalls. “It didn’t reach its full potential—I just knew it wasn’t the sound I was going for. Let’s just say Eternal Atake, for another artist, would have been really good because it was super dumbed down to where everyone could enjoy it, but that’s not my artistry. I want my new music to be more intimate to my real fans. I wanted it to be almost cultlike.”

Uzi attributes his artistic compromises to playing the comparison game. “I was listening to all the industry guys and their formats—it was confusing me because these guys are getting No. 1’s,” he allows. But I realized the music ain’t even living; their No. 1’s are real quick. I had to realize this is their beginning; they’re younger than me, so they have room to do that. I don’t have room to do that. I used to always look at all the young guys and be like, ‘Oh, shout out this guy.’ I ain’t shouting out nobody no more.” With a new album on the way, he’ll have a chance to make up for his perceived missteps.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
