Soulja Boy was ordered to pay his ex-girlfriend over $235,000 for pistol-whipping her during a heated argument.
A Santa Monica jury awarded plaintiff Kayla Christine Meyers $234,100 for physical and mental pain and suffering plus $1,800 for mental health expenses for a total of $235,900.
The jury also found the rapper guilty of acting with malice, oppression or fraud, leading to another trial to determine punitive damages.
The incident took place on February 1, 2019. Myers told police Soulja Boy held a gun to her head and told her she was going to die.
He then instructed an assistant to take Myers to the garage and tie her up with duct tape.
Soulja Boy allegedly told her to perform a sex act on his assistant. Afterwards, Myers said she was dragged by her hair inside the house and forced to take two showers.
She was eventually allowed to leave the house with two fractured ribs and a facial contusion.
Soulja Boy denied the allegations and claimed she was the aggressor during consensual rough sex with his assistant.
Soulja Boy was taken into custody in March 2019. Police found ammunition during a search of his home. The ammunition violated Soulja’s probation stemming from a 2014 weapons case.
