Soulja Boy’s Ex Given Green Light to Seize His Cars and Cash to Satisfy $500k Debt
Rapper and entrepreneur Soulja Boy is facing the prospect of parting with significant assets, including cash and luxury vehicles, to settle a debt exceeding half a million dollars owed to his ex-partner Kayla Myers.
Court documents obtained by Radar Online revealed that the rapper, known for his hit “Crank That,” will be required to relinquish several high-value items to satisfy the debt. These assets include his yellow Bentley, a red Lamborghini, a Dodge Charger Hellcat, and a yellow Mercedes-Benz. Additionally, Soulja Boy will have to surrender a diamond-studded “Soulja Boy” neck chain valued at $10,000 and a black Cartier watch worth $8,000, along with any cash holdings exceeding $1,000.
The court order, signed on Friday, September 29, stems from a lawsuit filed by Kayla Myers against Soulja Boy, in which she was awarded close to $500,000 in damages.
According to the order, the Sheriff’s Department is authorized to enter Soulja Boy’s property at any time to seize the specified assets, and he is prohibited from interfering with the seizure process.
In a previous court appearance in July, the rapper, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, admitted to not owning the home he resides in and disclosed a debt of over $1 million owed to the IRS. He also revealed limited assets, including three cars (two valued at $250,000 each and one at $100,000), jewelry valued at approximately $18,000, and $50,000 worth of stock.
Soulja Boy’s efforts to prevent the court from imposing punitive damages or securing a retrial have been unsuccessful. In 2020, he was sued by Kayla Myers for alleged assault, battery, and false imprisonment, stemming from an incident at his Malibu residence that reportedly lasted six hours. While he was not criminally charged for the assault, weapons found in his home led to a probation violation.
In a subsequent civil trial, Soulja Boy was ordered to pay Myers $235,000. However, Myers was later awarded an additional $236,000 in punitive damages, leading to a combined judgment approaching $500,000. Soulja Boy’s attempts to have the verdict overturned or retried have been exhausted.
