Soulja Boy becomes the target of a lawsuit.
Soulja Boy is being sued by a Las Vegas chauffeur, Kamilah Daily, after he filmed the driver and used the footage in his “Bling” music video without his permission.
According to The Blast, in February 2017, Soulja hired a transportation company chauffeur him, his director, and manager around Nevada. Ultimately, Daily ended up being their driver and she is not happy with her experience with them.
Daily is now seeking unspecified damages, and says the video caused him to lose his job. Daily is also suing Soulja for the substantial distress and mental anguish the footage caused. In addition, Daily has also sought an injunction from the rapper in order to prevent him from continuing to distribute the video or footage. The music video has since been removed from YouTube.
Daily released the following statement in regards to the lawsuit, “I am a private person, so I have kept quiet about this whole legal matter with Soulja Boy. This video has circulated throughout social media outlets and was requested to be taken down. The video originally was taken down off one of his YouTube accounts but keeps being reposted over and over again. I have driven A-list celebrities and their families and I never had to go through anything like this with them or had problems.”
A judge has denied Soulja’s request to have the case dismissed.
