Blueface Sued For Defamation by Soulja Boy’s Ex
Jackilyn Martinez, who has a young son with Soulja Boy, is taking legal action against Blueface for defamation. This follows a series of social media posts by the rapper suggesting that he could be the father of Soulja Boy’s one-year-old son.
Martinez lodged her complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on a Friday. She claims that her legal team sent Blueface a cease-and-desist letter on a Tuesday, but his response on Instagram was dismissive and derisive, stating, “Nobody even said your name.”
In her legal documents, Martinez asserts that she had protected sex with Blueface once in 2018, but there has been no contact between them since then. She firmly states, “There is zero chance that the defendant is plaintiff’s child’s biological father,” as per her complaint obtained by Rolling Stone.
Blueface, legally known as Johnathan Jamall Porter, allegedly stated in his social media posts, which are included in the complaint, that he had sex with Soulja Boy’s “baby mama the day before your baby shower,” and he specified the date of the shower as June 11, 2022. He further speculated, “Might be my kid he ain’t even get the DNA test,” in another post mentioned in the lawsuit.
Martinez alleges that after she announced on her Instagram that she had sent Porter a cease-and-desist letter, she began receiving numerous death threats on the platform from unidentified individuals. One message read, “We gun in u down,” while another chillingly stated, “When u in the grave I’ll make sure you baby Alr,” according to the complaint.
Martinez expressed in her filing that she is deeply worried for her and her child’s safety and well-being, stating, “Plaintiff is gravely concerned for herself and her child’s safety and well being, and plaintiff is extremely nervous and afraid to go outside and/or be in public.” She argues that the alleged defamatory statements portray her as “promiscuous” and “unfaithful to the father of her child.” Martinez accuses Porter of failing to retract or remove the statements from social media, and she suspects that he made these claims to boost his career by “engaging in a feud” with Soulja Boy, legally known as Deandre Cortez Way. Her lawsuit includes charges of defamation, false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. She is seeking actual and punitive damages, legal fees, and a permanent injunction preventing Porter from defaming her.
