Soulja Boy is taking Tasha K and William the Baddest to court.

TMZ reports that the “Crank That” rapper says William made comments on the Unwine with Tasha K podcast about him and Soulja being involved in a romantic relationship, which Soulja has denied.

He’s now suing both media personalities for defamation, sexual harassment, violation of right to privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and more—and is seeking $16 million in damages.

The lawsuit claims that William told Tasha in May that he and Soulja were romantically involved. “I loved it,” William said of a purported sexual encounter with Soulja. “It was everything. It was perfect.”

“I do not play that way,” Soulja fired back in his response. “Why they playing with my name on this internet like this, god. Oh hell no, y’all got me fucked up. Lawsuits … is on the way. I want $100 million.”

According to the outlet, Soulja says he allowed Tasha and William to recant their comments and sent them a retraction letter, but it seems that wasn’t enough for him. William also committed to the bit by apparently tattooing Soulja Boy on his face—though it appears it wasn’t real, as William’s later social media posts show him without the tattoo.

Tasha K has been here before. Back in October, a judge ordered that she pay Cardi B a $4 million settlement in their defamation lawsuit, even though Tasha claimed she was bankrupt.
