Soulja Boy's accuser in his sexual assault trial is asking the jury to award her $73.5 million.

On Monday, closing arguments were held in Big Draco's trial where he's accused of sexual battery, rape, assault, false imprisonment, emotional distress, and more in a lawsuit filed in 2021 by a woman claiming she worked as Soulja's personal assistant starting in 2018.

The woman reportedly shed tears as her legal team said she deserved all the money coming her way if the jury sides with her.

According to Ron Zambrano, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiff, asked the jury to make their own assessment of the case given what has been discussed, including allegations that the rapper sexually and physically assaulted her.

"If you don't believe my client, don't give her a dollar," said Ron Zambrano, one of the attorneys representing the woman. "But if you do believe her, give her everything."

He added: "He raped her, he punched her, he kicked her, he cut her. He picked up and then slammed her, choked her, left bruises from squeezing her arm. He grabbed her head by a mirror and said, 'No one will love you,'" attorney Ronald Zambrano told jurors as his client broke down crying. "He pointed a Draco gun at her. He locked her in a room, threatened her family, threatened her, denied her food."

Zambrano also shared images of text messages between Soulja Boy and his accuser that showed him threatening her numerous times, including telling the woman, "I hope u die slow," and "I hope you catch corona, bitch [...] I should have killed your ass."

In addition to asking for the woman to receive money, her legal team portrayed Soulja Boy as a ruthless boss and claimed he wore "fake glasses" and a suit to lure the jurors on his side. However, Soulja's lawyers stated he was a victim of an ex-girlfriend who was looking for a payday.

"It was an act, a four-week act with glasses and a suit," Zambrano said. "The act you're being asked to buy, unfortunately, my client did buy it. It's why she went back. … I ask that you don't fall for the man sitting over there with fake glasses on trying to convince you he's incapable of the bruises you've seen, the cuts you've seen, the text messages he sent."

Soulja Boy has denied the accusations and called them "disgusting" during his testimony last week. He also denied the woman was his personal assistant but did admit they had a sexual relationship.
