Court orders Blueface's streaming royalties redirected to Soulja Boy's baby mama after defamation lawsuit over explicit social media claims.
- June 12, 2026
AceShowbiz - Blueface has had his music streaming royalties redirected to Soulja Boy’s baby mama, Jackilyn Martinez, following a court ruling stemming from a defamation case.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ordered that all royalties Blueface earns through ASCAP and BMI be paid directly to Martinez. This legal action resolves a dispute that began with social media conflicts and escalated into a significant defamation lawsuit.
The dispute originated when Blueface engaged in a public feud with rapper Soulja Boy, claiming he could defeat him in a Verzuz battle. However, the conflict intensified when Blueface made explicit claims about Jackilyn Martinez, alleging he had been with her the day before her baby shower for Soulja Boy’s child.
On the social media platform X, Blueface posted provocative statements suggesting a sexual relationship with Martinez and claimed paternity over the child, challenging Soulja Boy to confirm his biological fatherhood. These posts became the basis for Martinez’s defamation lawsuit.
Seeking $10 million in damages for defamation and emotional distress, Jackilyn Martinez pursued legal action after Blueface failed to respond. In April 2025, she won a default judgment awarding her $123,243.10. In court documents, Martinez clearly denied any sexual involvement with Blueface around the time of her pregnancy and stated there is no possibility he is the child’s biological father.
The redirecting of Blueface’s royalties is part of enforcing this judgment. Beyond this, Martinez is also reportedly seeking child support from Soulja Boy for their 3-year-old child. So far, Soulja Boy has not publicly responded to the child support claim.
This legal development highlights the serious consequences of public social media disputes, especially when they involve personal allegations that lead to defamation claims and court-ordered financial penalties.
