Soulja Boy sued Tasha K and reality star William The Baddest for defamation, violation of privacy, amongst other allegations over homosexual allegations they spread about him.[23][24] Although Soulja Boy vehemently denied the allegations,[25][26] on Tasha K's podcast, William The Baddest claimed that he had a sexual encounter with Soulja Boy, describing explicit details.[27][28]
