‘Soulja Boy’ Being Sued By ‘Souljah Boy’

December 8, 2007 by Jyle  

Soulja Boy Hip-Hop/Rapper Soulja Boy is being sued by another obscure rapper that goes by the name of Souljah Boy. He claims that he had coined the name before Soulja Boy came around. His legal reps sent this message to Soulja Boy;

“I am writing on behalf of the law firm of Alexander, Odunze & Kang LLP to give you a heads up re: the attached complaint, which was filed in federal court this afternoon on behalf of Willie Lyons p/k/a Souljah Boy. By way of background (and as you may already know), Mr. Lyons, known in commerce as Souljah Boy for over twelve years, is suing artist Soulja Boy (birth name: DeAndre Way), his record label, attorney & manager in connection with his blatant infringement of Mr. Lyons’ trademark.”

If you are going to steal someone’s stage name why not pick a better one? Sorry, I don’t like the name and I’m sure Soulja Boy most likely doesn’t think the name is worth millions of dollars in an out of court settlement.

    WHY SUE HIM I LUV THIS GUY HE DIDNT DO ANY THING RONG!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE DUDE DUDE DONT SUE THE MAN HE SSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOl

  12. KILL SOULJA BOY says:

    He shouldn’t be sued, he should be prosecuted for killing Hip Hop. He is DEFINITELY not even close to being the best rapper ever. Soulja Boy isn’t even rap, he’s in the $H!T category. TUPAC is a rapper, BIGGIE is a rapper, BONE THUGZ are rappers, KRS 1 is a rapper, BUSTA RHYMES is a rapper, Soulja Boy is NOT a rapper.

  13. soulja boy is an amazing rapper, n he shouldnt get sued. hiz name made him famous like soulja boy tell em. thats hiis orginal name before the fans switched it to soulja boy.

    SOULJA BOY DIDNT STILL R COPY SHYT TH@ OTH3R NIKKA JUST HATEN(WE WAV3 AND SAY HI HATERS)CUHZ WE TH3 ON3S MAKIN MONEY LIK…

  29. Jimmy Kanada says:

    I must agree with Ice T 100%… Soulja Boy is just a bunch of over rated hype… His tracks are nothing but annoying catch phrases and repeated dumb lyrics that any monkey can think up… I personally would not pay one nickle for his album and one penny would be a total rip off to see his corny act on stage…. His dance moves are very homosexual looking… And most of all i dont understand why Soulja Boy would make tracks like “shoot out” and “Pistol Play”, when he is nothing but a little country, house dog, trying to put on the street image… He is phony and the biggest shame in hip hop… It really amazes me how he made it so far in the rap game with his B.S…. music

  30. jess says:

    i think he should b sued. you copied somone and u aint that great of a rapper.
