Blueface’s online feud with Soulja Boy has now moved from social media to his royalty checks. The latest turn in the Blueface royalties case has a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge redirecting the rapper’s ASCAP and BMI payments to Jackilyn Martinez, the mother of Soulja Boy’s child, until a $123,245 defamation judgment is paid off, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The order traces back to Martinez’s 2023 defamation lawsuit, which accused Blueface, born Johnathan Jamall Porter, of damaging her reputation during his public back-and-forth with Soulja Boy. FOX 11, citing City News Service, previously reported that Judge Peter A. Hernandez awarded Martinez the default judgment in April 2025 after Blueface did not participate in the case. The award included $100,000 for pain and suffering, though the judge declined punitive damages.
The comments at the center of the case were messy from the start. Blueface allegedly claimed he had sex with Martinez the day before she and Soulja Boy hosted a baby shower. He also posted, “Tell Soulja get a DNA test that’s my child lil bro I’m the daddy now,” according to TMZ’s reporting on the court filings.
Martinez denied the claim in court paperwork and said her only sexual encounter with Blueface was protected sex in 2018. “I did not engage in any sexual activity with Blueface the day before my baby shower, or while I was pregnant,” she said. “There is zero chance that Blueface is my child’s biological father.”
Her lawsuit also described the emotional fallout. “As a result of Porter’s wrongful conduct and the defamatory statements, I have and continue to suffer severe emotional and mental distress, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks (and) crying spells,” Martinez stated, according to FOX 11 and MyNewsLA.
The royalty angle is what makes this hit different. BMI says it distributes music licensing fees as royalties to affiliated writers and publishers when songs are publicly performed, while ASCAP says it licenses public performances and pays royalties to members. That means money tied to Blueface’s catalog can now be routed toward the judgment instead of straight to him.
Martinez also has a separate child support case against Soulja Boy over their 3-year-old son, according to TMZ, putting both rappers in legal storylines connected to the same family dispute.
