Soulja Boy Questions Paternity of 3-Year-Old Son

Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, has initiated legal proceedings to determine paternity for a child he allegedly fathered. In documents filed on Wednesday, July 22, the rapper requested a DNA test for KeAndre Way, who is reportedly three years old. This development follows a lawsuit filed by his ex-partner, Jackilyn Martinez, in October 2025. Martinez is seeking primary custody of KeAndre and child support payments, asserting that she has primarily covered the child's expenses. She claims Soulja Boy contributed financially only after persistent requests. Previously, in September 2022, Soulja Boy had publicly acknowledged the birth of a son, marking his alleged first child, and was reportedly present for the child's gender reveal earlier that year. If the DNA test confirms his paternity, Soulja Boy has agreed to cover pregnancy costs and legal fees for Martinez.
