Soulja Boy told a judge he was too busy touring to be aware of movements in his ex-girlfriend’s shocking lawsuit — and pleaded for more time to respond.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Soulja said he was unaware the court had issued sanctions over his failure to appear at a deposition in the case.

As we first reported, this month, Doe revealed the number of damages she wants Soulja to pay. She requested $5 million for her pain and suffering and another $5 million for emotional distress.

The court recently threw out Soulja’s answer to the lawsuit due to him failing to appear for his deposition despite being ordered.

Doe told the court Soulja had stopped communicating with her counsel after his lawyer dropped out of the case last year. The judge ruled that Doe could seek a default judgment against Soulja but allowed the rapper time to show up to court.

Now, in his new motion, filed by a new lawyer, Soulja claimed he was unaware of the recent developments in the case and found out in the news. He said he was unrepresented for a year and touring in the United States and Internationally.

Soulja said he had been interviewing lawyers after his last one dropped out. He said he hired his new lawyer last month.

He argued he was not properly served with notice of the court hearings. The judge has yet to rule on Soulja’s plea to allow him to continue to fight the case.
