Soulja Boy Asks Court for DNA Test to Determine Paternity of 3-Year-Old

A court-ordered DNA test would determine paternity, resolve custody and support claims, affect a related defamation judgment.

Overview

  • Soulja Boy filed court paperwork on July 22 requesting a DNA test to confirm whether he is the biological father of KeAndre Cortez Way.
  • In the filing he said he would pay shared pregnancy costs and cover Jackilyn Martinez’s legal fees if the test proves he is the father.
  • Martinez filed a custody and child-support suit in October 2025 seeking primary custody and alleging she paid most of KeAndre’s expenses.
  • Court records and reporting cite an alleged hostile message from Soulja Boy to Martinez’s legal team, which prosecutors and judges may consider as part of the custody fight.
  • A DNA result that excludes Soulja Boy could undercut Martinez’s separate defamation judgment against Blueface because that case rests on the child’s parentage.
