*’Marriage Boot Camp’ Cameras Catch Soulja Boy Get Violent with Nia Riley: ‘This Hurts My Heart’
The latest episode of “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition” showing Soulja Boy and his ex-girlfriend Nia Riley‘s physical altercation is hard for viewers to watch.
Soulja and Riley have been off and on over the course of years, and the two are apparently off for good. During episode 8 of “MBC,” which aired on Thursday, the ex-couple got into an explosive fight in the middle of the night when the entire cast was asleep. The “Pretty Boy Swag” rapper was devastated that Riley, stepdaughter of R&B legend Teddy Riley, broke up with him on a previous episode, telling her that she had humiliated him on national television.

Riley, who broke up with Soulja boy due to their constant bickering, yelled for him to be quiet and “leave” her alone while scrolling on her cellphone. “Big Draco” became agitated that Riley wasn’t paying him any attention and charged toward her. He hopped onto Riley’s bed, which was across the room from his, and tried to grab the phone out of her hand. The mother of one belted out an ear-piercing scream while kicking him off of her as he grabbed her foot.
The entire house woke up and raced to Riley and Soulja’s room to break the fight up. Later on in the day, Riley revealed to Dr. V that the pair’s fight wasn’t their first physical confrontation and she was scared out of her mind because she had no idea of what he was going to do to her.
Soulja apologized to Dr. Ish and Riley for the incident, with the caveat that he didn’t hit her. However, the doctor reiterated to the “Marco Polo” artist that his erratic behavior triggers Riley’s past abuse trauma of when she was sexually assaulted.
He and his ex-girlfriend eventually made up, but social media was still polarized by what they’d just witnessed on TV.
“This is sad and disturbing 😟 ,” one “MBC” fan wrote on Instagram. “That scream has history behind it. Where is production and security? Why waka walk in and tell his wife to come on? Like how are you just gonna turn a blind eye to this shit? I’m praying for you Nia.”
“She didn’t have to yell tho, why was she yelling like that in the beginning? She lowkey put it on thick💯. She could’ve put her phone down,” another added.
“I’m so glad they broke up🤦🏾♀️,” another added. ” The toxicity in that relationship was way too much.”
“F–k security she should have mule kicked his ass his damn head!” another added. “I’m happy she left his skinny twig looking a–!”
