Soulja Boy seems to be keeping his relationships away from the spotlight recently.
Over the years, the TV star has been in a multitude of relationships, many of which were on-again, off-again, and some possibly overlapping.
He has reportedly been engaged twice, once to his fiance, Rosa Acosta, who he dated in 2009.
Soulja has also reportedly dated many fellow musicians, including Keri Hilson, rapper Diamond, and Teyana Taylor.
The Chicago-born star has also been linked to adult model Rubi Rose, Lil Mama, and Nia Riley.
Soulja Boy was featured as the main cast member on Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood for the first two seasons, also making appearances in a few episodes of season three.
His relationship with Nia was chronicled on the show, which followed the former couple as they worked through his busy touring schedule and possible infidelity.
He began his time on the show in 2014 before he was allegedly removed from the reality series two years later.
At the time, Soulja Boy tweeted: “I’ve decided to quit Love & Hip Hop. I feel my brand is too big for the show now.”
Nia and the rapper also appeared briefly on Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition.
Despite his dramatic exit, Soulja Boy was rumored to make a comeback on Love & Hip Hop in 2019.
However, due to legal issues at the time, he never made a reappearance.
Soulja began making music around 2004 and continued to increase his following via websites like MySpace and Youtube.
