Nigerian female rapper Ms Jorji has publicly accused Afrobeats dancer and DJ Poco Lee of sexually assaulting her and her girlfriend during a visit to his apartment in Dallas, Texas, approximately two years ago. The allegations come amid reports of Poco Lee's arrest in the United Kingdom.
Rapper's Account of the Dallas Incident
In a selfie-style video shared on Instagram, Ms Jorji recounted how she and her girlfriend went to meet Poco Lee at his Dallas home at a time when she was just beginning her rap career and hoping to gain industry advice. She stated that her girlfriend knew Poco Lee from their school days in Nigeria, which is how the visit was arranged.
According to Ms Jorji, she was wearing her wedding ring and told him she was married when they arrived. After playing him a song and seeking his guidance, she alleged that he suddenly grabbed her inappropriately. She slapped his hand away and confronted him, but claimed he then turned his attention to her girlfriend, grabbing her body and attempting to lift her dress.
Physical Confrontation and Escape
Ms Jorji said the situation escalated when Poco Lee tried to pull her girlfriend into a separate room as they attempted to leave. She claimed that both women physically fought him off, shoving him into a corner before grabbing their belongings and fleeing the apartment. The pair then drove three hours back home that same night.
She added that she called her then-husband immediately after leaving and recounted what had happened. The reason she did not report the incident to the police at the time, she explained, was that the assault was attempted rather than completed, as they had successfully fought him off.
Reason for Speaking Out Now
Ms Jorji also referenced a photograph that had circulated showing her placing Poco Lee in a headlock during a Nigerian concert event, saying that moment was deliberate. She claimed she told him directly, in front of others, that she would harm him if he ever tried anything like that again, though bystanders assumed she was joking.
She made clear that she is sharing her experience now because of the sexual assault allegations and reports of Poco Lee's arrest in the United Kingdom, stating that she "100 per cent" believes the claims being made against him.
