Tunde Perry, a close associate of Nigerian dancer Poco Lee, has broken his silence to defend the entertainer against reports of an arrest in the United Kingdom on assault allegations. In a video shared on social media, Perry dismissed the claims outright, asserting that the allegations do not match the character of the man he knows personally.
"It's not possible. He can't do it (assault anyone), I know him very well," Perry said in the video, according to Legit.ng. The statement came as the arrest story circulated widely online, drawing reactions from fans and critics alike.
Unverified Arrest Reports Raise Questions
Despite the viral spread of the arrest narrative, critical details remain unconfirmed. The identity of the alleged victim, the specific circumstances of the incident, and whether any formal charges have been filed have not been established. No UK police force, court, or prosecutorial body has issued an official statement verifying that an arrest occurred, leaving the reports unverified at this stage.
Legit.ng noted that the lack of official confirmation means the public should treat the claims with caution. The entertainer has not personally addressed the reports, and no further details have emerged from UK authorities.
Separate Allegations From Texas Rapper Ms Jorji
As the UK arrest story gained traction, a Nigerian-born rapper based in Texas, who performs under the name Ms Jorji, came forward with her own separate accusations against Poco Lee. She alleged that the dancer attempted to assault her and her girlfriend approximately two years ago. These claims, which emerged independently of the UK reports, have added another layer of scrutiny to the dancer's conduct.
Legit.ng compiled reactions from social media users following Perry's defense. User @johnson_ogwu commented, "UK no be nigeria pray make evidence de say him no do am ,wetin footballers de pass through on a steady." Another user, @Moyoorr, wrote, "Who be this one naaaaaa What do you mean by he can't do it??? Human??? In 2026??? Stop joking, anyone can do anything."
Background and Context of the Dancer's Career
Poco Lee, a popular Nigerian dancer and entertainer, has built a substantial following through his energetic performances and collaborations with top artists. The recent allegations, however, have cast a shadow over his public image. The separate accusation from Ms Jorji, while not directly linked to the UK reports, has fueled ongoing discussions about the dancer's behavior.
Legit.ng also reported earlier on Fake Pocolee, a separate content creator and hypeman, who gained attention after Davido commented on his post. That story, unrelated to the current allegations, highlighted the broader entertainment scene in Nigeria.
As of the latest updates, no official statement from Poco Lee or his legal representatives has been released, and the UK arrest reports remain unverified by any official source. The situation continues to develop, with social media users and fans awaiting further clarity.
