British rapper Slowthai has denied allegations against him after he was charged this week with two counts of rape in connection with a September 2021 incident.
According to the victim, the rapper forced her to perform oral sex and raped her.
The rapper hopped on social media to plead his innocence.
“I am innocent and I am confident my name will be cleared,” he said. “Until then I will apply my energy to ensure this is concluded swiftly and justly. I ask that my supporters don’t comment about this situation and respect the process and privacy of my family during this time.”
The rapper rose to fame in 2016 when he dropped his debut album, “Nothing Great About Britain,” in 2019, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. His song, “My High” featuring Disclosure and Aminé was nominated for the Grammy for best dance recording back in 2020.
