Nigerian rapper Ms Jorji has made allegations against popular dancer and entertainer Poco Lee, claiming that he attempted to sexually assault her and a friend during an encounter in 2024.
The allegation emerged following reports concerning an alleged arrest involving Poco Lee in the United Kingdom. Ms Jorji’s account has since generated significant reactions online, although the circumstances surrounding the reported UK arrest remain subject to clarification.
According to the rapper, she and her friend visited Poco Lee after he invited them to his residence. She said she was seeking professional assistance and guidance as she worked to advance her music career.
Ms Jorji alleged that the meeting subsequently took an uncomfortable turn when the entertainer allegedly made unwanted advances towards her. She further claimed that similar behaviour was directed at her friend.
The rapper said both women resisted the alleged advances and eventually left the residence.
Ms Jorji also explained why she did not publicly discuss the incident when it allegedly occurred. She reportedly said she was afraid of speaking out and uncertain about how her allegations would be received, particularly given Poco Lee’s standing within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Her account has sparked debate among social media users, with some calling for the allegations to be properly investigated while others have urged the public to avoid reaching conclusions before all sides are heard.
It is important to stress that Ms Jorji’s claims are allegations and have not been established in court. Poco Lee’s response to the accusations would be relevant to a fuller understanding of the dispute.
The controversy also highlights wider concerns about the experiences of emerging artistes seeking opportunities, mentorship and professional connections within the entertainment industry.
Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, became widely known through his work as a dancer before expanding into music and entertainment.
As the story develops, further statements from the parties involved or relevant authorities could provide additional clarity on the allegations and the reported UK incident.
