Poco Lee Sexual Assault Allegations: Rapper Ms Jorji Accuses Entertainer Of 2024 Dallas Incident
Nigerian rapper Ms Jorji has made a serious allegation against popular dancer and hypeman Poco Lee, whose full name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, claiming that the entertainer attempted to sexually assault her and a female friend during a visit to his apartment in Dallas, Texas, in 2024.
The allegation emerged on social media amid unverified reports claiming that Poco Lee had been arrested in the United Kingdom. Ms Jorji, while speaking about the alleged incident, claimed that she and her friend visited Poco Lee at his apartment after he invited them over, saying she had gone to seek advice from the entertainer about her music career at the time. According to Ms Jorji, she and a female friend visited Poco Lee’s apartment after receiving an invitation from the entertainer, explaining that her purpose for visiting was primarily professional, as she was seeking mentorship and guidance as she worked to advance her music career.
She alleged that Poco Lee subsequently made unwanted physical advances towards her before allegedly turning his attention to her friend and attempting to pull her into another room. Ms Jorji claimed that she and her friend resisted the alleged advances and eventually managed to leave the apartment, saying they drove back home for several hours that night following the encounter.
Ms Jorji said she decided to speak about the alleged experience following recent reports concerning the entertainer, adding that her personal experience influenced her belief in allegations being made against him. She also claimed that her alleged experience with Poco Lee was not an isolated encounter, saying she had met other people within the music industry who allegedly made inappropriate sexual propositions to her in exchange for career opportunities.
Poco Lee, whose full name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, shot to the top of social media trends after reports emerged that he had allegedly been arrested in the United Kingdom in connection with a separate allegation of sexual assault, according to Arise News and PM News Nigeria. Details surrounding the reported arrest, including whether formal charges have been filed, remain unconfirmed by UK law enforcement, and there is presently no verified evidence directly linking Ms Jorji’s account to the reported arrest in the UK.
It is important to note that Ms Jorji did not publicly provide details of any police report, court proceeding or other independent evidence relating to the alleged incident in the video she shared, and the claims made by her remain allegations and have not been independently verified. As of the latest available reports, neither Poco Lee nor his representatives have released any public statement addressing the reported UK arrest or Ms Jorji’s accusations.
The controversy has once again highlighted the speed with which serious allegations can spread across social media, particularly when they emerge alongside unverified reports involving public figures. The renewed discussion comes as allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse of power continue to draw attention within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, particularly concerning the vulnerability of young and emerging artistes seeking career opportunities.
Reaction to the allegations has been swift across Nigerian social media, with many users calling for further clarity from all parties involved, while others have urged caution given the absence of any formal legal confirmation of either the UK arrest reports or Ms Jorji’s specific claims. As of the time of filing, the circumstances surrounding both the alleged 2024 Dallas encounter and the reports concerning Poco Lee’s purported arrest in the United Kingdom remain unresolved, with no official statement issued by law enforcement authorities in either country confirming details of an arrest or any related legal proceedings.
