Rapper Ms Jorji has accused Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, of sexual misconduct during an alleged encounter in Dallas, Texas, in 2024.
Her allegation comes amid reports concerning Poco Lee’s reported legal difficulties and arrest in the United Kingdom.
Recounting her account of the alleged incident, Ms Jorji said she and a female friend went to Poco Lee’s apartment after he invited them.
She said her reason for accepting the invitation was to seek mentorship and professional advice as she pursued her music career.
According to the rapper, the encounter took an unexpected turn when Poco Lee allegedly made unwanted physical advances towards her.
She further alleged that he subsequently made similar advances towards her friend and attempted to force her into another room.
Ms Jorji said she and her friend resisted the advances and were able to leave the apartment.
She claimed they immediately got into their vehicle and drove for several hours to return to their destination that night.
‘Fear kept me silent’
The rapper said she did not speak publicly about the alleged encounter at the time because she was afraid and felt intimidated.
She also said she was concerned that people might not believe her account because of Poco Lee’s profile in the entertainment industry.
“Two years ago, Pocolee tried to rape my friend and me; we ended up beating him and pushing him off,” she alleged.
Ms Jorji also claimed that sexual propositions linked to career opportunities were not unusual in her experience within the music industry.
She alleged that other individuals in the industry had similarly demanded sex from her in connection with professional opportunities.
The allegations made by Ms Jorji are claims and have not been independently established. Poco Lee’s response to the allegations was not included in the account available for this report.
