Nigerian entertainer Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, is facing serious allegations of rape and reported arrest in the UK. The accusations emerged from a video shared online by rapper Ms Jorji, who claims that Poco Lee attempted to assault her girlfriend in Dallas, Texas, approximately two years ago. In the video, Ms Jorji recounted the incident in detail, stating that she and her girlfriend had gone to meet Poco Lee in his apartment, while she alleged that he attempted to grab her hand and later tried to pull her into a room. She said they ended up physically shoving him into a corner before leaving; According to Ms Jorji, they did not report the incident at the time due to a lack of sufficient evidence.

Accusation and Social Media Reaction
