Nigerian-born, Texas-based rapper Ms Jorji has accused popular Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee of attempting to sexually assault her and her friend during an encounter in Dallas, Texas, about two years ago.
Ms Jorji made the allegation in a video circulating online amid reports that Poco Lee had allegedly been arrested in the United Kingdom over a sexual offence. However, there is currently no verified evidence linking her allegation to the reported UK arrest.
Recounting the alleged incident, Ms Jorji said she and her friend visited Poco Lee at his Dallas apartment after she sought his advice as she tried to establish herself in the music industry.

She claimed that while she was playing him one of her songs, Poco Lee suddenly grabbed her inappropriately. According to her, she pushed his hand away and confronted him.
Ms Jorji further alleged that Poco Lee then turned his attention to her friend, attempting to pull her into another room while trying to lift her dress.
She claimed that both women fought back, pushed him away and eventually escaped from the apartment. She said they drove for about three hours before reaching home and that she immediately told her then-husband about the alleged encounter.
The rapper also referenced a photograph showing her putting Poco Lee in a headlock at a Nigerian event, claiming the confrontation was connected to the alleged incident.
Ms Jorji said she decided to speak publicly after hearing the recent allegations involving Poco Lee.
Her claims have not been independently established by law enforcement or a court, while Poco Lee has not publicly responded to the allegation as of the latest reports.
