Original story: (Jun. 14, 2023): Sukihana is dealing with a lot of hurt after YK Osiris seemingly tried to force a kiss on her.
A video has recently hit the internet that seemingly shows YK Osiris, 24, trying to forcibly kiss fellow rapper Sukihana, 31. The unwarranted incident reportedly occurred over the weekend at The Crew League event in Atlanta. In the footage, Sukihana is sitting at the host table when YK Osiris comes up behind her and starts to rub her shoulders. He then turns Sukihana’s face towards him as he bends down and attempts to kiss her. During the entire situation, Sukihana appears to be very uncomfortable. However, despite her seemingly saying “no” and turning her face away, YK Osiris goes in for another kiss attempt. He then walks away laughing. Unfortunately, the clip doesn’t show any of the male hosts at the table intervening to help Suki.
Since the footage has made its way online, many have called out YK Osiris, born Osiris Williams, accusing him of sexual harassment. Suki has seemingly addressed what happened via Twitter and said,
“I drink to hide that I’m very sensitive. I feel things more then the average person. I stopped drinking yesterday but today I’ve been crying all day. I asked God to strengthen me and use me to help others and to order my steps in his word. I just want to go away for awhile.”
She later added,
“I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself”
Earlier today (Jun. 14) Amber Rose, who is known for advocating for women’s rights, shared a message online in support of Suki, real name Destiny Henderson. She wrote,
“Are we really going to sit back and let this happen to Sukihana??? She was sexually assaulted and no one did anthing [sic]!!! This is the entertainment business and she is an entertainer!!!”
She continued,
“Using her lyrics and her persona as an excuse to physically touch her and force her without her consent is absolutely disgusting. What happened to “protect Black women”??? I cried watching that video and I’m sure a lot of women have as well.”
People are also rallying around Suki due to a resurfaced interview she had with Kandi Burruss and her co-host DJ Aone for the YouTube series “Kandi Koated Live.” During the conversation, DJ Aone made a few questionable remarks toward the rap star and even said,
“I want to put my face in your p*ssy.”
