Nigerian dancer and hypeman Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has broken his silence following his release on bail, firmly maintaining his innocence regarding recent allegations that led to his detention.
In a video call interview with media commentator and activist VeryDarkMan, the entertainer reflected on the incident, particularly the impact on his family and brand operations.
Poco Lee revealed that the situation paralyzed his business activities, leaving his management unable to secure corporate partnerships or post on social media due to the stigma surrounding the accusations.
"My only worry was for my people back home. My manager couldn't do anything business-wise or social media-wise," Poco Lee said. "If I had actually done what I was accused of, I would have said I was being punished for my sins. But I didn't do anything, my mind is pure. Because nobody will want to attach themselves with something like that."
The dancer expressed deep gratitude to Grammy-winning artiste Burna Boy, socialite Rahman Jago, and his close associates in the United Kingdom for stepping in to secure his release.
"For Burna and Rahman Jago to come to my aid, it's a blessing," he added, addressing the online backlash he faced while detained. "I'm a jolly good fellow. Even when I didn't do anything, people were unhappy in my comments. But I don't mind all that."
Poco Lee was arrested and held in detention in the United Kingdom following allegations of sexual assault.
The legal proceedings center around five alleged sexual offenses, including: Attempted rape, two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration. The allegations stem from his trip to London in August 2026 for the Davido and Friends concert at the Crystal Palace Bowl.
