Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee has spoken publicly for the first time since being released on bail in the United Kingdom, saying he remained mentally strong because he was confident he had not committed the offence alleged against him.
Poco Lee made the disclosure during a video call with social commentator VeryDarkMan, who shared the conversation on social media on Sunday.
Reflecting on his experience, the dancer said his biggest concern while he was away was the welfare of his associates and the effect his absence could have on their businesses.
“I was just being myself. God sees my heart. My only worries were about my people. Jago could not do anything business, and I didn’t want to stress anyone.
“If I was inside there and I did what I was accused of, I would have felt I was paying for my sins, but since I knew I didn’t do what I was accused of, my mind is pure.
“Nobody would have wanted to associate themselves with something like that, but Burna Boy stood by me, Jago and some of my other guys.”
VeryDarkMan, while sharing the video, questioned some of the reports surrounding the case and commended Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for standing by Poco Lee during the ordeal.
In a caption accompanying the video, he wrote: “I just got off a video call with @rahman_jago_ and @poco_lee. I guess the next narrative will be this is AI 🤡. THERE IS A REASON WHY I BRAG WITH INTEGRITY, I AM NOBODY’S mate, WHEN I talk take it to the bank.”
The case is connected to Poco Lee’s visit to the UK in August for the Davido and Friends concert, held at the Crystal Palace Bowl in London on August 14.
Snaresbrook Crown Court had previously fixed September 15 for plea and trial preparation in the matter.
Poco Lee has not been convicted of any offence, and the allegation against him remains before the court for determination.
