A British rapper accused of raping a fan after an Australian show testifies in his own trial. According to reports, the defendant tells the court that he asked the woman to return with him to his hotel. The trial centers on allegations that the woman was assaulted following the performance, with the prosecution presenting the rape charge. The rapper’s testimony addresses what led up to the hotel request and his version of events after the show. Both outlets describe the same core element of his evidence: that he initiated contact by asking the complainant to come back to the hotel. The reports frame his comments as part of his defence, without detailing additional contested facts beyond the hotel interaction. The case is ongoing, with the court assessing the competing accounts presented by the parties.
