Rapper Meek Mill is receiving criticism for endorsing a male rapper on Twitter who was charged with “sexual assault” and claiming that the rapper was living in a “hypersexual era.”
After seeing a video of YK Osiris attempting to kiss musician Sukihana at a The Crew League event, 36-year-old Mill tweeted his support for the rapper. The Crew League, a reality series where celebrities and their entourages compete in sports-related activities, has Sukihana, 31, as its co-host for season five.

Sukihana, whose real name is Destiny Lanette Henderson, was discussing the issues at a table with three other males when Osiris, 24, walked up behind her and began massaging her exposed shoulders.
She can be heard exclaiming, “Oh my God,” and gasping in amazement as Osiris grabs her face and tries to kiss her on the lips. Osiris, also known as Osiris Jahkail Williams, adds “she likes it” as Sukihana struggles to pull away.
Sukihana keeps yelling, “stop it,” and “no,” while Osiris rubs her shoulders and the other panellists chuckle in the background.
The incident soon gained traction on social media, with Mill throwing his two cents in and drawing the ire of music fans. He retweeted a screenshot of Sukihana’s tweets after the incident where she said “‘I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself.”
Mill tweeted: “Don’t do this to him please he a good kid …. Just slap him and he gotta let you something … we don’t need our young bulls tore down for mistakes in this hyper sexual era…. I support suki … hold that s*** down on some street shit.”
He quickly faced a lot of backlash, with people telling him to keep his opinion to himself.
One tweeted: “Don’t do this to him? Sir he did this to himself. Now imagine if he had the audacity to do this on camera what is he capable off?”
The rapper eventually relented and threw his support behind Sukihana.
“And protect suki! Osiris you a dh! Go back to church stop following the heathens!” he wrote on Twitter.
While Sukihana did not directly address the incident publicly, she did tweet on Tuesday about being “very sensitive” and she had “been crying all day,” before deleting her Twitter account.
Just hours after Mill’s tweets, Osiris took to his Instagram to issue a public apology to Sukihana.
