In a video call with social commentator VeryDarkMan, Poco Lee said his biggest concern while in detention was the welfare of his team and how his absence would affect their business.
“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,” he said.
Speaking on the case, the prominent dancer insisted that he is innocent of the allegation and has a clear conscience.
“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,” he stated.
He also acknowledged the support he received during the period.
“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, who shared the video call on social media therefore praised singers Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for standing by Poco Lee.
In the caption, VDM stated that: “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.”
