Rapper YK Osiris apologizes after he 'violated Sukihana's boundaries' in attempt to kiss her

Rapper YK Osiris has issued an apology after he "violated Sukihana's boundaries" in a video that has since gone viral on social media.

Osiris, 24, rubbed rapper Sukihana's shoulders before grabbing her face for a kiss at a Crew League event in Atlanta over the weekend, video shows. During the interaction, the TV personality, 31, moved away from Osiris and yelled "help."

In a statement on Instagram Wednesday, Osiris wrote, "I want to publicly offer my sincerest apology to Sukihana."

"In an attempt to be playful, I misread the moment and violated Sukihana's boundaries," the "Worth It" rapper continued. "I understand the importance of consent and I am embarrassed by my behavior. I take full responsibility and have made multiple attempts to apologize."

Osiris ended, "I have the utmost admiration for Sukihana and it was never my intention to disrespect her."

The 24-year-old rapper, whose real name is Osiris Jahkail Williams, is best known for his 2019 hit "Worth It." He released his debut album "The Golden Child" that same year.

Sukihana (real name: Destiny Lanette Henderson) has been a cast member of "Love & Hip Hop: Miami" since 2020. She's also released music, including "5 Foot Freestyle" and "Casamigos," and made a cameo appearance in Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's music video for "WAP."

Sukihana has seemingly deleted her Twitter account amid the viral incident. In tweets prior to deactivation, the "Eating" rapper wrote, "I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself."

"I drink to hide that I'm very sensitive. I feel things more then the average person. I stopped drinking yesterday but today I've been crying all day," she added in another tweet. "I asked God to strengthen me and use me to help others and to order my steps in his words. I just want to go away for awhile."

Osiris was accused of sexually assaulting Sukihana during the incident after he persisted to kiss the fellow rapper despite her protest.

"She was sexually assaulted and people just sitting their laughing…" one person tweeted.

Others defended Sukihana as her sexual persona was used against her. "The sentence Sukihana does not deserve this, is a full sentence. It does not need an 'as wild as she is,' an 'as nasty as suki is,' an 'as sexual as she is.' Women don’t deserve unwanted physical experiences is a full sentence," a social media user said.

Another added: "People are justifying the situation saying she deserved it? WHAT?! I don’t care how 'NASTY' she claims to be. Kissing, groping, and fondling without consent is flat out WRONG."
