Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee addressed the media after his release on bail in the United Kingdom, saying he remained mentally resilient because he knew he was not guilty of the allegations against him.
Poco Lee communicated during a video call with social commentator VeryDarkMan, which was shared on social media on Sunday.
The dancer stated that his primary concern during this period was the well-being of his associates and the potential impact 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 any business, and I didn’t want to stress anyone,” Poco Lee said.
He clarified that his mindset would have been different if he believed he had committed the alleged offence.
“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 added.
Poco Lee also thanked those who continued to support him during this challenging period, especially Nigerian singer Burna Boy and his associates.
“Nobody would have wanted to associate themselves with something like that, but Burna Boy stood by me, Jago and some of my other guys,” he stated.
VeryDarkMan, who shared footage of the conversation, also questioned some of the reports surrounding Poco Lee’s situation while praising Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for standing by the dancer.
This development comes ahead of upcoming proceedings, with Snaresbrook Crown Court scheduling September 15 for plea and trial preparation.
The case reportedly followed 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.
