Okmalumkoolkat has come out strongly to address the storm that has erupted around him being jailed for indecent assault and assault with indecent intent last year‚ telling his followers that he is a “broken man from a broken society“.
The rapper was sentenced to six months in an Australian prison early last year for the offence.
The incident was thrust into the spotlight again this week when a tweet by City Press made reference to his conviction in an article about his artwork collaboration with rapper AKA. The tweet caused fierce debate and saw AKA come out in defence of Okmalumkoolkat.
The Gqi rapper was largely silent on the fiasco‚ only telling the media to focus on his music instead‚ but finally broke his silence on the matter on Wednesday morning.
In a series of tweets he apologised to the woman who felt violated by him and to the nation as a whole.
