“I am innocent and I am confident my name will be cleared,' Slowthai wrote.
Slowthai, a Grammy-nominated rapper from Northampton, was seemingly yanked from the lineups of a number of upcoming music festivals in the United Kingdom after it was announced he’d been charged with rape. The 28-year-old, whose real name is Tyron Frampton, appeared virtually in court on Tuesday, where he was charged with the oral and vaginal penetration of a woman without her consent in an alleged 2021 incident in Oxford.
His name has since been erased from two festivals set to occur next month—Glastonbury and Parklife—as well as August’s Reading and Leeds Festival. As of Wednesday, he was still set to perform at London’s Wembley Arena in July, according to. After his court appearance, Frampton took to Instagram to address the matter. “Regarding the allegations being reported about me. I categorically deny the charges,” he wrote. “I am innocent and I am confident my name will be cleared.
