The artiste has now released an official statement on Thursday June 4, where he vehemently denied the rape allegation again, declaring that he does not support the rape culture.

He stated;

The claim is false and has also been refuted by a witness who was present at the time of the allegation. Rape is heinous and cowardly act, which I do not condone.

Peruzzi also apologized for his old tweets where he declared himself a rapist and also one who encourages the rape culture.

He wrote;

I am ashamed and deeply apologetic for a series of tweets posted on social media 8 years ago. Those tweets were irresponsible and ill-informed. I was younger and did not fully grasp the implications of making such statements. They are neither a reflection of who I was then, and now.
