Original 01/07/2019:
A woman has taken to Twitter to publicly claim that she was sexually assaulted by Chance the Rapper's drummer Stix, born Greg Landfair Jr., and she also claims she was raped by Towkio, who has collaborated with Chance on several songs. According to The Source, Landfair is reportedly the brother of the underage victim in the infamous R. Kelly sex tape.
The woman, who used the Twitter handle @pppermint, went into graphic detail about Towkio reportedly coercing her into having sex, and she claims that she went to Planned Parenthood the following day and admitted that she was raped. She then claimed that Stix sexually assaulted her after her prom in 2011, and the drummer DM'd her to explain his side of the story and claimed that he never knew that he made her feel uncomfortable.
Towkio also released a statement denying the woman's claims. He wrote, "I am deeply saddened by the recent allegations made by Morgan. To provide necessary context, she and I were in an on going consensual sexual relationship dating back to 2014 which even included other women. I only say this to provide context and in no way to victim blame."
He added, "It is of the utmost importance to me that she and the entire world know with 100% certainty and my hand to God that I would never engage in any intercourse with any women without full consent. While I absolutely deny these allegations, I feel awful that I would be a source of pain for her. It is my hope that her and I can engage in a dialogue in a place where she feels comfortable to discuss our relationship and her feelings."
