A close associate of Nigerian dancer Poco Lee has stepped forward to defend him following online reports claiming he was arrested in the United Kingdom over an alleged assault.

Tunde Perry, who describes himself as someone with a strong personal knowledge of the entertainer, made his position clear in a video circulated on social media on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

Speaking directly to the controversy, Perry said he simply could not picture Poco Lee behaving in the manner described.

"It's not possible. He can't do it, I know him very well," Perry said in the video.

Poco Lee arrest reports remain unverified

Perry's defence, while heartfelt, has drawn a mixed response. Some social media users have questioned whether a personal relationship with the dancer is sufficient grounds to rule out the allegations entirely.

What is also clear is that the underlying story is far from established.

The identity of the person Poco Lee allegedly assaulted, the circumstances surrounding the reported incident and whether any formal charges have been filed all remain unknown.

No statement from a UK police force, court or prosecutorial body has surfaced to confirm that an arrest took place. The claims, as they currently stand, are unverified.
