Philadelphia vocalist and R&B artist Jaguar Wright said she suffered sexual assault and misconduct at the hands of hip-hop artists Common and Talib Kweli.
On Monday, a clip of a recent Instagram Live featuring Wright made its rounds on Twitter, reports HipHopDX. In the clip, she details an experience where she says she rejected Common's sexual advances and he later tried to force her into oral sex.
“God damn Common. Next thing I know, we go to bed and he’s like, ‘C’mon Jag.’ I’m like ‘No, no, no. I’m tired n***a. I was on the stage all night. I want to lay down.’ I laid down with my clothes on. I’m a rape survivor. I know how to buy myself a little time,” she began.
Wright said she grew up learning how to protect herself and has no problem “booking off in your jaw” if someone tests her. The 43-year-old, who was involved with Common romantically, said she stopped associating with the rapper after the assault.
