Artist Kehinde Wiley Faces Sexual Assault Allegations

Joseph Awuah-Darko, a Ghanaian artist, has publicly accused Wiley of two incidents of assault in 2021, which Wiley denies.

Awuah-Darko detailed the allegations in an Instagram post, describing one incident as severe and violent.
Wiley responded, claiming the relationship was consensual and the accusations are false.
Awuah-Darko cited cultural and safety concerns for not formally reporting the incidents in Ghana.
Wiley's attorneys have sent a cease-and-desist letter to Awuah-Darko.
Awuah-Darko hopes his revelation will encourage other victims to come forward.
