Rapper Slowthai Charged With Rape, Removed From Festival Lineups

Slowthai appeared in court charged with two counts of rape against a woman in 2021.
Slowthai denies the charges but was released on bail with a court date next month.
In the wake of the charges, Slowthai was dropped from the lineups of major UK music festivals like Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds.
Slowthai gained fame in 2019 with his debut album and has worked with major artists, but now faces the most serious controversy of his career.
The case has been referred to crown court where a jury will determine Slowthai's guilt or innocence.
