The management of Nigerian dancer and entertainer, Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has publicly acknowledged singer Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan.
In a statement shared via Poco Lee’s Instagram page, his manager, Faleye “Dee-Y” Adedoyin, said Zlatan and others had been supportive throughout the matter.
The statement read: “Hello Everyone, we would like to publicly acknowledge that Zlatan, along with others, has been extremely supportive and helpful through this matter”.
“Their involvement, support, and effort have been vital to moving things forward.
We deeply value their ongoing support and dedication, and we kindly request that everyone refrain from spreading negative narratives.” The statement was signed “Poco’s Management.”

....: Poco Lee’s UK Trial Rescheduled to March 2027
Meanwhile, in an earlier video of Poco Lee speaking about his recent experience in the UK, the dancer acknowledged Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for standing by him during the difficult period.
His management has now added that Zlatan was among those who offered support, although it did not disclose details of the singer’s involvement.
Poco Lee’s UK ordeal began after reports emerged in August that he had been detained over sexual offence allegations.
He was later charged with five offences: two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.
His management had earlier urged the public not to treat allegations as proof of guilt and warned against spreading unverified claims, including reports about alleged drink spiking, which the team said did not form part of the charges before the court.
Poco Lee was granted bail in September after spending weeks in custody.
Reports subsequently emerged that he had been released, while claims also circulated that the complainant had withdrawn the case. However, the UK proceedings remained active.
The plea hearing has now been fixed for February 8, 2027, while the trial is scheduled to begin on March 8, 2027.
