On Tuesday, July 13th, a viral video began circulating on social media, capturing an incident involving YK Osiris and Sukihana during the Crew League basketball tournament in Atlanta. The incident occurred while Sukihana was commentating alongside co-commentators Lil Duval and Funny Marco.

The interaction took an unexpected turn when Osiris kissed Sukihana on the mouth without her consent, leaving her visibly surprised. The incident, which occurred amidst a gathering, has sparked a heated debate regarding boundaries, consent, and the appropriate treatment of women.

The video quickly gained traction, sparking widespread criticism and discussions about consent, personal boundaries, and appropriate behavior. Following the incident, Sukihana took to her social media accounts to express her feelings of hurt and fear, sharing her thoughts with her followers.

Sukihana took to social media and expressed: “I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself.” Another post shared her struggles with sensitivity and the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism, stating, “I drink to hide that I’m very sensitive. I feel things more than the average person. I stopped drinking yesterday, but today I’ve been crying all day. I asked God to strengthen me and use me to help others and to order my steps in his word. I just want to go away for awhile.”

After facing significant backlash, YK Osiris finally addressed the incident on social media. He issued a public apology to Sukihana, acknowledging his mistake in misreading the moment and violating her boundaries.
