A former dancer has accused rapper Snoop Dogg of rape, among other things, shortly before the Super Bowl and the halftime show, which the hip-hopper is also scheduled to attend. The rapper himself is defending himself against the allegations in a cryptic post.

Munich – Shortly before his appearance in the halftime show at Super Bowl 56, serious allegations against rapper Snoop Dogg have come to light.

An anonymous plaintiff filed a civil suit against the rap star in federal court in Los Angeles on Wednesday. According to TMZ, the plaintiff is a former dancer who accuses the 50-year-old of sexually assaulting her during a job interview in 2013.

The plaintiff’s indictment charges Snoop Dogg and his confidant Bishop Don “Magic” Juan, whose real name is Donald Campbell.

Plaintiff seeks damages

Accordingly, the plaintiff is seeking damages in an undisclosed amount. The plaintiff’s lawyer, Matt Finkelberg, said on Thursday that his client “no longer wants to be silenced and intimidated”. According to Finkelberg, she hopes to “inspire other victims of sexual harassment, assault and battery to understand that they have rights, that they are protected and that even though they are victims, they don’t have to be silenced forever. “
