L-Tido weighs indirectly in on false Chris Brown r@pe accusations. Although the rapper didn’t mention Chris Brown’s name, the timing of the tweet suggests that he was commenting on a recent story which broke earlier this week. The American singer was arrested on suspicion of r@pe before eventually being released from custody without being charged.
#16 Rapper, L-Tido took to Twitter this week to air his views on what should happen to people who falsely accuse others of r@pe.
Reports suggest that Breezy is now taking legal steps to sue the woman who accused him, and many people have responded with mixed opinions in the time since the story broke. Now, back to L-Tido.
Those defending Chris have directed their anger at his accuser (the singer shared a video denying all allegations) and also brought up the age-old discussion around false r@pe reports. L-Tido, whether commenting on Chris’ saga or simply sharing his views, made it clear which side of the fence he sits.
The rapper wrote on Twitter:
People who falsely accuse people of rape should be arrested ‼️ problem is they also fuck it up for the real victims

This sparked a discussion in his comments with many (mostly men) agreeing with him. While his suggestion didn’t stem from a bad place, it was worth questioning if this was where our collective anger (especially as men) should be directed:
I'd love to challenge you and all men to start voicing your anger at the fact that:
-Only 14% of reported rapists are convicted in SA
-For every 2200+ rapes – only 1 arrest is made.If you're looking for legal justice, please can it be justice for ALL.

The views in the tweets above solely belong to the authors of the tweets and not ZAlebs.com. L-Tido’s comments on the subject of s.e.x and consent have landed him in trouble in the past. Do you remember this tweet from mid-2018?
Ladies if a guy wants to fly you out and you ain’t trying to smash, don’t take that flight‼️ . A nigga ain’t flying you out to play 30 seconds

In the end, he clarified that he would never coerce a woman into sex unless she gave clear consent.
