Rapper and internet sensation Yung Filly has recently been charged with s*xual assault in Australia. As a result, he was arrested in Brisbane on Tuesday, October 8, and was taken to Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday, October 10.
However, as per the Independent's October 10 report, during his court appearance, even though the charges were read, he didn’t enter any plea. Meanwhile, amidst all of this, an old interview video of Yung Filly with his friend Chunkz resurfaced on social media.
In the interview video, YouTuber Chunkz said:
"I wouldn't let you marry into my family, by the way."
When Filly asked the reason and stated that he was a good man, Chunkz further said:
"Nah. I have heard too many stories."
Once the video went viral, netizens took to the comment section to refer to Filly's recent controversy and speculated that Chunkz had always doubted Filly's behavior. One user even said that the “signs were there” since the start.
"The signs were there!! Pay attention everyone", one user said.
Other netizens also shared a similar sentiment and asserted that Chunkz knew something. One X user even said that now everyone knows what Chunkz knows.
"Ohh nahh HE KNEW," one X user said.
"These clips did not age well for yung filly," wrote another one.
"We know everything what chunkz know," commented another user.
On the other hand, many people criticized Chunkz for allegedly knowing about Filly's problematic behavior and yet supporting him or staying quiet about it. One user even said that the former should be "ashamed" of himself.
"Men will know their friends are r*pist, ped*philes, and still stay friends for years with them," one X user wrote.
"Chunkz, harry etc and them knew filly was a rpist. you are guilty by association in my eyes. watch all them have the same behavior as filly," wrote another X user.
"Of chunkz knew and didn't do anything or say anything he should be ashamed," one netizen wrote.
Yung Filly gets bail with strict restrictions
After being accused of r*ping and strangling a woman in his hotel room in Perth on September 28 while on his Australia tour, Yung Filly was recently given bail. Following his performance at Perth, the internet celebrity is alleged to have s*xually attacked the woman, who was in her 20s.
After beginning the tour in Perth, he performed in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane before getting arrested in Brisbane. Filly is now being charged with three charges of assault resulting in bodily damage and four counts of s*xual penetration without consent.
He is also accused of placing pressure on the woman’s neck that obstructed blood flow and her ability to breathe normally. The police opposed his bail appeal before the Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday.
However, Magistrate Tanya Watt gave him bail but put severe restrictions on him, such as not speaking to his purported victim, not leaving the state, and not sharing information about the case with his millions of followers on social media.
According to the PA news agency, the British rapper must also remain in Western Australia, report to police every day, and deposit a personal guarantee of 100,000 Australian dollars (£52,000) in addition to the above requirements.
Moreover, as per the October 11 story of Wales Online, the Government of Western Australia stated in a press release that the "investigation is ongoing and S*x Assault Squad detectives urge anyone with information relating to this matter, or any similar incidents” to come forward.
The case's next hearing is scheduled for December 19 at 9.30 a.m. in Perth Magistrates Court. Meanwhile, neither Yung Filly nor his representatives said anything about the whole thing.
