During the reminiscing, she claims Common tried to sleep with her after a performance one night and refused to take no for an answer.
In the video, she said “The next thing I know, I wake up. It’s morning and I feel something poking in my face and sh*t. And it’s just poking in my face, poking in my face. And I’m like ‘What the f*ck?!’ Then I open my mouth, this n*gga trying to stick his d*ck in my mouth while I’m sleep.”
