Ray BLK accuses Ambush Buzzworl of sexual assault at YouTube event
Ray BLK has accused London rapper Ambush Buzzworl of sexual assault during a YouTube event in February.
Over the weekend, London singer/songwriter Ray BLK tweeted Ambush saying he had two days to "publicly address and apologise for what you did to me at that YouTube event." She added, "This time a real apology where you don’t then tell me "I shouldn’t get onto you" for assaulting me would be great."

Ray BLK waited just 20 minutes before deciding Ambush's time was up, and posted a lengthy note revealing Ambush "aggressively" grabbed and shook her breast at a YouTube event in February.
The singer writes that she confronted the rapper moments after it happened, only for him to reply, "what can I say Ray I saw your breast and they were looking nice." Ray BLK reveals that despite the fact her blood was boiling, she realised "if I addressed this in the manner I wanted to right there, I would have turned that incredible positive YouTube event completely upside down."
"Not wanting to be painted as an aggressive and crazy black woman to people who has 0 context," Ray BLK adds. "I decided to walk away and so I said ok tomorrow we'll talk about this."

As well as posting a lengthy note about the details of Ambush's response, Ray BLK also shared screen recordings of messages and voice notes between her and Ambush. In one of the messages, Ray BLK writes, "Not gonna lie this 'my bad' as an apology isn’t really good enough considering you sexually assaulted another artist."
Ambush replies in a voice note, "Ray, man, don’t do me like this, man, I’m sorry, I apologise, man. You know me, I’m flirty, I’m just fucking about man, your breast was out … It does violate, I apologise man, I didn’t mean to make you feel any sort of way."

In the other voice notes, Ambush tells Ray BLK she doesn't need to "stick it on" him, and later says that she doesn't need to "reinforce it on me like I’m some fucking sexual predator."
