Socialite Pretty Mike has finally broken his silence about a rape allegation made against him by a writer, Olutimehin Adegbeye, last month. Olutimehin, via her twitter page, alleged the socialite raped her when she was just 16-year-old. Olutimehin did not stop there as she also claimed that on-air personality, Andre Blaze, assaulted her sexually two years ago. 
Speaking with Sunday Scoop on the issue, Pretty Mike said; “When I saw the story, which was sent to me by a friend, I laughed. Though I have ‘retired’, my friends and people who are close to me know ladies like me a lot. I think she is just a young lady looking for attention. I am a public figure; so, everyone knows where to find me. If you have issues with me, you can walk up to me. But to the best of my knowledge, none of such ever happened. People know I am not that kind of person.” 
On why he kept mute about the case, Pretty Mike said; “I am not a stranger to scandals. But to me, all these things are not scandals; they are just part of life. If something doesn’t bother me, I just ignore it. Different people have sent me messages, making all sorts of accusations. I cannot address every issue because it means you are giving them attention. When you react to it, they get what they want. She (the accuser) has nothing to lose. If I make her a scapegoat, she will get the desired attention and the next person will want to be another scapegoat too. She should do whatever she wants to do; it is a free world.” Photo Credit: Getty
