Too Short is not having the best week ever. Yesterday, TMZ revealed that Short is being investigated for raping his former protégé; the unnamed woman has done “provocative” videos and “other projects” with the Bay Area legend in the past.
[As a sidenote: last month, a rapper named Ana Lou tweeted an open letter of sorts about Short which seem to confirm that she’s the woman in question. As such, this is yet to be confirmed.]
According to police, said woman claimed that she was hanging with Short at his home in Los Angeles when the crime occurred…she also told cops that she was a virgin prior to the sexual attack. Initially, sources from Short’s camp denied the accusations, claiming that the woman was formerly signed to Short’s label and is now looking to extort the rapper after being dropped.
Now, Short — real name: Todd Shaw — has released a statement on the matter, which can be read in full below (source):
Today, I read that I am being investigated for allegedly committing sexual assault. The allegations against me are completely false. Let me be clear, I have NEVER had nonconsensual sex with anyone, ever. I have directed my lawyers to vigorously combat these ridiculous claims. I have not been contacted by the LAPD about this matter and doubt I ever will be. If I am, I will direct my lawyers to fully cooperate and turn over 100’s of text messages and other evidence that will prove this woman is falsely accusing me. Thanks for your support.
