Riff Raff accused of rape; tour cancelled

Tour promoters Audiopaxx have cancelled Riff Raff‘s upcoming Australian and New Zealand tour in the wake of a rape allegation against Riff Raff, The FADER reports. Audiopaxx writes:

TOUR UPDATE: we have been made aware of allegations made against Houston rapper Riff Raff. Audiopaxx takes these matters seriously and does not condone any of this alleged behaviour. In light of this, we have spoken to his management team and the scheduled tour of Australia and New Zealand has been cancelled, effective immediately.

The tour cancellation after a public Facebook post by a woman named Eliza Stafford, who wrote “In 2013 I was raped by a man whose stage name is ‘Riff Raff.'”

She went on to describe the night, writing, “I was offered a 60ml ‘party’ shot. I took the shot, it was syrup and I immediately asked what it was. Riff raff and his support act told me that it was codeine and started laughing. I don’t remember anything from that point.” She then said that another girl saw her being forced into a car, and “I woke up as Riff raff was pulling out of me and getting in to the shower.” You can read her full post here.

Riff Raff has not yet publicly responded.
