Hilda made mention of a bracelet, which she claimed Soma accused her of stealing, alleging that he drugged, beat and tied her up in April 2024.

“I’m just going to put these questions out here for you all to ask him. Ask Somadina Anyama how the “stolen bracelet” got to me in the first place. Ask him what happened at my house in late April this year—how he drugged me, hit me, tied me up and smashed my phone—knowing he’d instilled fear in me over the years and thought that I wouldn’t speak up one day,” she added.

She wrote, “Ask him why he keeps lying to everyone, putting on a two-faced mask of innocence. The list is endless! I’ve kept quiet this long and moved on with my life, so please, you all , direct your attention to @soma_apex”

I Won’t Date A Musician Even In My Dreams – Ayra Star

Speaking with American singer Coco Jones during an interview with Rolling Stone, Coco asked her if she would date someone in the industry.

During a recent interview with Dazed Magazine in September 2024, the singer expressed her longing for a relationship.
