<\/div>\n

Four women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault against former Das Racist<\/a> rapper Victor \u201cKool A.D.\u201d Vasquez.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Pitchfork<\/a>, the four women, including Vasquez\u2019s estranged wife Saba Moeel, alleged instances of non-consensual sexual activity that occurred between 2006 and 2015.<\/p>\n

Moeel previously aired her allegations against Vasquez, as well as electronic musician Zomby, in a series of December 2017 tweets<\/a>. Moeel provided more details to Pitchfork regarding the alleged sexual assaults by Vasquez, who she married in April 2014; Moeel gave birth to their daughter in September of that year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur first time [in 2011] was at his parents\u2019 house, and I told him straight up, \u2018We can hook up, but I don\u2019t want to have sex tonight,\u2019 and he said, \u2018OK,\u2019\u201d Moeel said. \u201cHe did it anyway, and I just froze, and he was like, \u2018Oh it\u2019s OK, just for a little bit.\u2019\u201d Moeel also alleged a New Year\u2019s Eve incident found Vasquez \u201d basically [making] me give him head while I was super drunk and wanting to throw up and go to the bathroom.\u201d (In an email to Pitchfork, Vasquez said he remembered both incidents as \u201cconsensual.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Marta Martinez, a college friend of Vasquez\u2019s who had an on-and-off intimate relationship with the rapper, told Pitchfork of a June 2006 incident where Vasquez crashed at her San Francisco apartment. \u201cHe woke me up multiple times throughout the night trying to make advances, and I kept telling him no,\u201d she said. \u201cFinally he woke me up at like 6 or 6:30 in the morning. And I was feeling super pressured. I think my exact words were, \u2018OK, fine.\u2019 But then I immediately fell asleep. I was sleeping and I felt him inside of me. And I said, \u2018What the fuck?\u2019 I will never forget my first response.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martinez became pregnant soon after the assault; Vasquez paid for an abortion and accompanied her to the procedure, both parties confirmed to Pitchfork. \u201cI would like to apologize again to Marta,\u201d Vazquez wrote to Pitchfork. \u201cIt was never my intention to hurt her and I wish her peace and send her love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two more women also shared similar experiences involving Vasquez allegedly forcing sex on them without consent. In regards to the two women\u2019s allegations, Vasquez said while he remembered each incident differently, \u201cI do not wish to deny her truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vasquez added, \u201cI know I still have a lot of unlearning to do regarding sex, ego, pride and masculinity. I\u2019m learning to recognize the toxic ideals of masculinity that I unthinkingly bought into. I compulsively sought validation through sex, selfishly unaware of the harm I was causing. I\u2019m trying to be vigilant about consent, have more direct conversations, check myself and really be present and attentive to the wants and needs of the women in my life and not just in sexual relationships but in my relationships with all women.\u201d<\/p>\n
