YK Osiris says that fans are "putting me in my place."

YK Osiris joked about fans' responses to his recent incident with Sukihana on his Instagram Story, earlier this week, remarking that he's been put in his place. Osiris faced ample backlash online after forcing himself on Sukihana at an event thrown by The Crew League in Atlanta, earlier this month.

"I swear y'all be putting me in my place," Osiris wrote with laughing and heart emojis. The post comes after Osiris apologized to Sukihana for his behavior at the event, admitting that he was "embarrassed."

“I want to publicly offer my sincerest apology to Sukihana. In an attempt to be playful, I misread the moment and violated Sukihana’s boundaries,” he wrote. “I understand the importance of consent and I am embarrassed by my behavior, I take full responsibility and have made multiple attempts to apologize. I have the utmost admiration for Sukihana and it was never my intention to disrespect her.”

Sukihana later accepted Osiris' apology, while making it clear that she doesn't intend to "excuse" it either. She revealed in an Instagram post that Osiris apologized both “publicly and privately and I have chosen to accept his apology. God always forgives me and I can always forgive others.”

She added: “He is young. It is my prayer that this experience will cause him and others to be more mindful and respect the personal boundaries of others. I am human, a woman, a mother and daughter before I am an entertainer. No matter what my lyrics express, I still have boundaries and a right to have them.” Numerous celebrities, including Meek Mill, Amber Rose, and more have spoken out regarding the incident.
