“I ask that my supporters don’t comment about this situation and respect the process and privacy of my family during this time.”

Frampton did not enter a plea during the appearance and only confirmed his real name, date of birth and Northampton address. Prosecuting lawyer Adam Yar Khan said the rape charge must be heard at crown court, due to it being an indictable-only offense. At the time of publication, there is no further information surrounding the charges and the accuser’s claims.

The rapper rose to fame in 2016 when he dropped his debut album, “Nothing Great About Britain,” in 2019, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. His song, “My High” featuring Disclosure and Aminé was nominated for the Grammy for best dance recording back in 2020.
