The alleged victim filed a complaint with police in May 2022.
Somali-Canadian rapper K naan, whose hit song Wavin' Flag became a global anthem, was acquitted of sexual assault charges on Wednesday, according to CBC.

The alleged victim reported the incident to police in May 2022. The judge, while acknowledging questions about the artist's account of events, found that there was insufficient evidence to convict K naan beyond a reasonable doubt.
