RAPPER Slowthai has arrived at court with his wife Anne-Marie to face trial accused of raping a woman after a gig.
The Grammy-nominated artist, real name Tyron Kaymone Frampton, allegedly attacked the woman in Oxford on September 8, 2021.
Frampton, 29, has arrived at Oxford Crown Court where his trial is set to open today.
The rapper, who is married to singer Anne-Marie, is charged with two counts of rape.
His co-defendant Alex Blake-Walker is also due to stand trial accused of the same charges.
The alleged offences came after Frampton performed at the Bullingdon Club in Oxford.
Frampton wed Anne-Marie in Las Vegas in July 2022 and the pair had their first child, a daughter, earlier this year.
Following his first court appearance last year, the rapper was scrubbed from the Reading and Leeds Festival lineup.
He was also removed from Glastonbury posters ahead of the festival last summer.
Frampton arrived on the music scene in 2019 with album Nothing Great About Britain.
He was nominated for best dance recording at 2021’s Grammy Awards.
He and Blake-Walker have denied the charges against them.
