N6 apologises to Peruzzi, retracts rape allegations

The feud between on-air personality and rapper, N6; and singer, Peruzzi, has taken a new turn, with N6 issuing a public apology and retracting the allegations of rape and paedophilia he made against the singer.

The controversy began after N6 criticised Peruzzi’s business decisions, particularly his reported practice of writing and giving out hit songs without formal agreements, describing the move as a “stupid idea”.

Peruzzi responded by accusing N6 of squatting at his residence for years, using drugs, including alleged crack cocaine, and failing in roles such as a “DJ manager”. He also shared old videos which appeared to show N6 comatose on a couch.

N6 denied the drug allegations and offered a N1m reward for anyone who could provide proof. However, the disagreement escalated when he brought up the rape allegations previously made against Peruzzi in 2020.

During the heated exchange, N6 referred to Peruzzi as a “Nationally Registered Rapist”, “sexual degenerate” and “paedophile”, claiming the matter was resolved out of court. He also alleged that the controversy affected Peruzzi’s finances and ability to get a visa, while making comments about his family.

He further encouraged people to search Peruzzi’s name alongside the word “rapist” and hinted at plans to produce a documentary on the issue.

However, some fans and observers criticised N6, accusing him of hypocrisy, and questioning why he maintained a relationship with Peruzzi despite being aware of the previous allegations, and only bringing them up because of their fallout.

However, on Thursday, July 16, 2026, N6 issued an apology on X, retracting all the claims he made against the singer.

He stated that the rape, paedophile, financial and family-related allegations were false and baseless, noting that they were based on unverified information without proper fact-checking.

He also acknowledged that he initiated the exchange of insults and allowed online provocation to worsen the situation.

The rapper apologised for mocking Peruzzi’s songwriting career and early years in the music industry, adding that he had deleted the offensive posts.

N6 extended his apology to Peruzzi, his family, fans and members of the entertainment industry, promising not to repeat such claims.

Peruzzi had yet to publicly respond to N6’s apology as of the time of filing this report.
