Yung Filly: YouTuber’s famous friend Chunkz breaks silence on Instagram

The other half of Yung Filly’s successful podcast has broken his silence after the British musician was accused of raping a young woman in a Perth hotel room.

Chunkz, whose real name is Amin Mohamed, posted a brief Instagram story on Monday morning addressing the allegations.

“Yes my peoples, like everyone I’ve heard the reports coming out of Australia,” Chunkz said.

“Whilst I understand many of you want my reaction on it, as this is an ongoing court case I hope you guys can understand that I can’t and won’t be commenting on it publicly.

“So I’ve just come on here to basically let you know the reasons why I can’t.”

Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was extradited from Queensland to Perth last week to face claims that he sexually assaulted a woman hours after he performed a show at a Hillarys nightclub.

WA Police have charged the 29-year-old rapper with sexually assaulting the woman aged in her 20s on September 28 after a show at Bar1.

Barrientos has been charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and a count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.

He appeared before Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday where he was granted bail but ordered to stay in WA.

During his first appearance, prosecutor Julius Depetro described his alleged offending as “extremely serious”, with police providing photos of alleged injuries sustained by the victim to magistrate Tanya Watt.

“Across her body is a history of what we say is violent acts,” the prosecutor alleged.

When responding to each charge read out by the magistrate, Mr Barrientos replied with a “yep” before each of his responses got quieter.

Police allege they have CCTV of Mr Barrientos and a woman leaving Bar1 Nightclub after his performance on September 27, before she entered a hotel with the influencer.

The woman is then alleged to have been captured on camera leaving that same hotel on September 28, where the alleged offending occurred, the court was told.

The charges do not suggest the allegations are proven. The accused is innocent until proven guilty in court.

Mr Barrientos, will be required to report to Northbridge Police Station every day until his next court appearance on December 19.
