B.o.B Sued for Allegedly Sexually Assaulting Woman in Hotel Room

UPDATE (Nov. 12):

B.o.B's attorney, Leron E. Rogers of Fox Rothschild LLP, has released the following statement to XXL regarding the recent sexual assault lawsuit filed against the rapper.

"Our client, Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., known professionally as B.o.B, categorically denies the false allegations contained in the Complaint filed. This filing appears to be a calculated attempt to leverage publicity and extract a financial settlement from a public figure — a baseless 'money grab' under the pretense of litigation. Mr. Simmons will not be intimidated or coerced by such tactics, nor will he remain silent while his name and reputation are unfairly attacked.

In the Complaint, the Plaintiff identifies herself as a wife and mother. We believe the allegations are a fabricated narrative and the plaintiff is using B.o.B as a scapegoat to explain her whereabouts to her husband on the date in question and designed to deflect personal consequences unrelated to our client. Fabricating accusations of this nature is both irresponsible and harmful. Mr. Simmons recognizes that true victims of sexual assault deserve to be heard and supported, and false claims only undermine their pursuit of justice.

Out of respect for the individuals involved and for the integrity of the legal process, we will have no further comment at this time."

ORIGINAL STORY (Nov. 11):

B.o.B is facing a new lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by the rapper during an after-party in a hotel room in California earlier this year.

The woman filed the complaint against the Atlanta rapper on Nov. 7, according to records obtained by XXL on Tuesday (Nov. 11). CBS 8 reports the woman, a Texas native, claims she and her cousin went to see Bobby Ray perform at the Tequila & Taco Music Festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego in April of 2025. During the show, B.o.B invited the woman on stage to dance to the Ying Yang Twins' "Whistle While You Twerk." Afterward, his manager approached the woman and invited her to an after-party, the complaint states.

The woman and her cousin arrived at the Westin Hotel in downtown San Diego around 3 a.m., where they were escorted by the manager to a suite. The women were allegedly offered drugs but refused. When the woman's cousin left the room to go get a jacket, B.o.B began kissing and groping the woman and tried to spread her legs, she claims.

The complaint alleges he was interrupted briefly when his wife entered the room and the rapper yelled at her to leave. B.o.B allegedly continued to grope the woman and fondle her genitals until his manager knocked on the door. The woman used the opportunity to escape. She found her cousin in the lobby and left.
