It seems like Lil Xan, arguably one of the most successful SoundCloud rappers of all time, is severely lacking in good news. Whether it’s the dramatic ups and downs of his various high-profile relationships (from YouTuber Tana Mongeau to Miley Cyrus’ little sister Noah) or his noteworthy off-stage antics, Lil Xan attracts bad headlines like a moth to the flame.
This time, though, Xan is fighting back against one that he says is untrue.
Recently, images surfaced on the Internet of an interaction between Xan and a young woman.

Most sources identified the woman in the pictures as “a fan,” and go on to describe how in the photos, it appears that Xan hugs the young woman, and then moves his hands down to grab her butt. The woman then appears to remove Xan’s hands from her body.
Headlines immediately began circulating that Lil Xan had groped a female fan who had gone in for a hug.

Lil Xan took to his Instagram to defend himself against these allegations in a heated video . “Are you guys [expletive] serious?” He begins the video.
“You think that’s a fan?! Y’all saying I’m molesting a fan?”

“That’s a girl I’m talking to,” he explains. In the caption of the post, he wrote, “The girl is @dani_toorish a girl I’m talking to you dummys lol, y’all just wanna see me fall.”
The girl, now identified as Dani Toorish, also made a post defending Xan.

She wrote, “Stop making dumb rumors about [Lil Xan] that are so false. He’s an amazing guy and if you saw the video you can clearly tell that we are hugging.”
