Local influencer, Dee Kosh, has apologised for an incident where he had propositioned a minor for sex, after initially denying the accusations:
Coconuts SG reported that the Power 98 DJ had earlier ‘gone on leave for work’.
Over the weekend, public accusations by minors of harassment had surfaced on social media, according to reports on The Independent and Hype & Stuff. Instagram user @_epaul reportedly was the first to have made public allegations against Dee Kosh of inappropriate behaviour through Instagram stories.

Why it matters: Dee Kosh is a DJ for Power 98 and regularly works with local powerhouse YouTube channel, Night Owl Cinematics.

One example is Eden Ang, who also faced similar allegations from women who said he had sexually harassed them. DeeKosh had called out Eden back then:
