NJ rapper allegedly raped former radio show host in Brooklyn hotel: lawsuit

Key Points:

• Domonique Hayes, a former radio host, has filed a lawsuit accusing New Jersey rapper Keyon Hart, aka Snake IIz, of raping her while she was drunk and barely conscious in a Coney Island hotel room on July 4, 2025.
• Hayes alleges Hart ignored her pleas to stop during the assault, later tried to intimidate her by boasting about having a gun and claiming to be a “pimp,” and subsequently gaslighted her by denying the rape and suggesting she only regretted consensual sex.
• Hart denies the allegations, calling Hayes a liar and claiming they exchanged messages after the incident indicating consensual interest, though he has not provided these messages publicly.
• Hayes and Hart had known each other for years, initially connecting professionally in 2016, and she claims he promised music collaborations and had her model for his clothing brand without payment.
• The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, seeks unspecified damages and compensation for unpaid modeling work, though Hayes never reported the alleged assault to police.
