Rapper Cucha has opened up about her decision to leave the YouTube rap platform Pen Game, saying she felt unprotected and unsupported after months of alleged harassment from a fellow cast member.

In a statement shared on her verified Instagram page, Cucha explained that her departure followed what she described as “ongoing issues” with co-star Kandi. She claimed that his behaviour toward her had made the environment difficult and that management failed to step in to protect her despite knowing what was going on.

“I’ve left Pen Game due to the events that have taken place over the last few months,” she wrote. “They claimed they kicked off Ginga Jay to protect black women, yet left Kandi on the platform while defending his actions, which were harmful to women of colour as well as women in general.”

Her post quickly drew attention online, with many fans expressing their support and disappointment that the situation had escalated to this point. Some viewers said they had noticed tension on the show in previous episodes, while others praised Cucha for speaking out about her experience.

Cucha also claimed that the behaviour she endured lasted for more than eight months, saying that she had repeatedly raised concerns about feeling uncomfortable. She said the platform’s management failed to take her complaints seriously, even though they had previously taken action against another cast member for similar behaviour.

She said she felt her safety and comfort had not been taken seriously, and that she had remained silent for a long time in hopes of handling the matter privately and professionally.

The rapper, who built a loyal fan base through her appearances on the show, has since received messages of encouragement from other artists and supporters across social media. Many have praised her for standing up for herself and highlighting what women in entertainment sometimes Facepalm behind the scenes.

Cucha’s decision to leave marks another moment in the ongoing discussion about accountability in creative spaces. Her post has encouraged wider conversation about how platforms should handle reports of misconduct, especially when it involves women of colour who often face additional barriers when raising concerns.

Since sharing her story, Cucha has continued to interact with fans online, thanking those who have shown her love and understanding. “I just want peace,” she said in a follow-up comment. “It’s been a long time coming, and I’m finally choosing myself.”

Though Pen Game has not publicly commented on her departure, Cucha’s message has clearly resonated with many viewers and fellow artists who say they want to see safer and more respectful environments within the entertainment industry.

Her decision to speak out adds to a growing wave of women in music and media demanding accountability and transparency from those in charge. While the situation has raised serious questions about how such matters are handled, many see her openness as a powerful step toward change.
