Somali-Canadian rapper K'naan, known for his song "Wavin' Flag," has been charged with sexual assault stemming from an incident in Quebec City in July 2010. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp reported that a preliminary inquiry is scheduled for April 2025. K'naan, whose real name is Keinan Abdi Warsame, is seeking a trial in English before a jury. This news comes shortly after he received an award from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada for his musical contributions.
