YK Osiris has issued an apology for his conduct after an incident in which he forcefully kissed TV personality Sukihana.
Sukihana, who was born Destiny Lanette Henderson, was recently sitting at a table during an event for the The Crew League.
Footage shows rapper YK Osiris, 24, rubbing her shoulders from behind before going in for a kiss, which she successfully avoids.
Sukihana, 31, can be heard to say 'oh my' into the mic before YK Osiris - whose real name is Osiris Jahkail Williams - went in for another kiss as he still has a hold of her shoulders.

However, she posted on Twitter after the incident, saying: "I stopped drinking yesterday but today I've been crying all day. I asked God to strengthen me and use me to help others and to order my steps in his word. I just want to go away for a while."
She later went back onto Twitter, writing: "I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself."
