Silver Spring, Maryland rapper Monriko Clements, who goes by the artist name “King Swuice,” was arrested in Maryland and extradited to southern Florida this week on charges of human trafficking.
The victim, identified by authorities only as M.C., met Mr. Clements on dating app Tinder in May. Mr. Clements then invited M.C. to a strip club in Baltimore where he performed as King Swuice, and the two began a relationship, according to authorities.
When M.C. lost her job at Chipotle three weeks into her relationship with Mr. Clements, Mr. Clements is alleged to have suggested prostitution as a way for her to make money and provide for her children, according to an arrest warrant reviewed by the Miami Herald.
