A New Jersey rapper faces a civil suit alleging he sexually assaulted a former radio host in a Brooklyn hotel while she was barely conscious, claims he calls lies.
Domonique Hayes, 40, filed a complaint in Manhattan Supreme Court accusing Keyon Hart, the underground rapper known as Snake IIz, of sexually assaulting her in his Best Western room near the Coney Island boardwalk on July 4, 2025, after a night of drinking and fireworks.
The Post reported that the Sept. 11 filing says Hayes was “in and out of consciousness” and that Hart ignored her pleas to stop. Hart, 45, denied every claim when reached for comment.
Hayes never reported the alleged attack to police. She seeks unspecified damages plus pay she says she is owed for modeling work tied to Hart’s clothing brand.
According to the complaint, Hayes joined Hart and friends, including M.O.P. member Lil’ Fame, on the Coney Island boardwalk to mark the Fourth of July and Hart’s birthday.
Later that night the two went back to Hart’s nearby Best Western room. They drank. Around 1 a.m. they watched fireworks. The suit says Hayes grew woozy and felt safe resting there because Hart had previously stayed at her home in Queens.
The filing alleges Hart then pulled down her pants, forcibly kissed her, performed oral sex, and penetrated her while she drifted in and out of awareness. It quotes her telling him:
“I’m not doing that with you. Let go of my pants.”
The complaint further claims Hart had bragged about having a gun and called himself a “pimp.”
A few days later, Hayes confronted him, the suit says. Hart allegedly apologized in Instagram messages that have since been deleted, writing, “I’m sorry... the alcohol got the best of me.” The same filing says he then insisted she was not raped and only regretted sex after the fact.
Hart rejected the entire account. He told The Post:
“I deny all of it to be completely honest.”
He added, “None of its true, she’s a liar.” He also claimed Hayes later messaged him that she could only think about having sex with him. He did not provide those messages to the paper.
His lawyer, Rene Myatt, declined to comment. Hayes’s attorney, Lawrence Pearson, framed the case as part of a wider pattern.
“We stand with our client Ms. Hayes and with all women who have been abused. For far too long, men have used promises of work or success to lure women into vulnerable situations where they can exploit them sexually.”
Hayes and Hart first crossed paths in 2016, when she interviewed him about his music for her web radio show PrettygirlsXXX on BlogTalkRadio while she was based in Florida. After she moved to New York in 2019, the suit says, they reconnected and became friends.
Hart is described as a New Jersey rapper and member of M.O.P.’s “First Family” crew, with more than 70,000 Instagram followers. Hayes also alleges she modeled for his Soldi Sporchi clothing line and was never paid. The complaint asks the court for compensation on that claim as well as damages for the alleged assault.
No criminal charges are described in the reporting. The accuser’s decision to skip a police report and go straight to a civil filing leaves the core dispute to be tested in Manhattan Supreme Court, not a criminal courtroom.
Civil claims still require proof. Denials still require answers under oath. When serious accusations land without a contemporaneous police file, the public is left with competing stories and a docket number, and the demand for clear evidence only gets sharper.
