The man accused of being a Sexyy Red manager impostor has been arrested again, this time by Hialeah police on charges of sexual battery and false imprisonment.
Vladimir Jean-Joseph, 43, is accused of assaulting a woman over Halloween weekend, according to Local 10 News. The woman, who lives in Orlando, told detectives she met him at a club in May, where he introduced himself as “the manager for rapper Sexyy Red.”
Police said the two stayed in touch. According to the arrest report, Jean-Joseph later offered the woman and her friends a free place to stay while they visited South Florida. After a night out in Miami Beach, she returned alone to his Hialeah apartment and went to sleep. Investigators said Jean-Joseph came into her bedroom without permission, and when she rejected his advances, he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
A friend took the woman to HCA Florida JFK Hospital, where medical staff completed a sexual assault exam. Detectives arrested Jean-Joseph days later on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. Jail records showed him held at the Metrowest Detention Center.
The current charges involve one woman. A second woman also alleged an assault, according to the new arrest report, but police said she had not met with detectives to give a statement.
This is the second time Jean-Joseph has been accused of using the same Sexyy Red manager story. In October 2024, he was identified as Vladimir Joseph, 41, when Miami Gardens police arrested him on charges of armed sexual battery and false imprisonment with a weapon. Police said he approached a woman after a Sexyy Red event at a South Florida strip club, called himself “Alexander Beamer” and claimed to be the rapper’s manager. Investigators said he drove her to his home, forced her to take cocaine at gunpoint and raped her. His arrest report listed him as a “promoter.”
Sexyy Red’s team shut down the manager claim at the time. “Vladimir Joseph is not her manager,” a representative for the rapper told Local 10.

Prosecutors dropped the 2024 charges two months later. The reason has not been made public, and Local 10 said it has requested records explaining the decision.
Sexyy Red is not accused of any wrongdoing in either case and has not publicly commented on the new arrest. Jean-Joseph was already out on bond in a separate case involving allegations of resisting arrest and battery on a law enforcement officer when the latest charges were filed.
