A New York bouncer who had initially confessed to killing a woman during Lil Kim's birthday party at Spotlight Live nightclub last month has reportedly plead not guilty to the murder.

As reported earlier, 24-year-old Ingrid Rivera's body was found in a utiltity closet on the roof of Spotlight Live on August 6th.

Rivera had attended Lil Kim's birthday party at the nightclub two days prior to her body being found.

A day after Rivera's body was found, Sayed Rahman, a bouncer at Spotlight Live, confessed to hitting Rivera at the back of the head with a metal pipe.

Rahman told police that he attacked Rivera because she had refused his advances.

According to amNewYork, Rahman pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in Manhattan's State Supreme Court today (September 15).

Prosecutor Anne Schwartz argued that Rahman's confession of the killing was videotaped but Rahman's lawyer, Peter Frankel, said he hasn't seen the "so-called confession" and refused to comment on it
