Oritsé, 32, has always denied the attack which reportedly took place after a concert in Wolverhampton in December 2016.
The singer's tour manager Jamien Nagadhana, 32, was also found not guilty of sexual assault and assault by penetration. The jury, of eight women and four men, deliberated for around two hours before unanimously acquitting Oritsé.
