Slowthai – real name Tyron Kaymone Frampton – has been accused of isolating fans after instigating a “no phones and no boys” rule.
Frampton, 29, and co-accused Alex Blake-Walker, 27, then allegedly raped the couple before high-fiving each other.
The couple has now been acquitted of three counts of raping two women.
Blake-Walker was also found not guilty of one count of sexual assault after ten hours of jury deliberations.
Frampton burst into tears as the verdict was handed down, while wife Anne-Marie breathed a sigh of relief.
The trial at Oxford Crown Court heard that Frampton had performed at The Bullingdon Music Hall in Oxford on September 7, 2021.
The alleged attacks were said to have taken place later at a party after the concert.
The women joined the rapper and his friend on a tour bus before heading to the party, the court heard.
When he arrived, Frampton led the two women away from their friends while his entourage turned up the music to block out any sound from the roof, jurors were told.
The court was told that both women were allegedly raped at the same time as he and Blake-Walker discussed “swapping girlfriends”.
Jurors heard the alleged ordeal only ended when Frampton and Blake-Walker were interrupted.
Frampton, who was supported by his wife Anne-Marie during the trial, jumped from the roof into the garden below.
He and Blake-Walker agreed that the sexual activity took place with two women, but the couple insisted it was consensual.
They dropped three joint rape charges against the two women.
Frampton arrived on the music scene in 2019 with the album Nothing Great About Britain.
It was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
The rapper married Anne-Marie in Las Vegas in July 2022, and the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, earlier this year.
