Rap legend Busta Rhymes is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after turning himself into authorities following an alleged physical altercation with his assistant. The hip-hop icon, known for hits like “Touch It,” is now facing multiple charges, including third-degree assault, attempted assault, and harassment, sources reveal.
According to law enforcement, the incident unfolded last Friday morning in Brooklyn around 10 a.m. A heated verbal dispute between Busta and his 50-year-old assistant reportedly spiraled into violence. During the altercation, Busta is accused of punching the man on the left side of his face.
After the alleged assault, Busta reportedly fled the scene, leaving his assistant to call 911. Paramedics and police arrived shortly after, transporting the injured man to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Days after the incident, Busta voluntarily surrendered to police on Tuesday. He was issued a desk appearance ticket, meaning he’ll need to appear in court to address the charges. While the rapper’s legal troubles are mounting, his team has yet to release an official statement on the matter.
Busta Rhymes’ alleged actions have left fans and the hip-hop community buzzing, with many wondering how this legal battle might impact his career. As of now, the iconic artist is preparing to face the charges in court.
