Busta Rhymes has been officially charged with assault and battery charges having come to blows with a fan during a performance in a Massachusetts late last year. Busta, aka Trevor Smith Jr, took to the stage at Jake's Twin Saloons in Fall River for an impromptu set. The incident started when a groupie, Celine Giguere, tried to "get too close". Speaking to the New York Post Mark Mechan, the fan's lawyer, said "Rhymes grabbed Giguere, shoved her against a table and growled, 'If you ever touch me again, I will fucking kill you'."
In a statement, Rhymes' lawyer said that Giguere's allegations are false, suggesting that the fan is looking for a quick buck. Giguere was also hit with assault and battery charges for her part in the scene and she will also be appearing in court on her own charges soon.
