Trouble looms for rapper, Fabolous as he is facing charges of third-degree aggravated assault and third-degree terroristic threats after he purportedly attacked his long-time girlfriend Emily Bustamante (aka Emily B).
Fabolous turned himself in to the Englewood Police Department in New Jersey and was engaged on two felonies.
The entertainer didn’t spend time in jail, but was cited for the charges and given a notice for his court appearance, TMZ reports.
The charges stem from an alleged happening on March 7, when Jackson was in Los Angeles on a business trip.
Court papers said Jackson “became enraged” when he found out via Instagram that Bustamante, best known for her work on the VH1 reality show “Love and Hip Hop: New York,” was in the same city.
Bustamante told police that the rapper sent a text message while she was flying back from LA, telling her he wanted to hit her in the head with a baseball bat. He allegedly told her that he would kill her but he “did not want to go out like that,” according to NorthJersey.com.
Jackson allegedly later punched Bustamante seven times in the face, “causing severe damage to her two front teeth,” which she ended up losing, according to court documents.
Bustamante and Jackson have two children together and have dated since 2002.
The entertainer’s attorney, Alberto Ebanks, told Billboard the charges are out of character.
“I’ve known Fab close to 20 years and believe he is incapable of engaging in the alleged conduct,” Ebanks said.
According to BOSSIP, the “Throw It In The Bag” rapper could face three to five years in state prison along with up to $15,000 in fines for the aggravated assault charge alone, if he’s convicted.
Fabolous will be back in court later this month for the ongoing case.
