Busta Rhymes Breaks Silence After Being Accused of Assault by Ex-Assistant
The hip-hop world is buzzing with controversy after legendary rapper Busta Rhymes was sued by his former assistant, Dashiel Gales, over shocking allegations of physical abuse, unpaid overtime, and verbal harassment.
In the official lawsuit filed this week, Gales accuses Busta of punching him in the face, making threatening comments, and forcing him to work long, unpaid hours with little to no breaks. The allegations paint a disturbing picture of life behind the scenes with one of rap’s most recognizable voices.
“He began screaming at me, called me a dumb motherf***er, and then struck me with a closed fist,” Gales said in the complaint.
But Busta Rhymes isn’t staying silent. His legal team released a fiery statement denying all claims, labeling the lawsuit “an attempted shake-down” and a “fabricated story built on lies.” The rapper plans to countersue for defamation and reputational damage.
“These allegations are not only false but deeply offensive,” said Rhymes’ rep. “This is nothing more than a money grab.”
