Busta Rhymes is back in the news today after a physical confrontation led to his arrest for simple assault yesterday in Manhattan.

The Conglomerate general was arrested and charged for throwing a 17 oz. cardboard container of strawberry protein shake at a gym employee who refused to allow a cameraman to film Busta’s workout routine. Things between Rhymes and the employee escalated to higher tension at the Steel Gym in the Chelsea area of Manhattan after Busta threw a protein shake that hit the employee in the head, in which he decided to press charges on the Long Island rapper. Busta was arrested around 8:30 p.m. No further information has been released to the public yet. Busta’s lawyer expressed that he is extremely confident that his client will beat the second-degree assault charge.
