Busta Rhymes Sued by Ex-Assistant Over Assault Claims

Busta Rhymes is facing a lawsuit from his former assistant, Dashiel Gables, who alleges physical assault, wage theft, emotional distress, and blacklisting from the music industry following a January 2025 incident allegedly sparked by Gables responding to a text from his daughter. Gables claims overwork, lack of overtime pay, and a hostile work environment, further stating that he was punched by Rhymes and then frozen out of the industry, harming his career. Rhymes has denied all allegations, calling the lawsuit a 'shake-down' and is preparing a countersuit. Police investigated the incident but did not pursue charges against Rhymes. The legal battle remains ongoing, with both parties publicly defending their positions. Meanwhile, Rhymes recently appeared in 'The Naked Gun' reboot and received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
