Busta Rhymes is being sued by his former assistant, Dashiel Gables, who claims the rapper assaulted him and didn’t pay him correctly throughout his time of employment. Gables is anticipated to element the accusations throughout a press convention in Brooklyn’s Columbus Park on Thursday, the place he’ll allege emotional hurt, wage theft, and bodily abuse.

The state of affairs stems from an altercation earlier this 12 months. Back in January, police questioned Busta after a reported dispute between the 2 males, although no fees have been filed on the time.

Now, months later, Gables is taking authorized motion. Busta Rhymes is denying all the pieces and says Gables is making an attempt to smear his title after being let go. In a press release to TMZ Hip Hop, Busta mentioned, “I have been made aware of the claims made by Dashiel Gables, and I completely and categorically deny these allegations. For a very brief period, Dashiel assisted me, but it did not work out. Apparently, Dashiel has decided to respond to being let go by manufacturing claims against me in an attempt to attack and damage my reputation.”

The lawsuit is rising simply as Busta Rhymes is experiencing a wave of success. He not too long ago earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, completed filming The Naked Gun reboot with Liam Neeson, and is gearing as much as launch a brand new album.

Despite the timing, Busta is standing agency. He plans to countersue, saying, “I look forward to proving these allegations false and am preparing a countersuit which I am confident will expose this for what it is, an attempted shake-down by a disgruntled former assistant. Ultimately, I am certain the truth will prevail.”

As the press convention approaches, this authorized battle is simply getting began.
