Media mogul gets a day in court for domestic abuse. |
The G-Unit honcho is landed again in hot water.
The rapper may face some time in the iron college after he allegedly attack his former girlfriend in Los Angeles.
Great way to get The Street King Immortal out there, Mr. Curtis Jackson.
The Associated Press and Huffington Post report that he was charged this week with attacking his ex-girlfriend and trashing her Los Angeles condo, city attorney Mike Feuer said Wednesday.
The 37-year-old "In da Club" singer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was charged with domestic violence and four counts of vandalism in papers filed Monday. If convicted, he faces up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines.
A representative for Jackson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Jackson had already left when officers arrived June 23 at a Toluca Lake condo belonging to a woman who had a baby with him, police said.

Police said they estimated about $7,100 in damage to the woman's home. They observed many broken items in the ransacked and clothes-strewn condo, including chandeliers, furniture and a television.
The woman told police she had been in a three-year relationship with Jackson.
"Regardless of perceived celebrity or notoriety, domestic violence is a serious crime and alleged perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by this office," Feuer said.
The Queens-reared rapper has referenced drug-dealing and violence in many songs, and is known for having survived nine gunshots in an attempted assassination.
Jackson has also worked as an actor in recent years. He starred in an autobiographical account of his life as a drug dealer in "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
Jackson is due for arraignment July 22.
50 Cent signed to Interscope in 2002 after encouragement from Jimmy Iovine. Iovine introduced the rapper to Eminem and Dr. Dre who both produced most of his albums.
50 Cent appears on Interscope Records. He is affiliated with Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment.
