I said 'Sorry, I didn't mean to. We're big fans of yours.' That was the last thing I said. One of his people hit me in the face and I fell on the ground."
Lebron further described the well-built Busta leading a vicious beatdown that included kicks to the teenager's face. Photos sent to reporters showed the details of injuries to Lebron's nose and lip.
As reported on Vibe.com, Lebron filed a formal complaint with the NYPD, and Busta was arrested after a performance on Saturday for the assault. While in custody, Busta was grilled by detectives for information regarding his knowledge his bodyguard's unsolved murder, which took place during a video shoot in February.
Busta's lawyer maintains that the arrest was innapropriate for the misdemeanor charge, and was payback by the police for Busta's noncompliance with their investigation.
