Rapper Busta Ryhmes was busted again. This time, he’s charged with beating up one of his drivers. Rhymes, 34, turned himself in Wednesday night and was booked on a misdemeanor assault charge at a Manhattan police station. Wearing a red, long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Rymes was led out of the station late Wednesday. He’s due in court in lower Manhattan Thursday. The rap star, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was charged with assaulting one of his limo drivers in a dispute over 19 days of pay the driver says he was owed. The man told police that Rhymes had punched and kicked him numerous times in a confrontation outside a lower Manhattan building on Dec. 26. This is the latest legal problem for the rapper. Last August, Rhymes was charged with assaulting a man who spit on his car after a Randall’s Island concert. Police have also sought to question Rhymes as a potential witness in the shooting death of his bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, last February — a case that’s still unsolved.

Why do all these celebs think they can get away without paying people. I am proud of that limo driver for actually going to the police.
