Early Groundhog Day morning, Bow Wow and his ex, Kiyomi Leslie were involved in a domestic dispute. With mugshots circulating showing Bow Wow’s scarred face, everyone is wondering what happened.
On WE TV’s Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta, the on-again-off-again couple documented their troubled relationship. However, they split up in November. During an interview with Hip Hop Weekly, Kiyomi shared the two decided to go their separate ways and she was focused on her budding career. Stating it was difficult because of how public their relationship was, Kiyomi will find it harder to put their past behind her. Saturday, they had a very public disagreement that landed the former lovers in jail.
Saturday Brawl
According to a representative for the rapper, Kiyomi is behind Bow Wow’s bruises and cuts. Shattering a lamp on his face, Kiyomi attacked Bow Wow after hearing he would be attending Super Bowl related engagements without her.
Although both parties were arrested by Fulton County officials, they aren’t facing the same charges. According to online jail records, Bow Wow was charged with battery substantial harm and Kiyomi was charged with battery. Officials said both parties were able to go before a judge to petition for signature bonds. Set at just $8,000, Bow Wow and Kiyomi were released.
Wrongful Arrest
A representative for Bow Wow released a statement to confirm several details. Disclosing the extent of his injuries, the rep said:
Shad ‘Bow Wow’ Moss was wrongfully arrested earlier this morning, for the first time, after being beaten by an out-of-control intoxicated female, Ms. Leslie Holden, in an Atlanta condominium. The only two independent witnesses both corroborated his version of events, indicating that Ms. Holden was simply out of control and was without a doubt the primary aggressor. For no logical reason, officers arrested both parties despite having clear-cut evidence that Bow Wow was the victim in the case. Ms. Holden beat him with a lamp, bit him on his side, and spit on him while Bow Wow continually made efforts to avoid her. Bow Wow suffered multiple injuries, some of which are visible in his mugshot. Ms. Holden’s mugshot, on the other hand, speaks for itself despite her allegation to police that she broke a fingernail.
Following his release from police custody, Bow Wow was seen partying. Posting pictures and several videos on his IG story, the former child star was spotted alongside Jermaine Dupri and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Kiyomi has also returned to social media, but she has not released a statement.
Deputy Inspector Emanuel Gonzalez is now under investigation following reports that he allegedly told officers to shoot 50 cent on sight during roll call.
This is how I wake up this morning, 🤷🏽♂️ This guy Emanuel Gonzales is a dirty cop abusing his POWER. The sad part is this man still has a badge and a gun. I take this threat very seriously and im consulting with my legal counsel regarding my options moving forward. pic.twitter.com/5HWk2tqYFo
On the morning of February 17th, 50 Cent took to Twitter to share news of the threat he received from the NYPD inspector. Employed at the 72nd Precinct in Sunset Park, the Deputy told officers June 7th of 2018 to shoot the rapper on sight when he was expected to attend an NYPD sanctioned boxing event.
How does a commanding officer head of Precinct regress to this point. 👀Oh he been doing shit for 30 years He a Gangsta. Emanuel Gonzalez NYPD pic.twitter.com/kWTMe5nImd
NYPD officials have now confirmed that after the Daily News report of the threat emerged, a full investigation is underway. The threat on 50 Cent’s life was made when he was expected to be in the Bronx. Astounded by the lack of corruption within for force, Curtis “50 Cent” James Jackson III plans to pursue legal action and is consulting with his team to review his options
Although the news of a threat on his life is disconcerting, 50 wants fans to remember “there are some good people working in Law Enforcement. Like the officers that reported what he said to them.” He then called Emanuel Gonzalez a “gangsta with a badge,” and questioned his employment as a commanding officer.

The attorney for Abel and Ola Osundairo had this to say about the case.
Media outlets are reporting that Jussie has now hired high-powered attorney Michael Monico if that name doesn’t ring a bell this will. Monico represented Michael Cohen who was President’s Trump’s former attorney.
Late tonight, high powered Chicago defense attorney Michael Monico confirmed to ET that he is now representing Jussie Smollett. It is unclear when Monico began representing Smollett. Monico most recently represented President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen.
Police have identified two Nigerian men as suspects in Jussie Smollett’s case. The men have been questioned in the attack on the “Empire” star and have been arrested on probable cause.
Identified as brothers, the two men have been questioned by police in Chicago following their arrival from Nigeria. The suspects were apprehended at Chicago O’Hare International Airport on Wednesday after authorities learned one of them was connected to “Empire.” Following the Chicago Police receiving and executing a search warrant, authorities are not disclosing what was found within the shared apartment.
In a statement provided to Associated Press by Anthony Guglielmi, Chief Communications Officer of the Chicago PD, there was emphasis placed on the nature of the suspects arrest. At this time, both persons have been arrested for probable cause alone.
Breaking the Silence
For the first time since the January 29th attack, Jussie Smollett has sat down for an interview. Robin Roberts of Good Morning America inquired about what happened that fateful evening and how Jussie was responding to those who doubt his claims. Jussie took the opportunity to share what happened during the attack, clear up what his assailants said while assaulting him, and added his manager was on the phone the entire time.
When it comes to what his attackers looked like, Jussie says, “I can’t tell you what color their eyes were” as their appearance was obstructed by ski masks. He provided a body description to officers and noted that he only saw them completely as they were running away. Robin then asked if Jussie believed the men in the photo were his attackers and he said, “I don’t have any doubt in my mind that’s them.”
