Busta Rhymes, real name Trevor Smith Jr., settled a legal dispute with his former personal assistant, Dashiel Gables. In January 2025, Smith was arrested in Brooklyn, New York, for allegedly assaulting Gables. Gables filed a federal lawsuit in August 2024, accusing Smith of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and wage violations. Smith denied all allegations and filed a countersuit accusing Gables of defamation. The cases were resolved through mediation, with a formal motion to be submitted by 1 June 2025. Terms of the settlement remain undisclosed.
