Rapper Rick Ross has been arrested in Miami Beach on two domestic violence-related battery charges.
Jail records show the 50-year-old rapper, whose real name is William Roberts, faces charges including battery by strangulation. He was booked Thursday morning and granted a $5,000 bond.
According to police, the charges stem from an alleged August incident involving a woman who was in a relationship with Ross. She has accused him of repeatedly hitting and choking her during an argument.
Ross’s attorney denies the allegations and maintains that the rapper is innocent. He is scheduled to be arraigned on October 22.
