Lady Leshurr has denied assaulting her ex-girlfriend and another woman during an altercation in east London.
The rapper and BBC Radio 1Xtra host was charged with two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm following the incident in Leyton last month.
Appearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court today (November 21) Leshurr – real name Melesha O’Garro – denied both counts of assaulting Sidnee Hussein and Chante Boyea.
Another woman, Sherelle Smith, 28, from Yardley, Birmingham, also pleaded not guilty to one count of the same charge.
Both women were released on conditional bail, with conditions including banning any contact with the complainants, ahead of a trial at the same court on October 16, 2023, reports BBC News.
Earlier this year, Lady Leshurr hosted a reboot of Pimp My Ride UK.
She has as made numerous other TV appearances in recent years, including as a contestant on reality shows Dancing On Ice and The Celebrity Circle. She was also a team captain on ITV2 rap panel game show Donât Hate The Playaz from 2018 to 2020.
Speaking to NME last year, Leshurr said she was focusing on TV appearances because âso much has happened to me in music that itâs no longer my passion anymoreâ.
She added: âYou canât expect someone who has been doing music as long as me to still be creating all the time. Iâm just learning about my life at the moment.â
âIâm so happy doing TV stuff and Iâm so happy doing everything from the heart. The two people that inspire me when it comes to what I do in TV are Big Narstie and Big Zuu. Obviously they have âBigâ in their names, but theyâre big in TV now. Zuu has his own cooking book out and his TV show on [the TV channel] Dave.
âIâve just watched them become these stars but also still be themselves. And I always want to keep integrity in everything I do and I want to shift the culture or make history.â
