Lady Leshurr, a former semi-finalist on Dancing on Ice, has been charged with two charges of actual bodily harm following an altercation that occurred early yesterday morning.
The rapper and composer, who received the British Empire Medal in 2020 for services to music and charity, was spotted being hauled away in handcuffs at 5am following a confrontation outside a house near Walthamstow, east London.
Tomorrow, Lady Leshurr, age 34, and another woman, age 28, who is accused with one count of ABH, will appear in prison at Thames Magistrates’ Court.
A Met Police representative stated that two 27-year-old women were brought to the hospital following the altercation and have subsequently been released.
According to The Sun, Lady Leshurr, whose true name is Melesha Katrina O’Garro, and two other ladies engaged in a’screaming match’ that woke up the neighborhood.
Two officers are seen on video placing handcuffs on the rapper, who is wearing a white sports bra and a baseball cap, and escorting him to a police van.
A witness stated that the Birmingham-born musician entered the vehicle of ‘one of the girls she had been arguing with… and attempted to eject her’.
Supposedly, the woman in the automobile requested her neighbors to call the police.
The witness stated, “The noise of the scuffle roused me from my sleep; you could hear the disturbance beginning.” It was quite noisy.
I’m glad the police arrived when they did since the situation could have been much worse.
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told MailOnline: In Leyton, two women have been charged with assault.
“On Saturday, October 22, Melesha O’Garro, 34, was charged with two charges of ABH on Knotts Green Road, E10.”
“On Saturday, October 22, Sherelle Smith, age 28, was charged with one count of ABH in Knotts Green Road, E10.”
“Both will appear in detention at the Thames Magistrates’ Court on October 24.
‘The two ladies were charged after police were called to Knotts Green Mews, E10 at 05:08 on Saturday, October 22 in response to complaints of a brawl at the location.
Two 27-year-old women were transported to the hospital. They have been released since then.
Lady Leshurr is well-known for her Queen’s Speech series of freestyles, of which the fifth was hailed as “excellent” and “2015’s crowning freestyle” by the music publication Spin.
Since December 2020, Lady Leshurr has been a host on BBC Radio 1Xtra. She also featured on the thirteenth season of Dancing On Ice with partner Brendyn Hatfield, placing fourth.
She also won The Celebrity Circle for Stand Up To Cancer and has appeared on the ITV show Loose Women as a guest panelist.
