Atlanta-based rapper Da Brat was arrested today (November 1) after allegedly striking a waitress in the head with a rum bottle.

The ruckus supposedly happened around 1:20 a.m. this morning at Jermaine Dupri's club, Studio 72, on Lawrenceville Highway, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Dekalb County police spokeswoman Mekka Parish confirmed that the 33-year-old rapper (born Shawntae Harris) was involved in an "altercation involving pushing" with a server at the club.

"According to witnesses, after the pushing, the waitress walked away, and a short time later, that's when Da Brat picked up a bottle and hit the waitress in the face with it," Parish said.

Parish said the rum bottle broke as Brat struck the woman, causing a "deep laceration" to the 23-year-old waitress' cheek. She also suffered swelling to her forehead, and friends took her to a local hospital.

The rapper was arrested at the club, charged with felony aggravated assault, and is currently in custody awaiting her initial appearance which will take place within 72 hours from the arrest time.

Apparently, Brat has a bit of a history of violence in the A.

The rapper was previously charged with felony aggravated assault for allegedly pistol-whipping someone at the Chili Pepper nightclub in Buckhead. Cops said she beat the woman for sitting in the VIP lounge and not leaving when Brat told her to. The victim suffered a cut on her face that required three stitches. Brat pled guilty to get the charge reduced to misdemeanor reckless conduct. She had to pay $1,000, serve 80 hours of community service and was on probation for a year.

Da Brat made a name for herself with the hit single "Funkdafied" on Jermaine Dupri's imprint, So So Def in the '90s. She has also appeared on reality shows, "Celebrity Fit Club" and "The Surreal Life."

Now, that sounds very vicious

N*****

That's sooooo gangsta

Time for some "away time"

They need 2 send her monkey ass 2 jail. Time 4 her 2 do a reality tv show from the pen.

Harvey from Celebrity Fit Club would not be pleased.

Tragic she would resort to that especially if she wasn't physically
threatened. She is 33 years old now. She isn't 20 anymore.

Why she aint in the studio?????!!!

What's with all the racist remarks here?

nobody is being any more racist than stating the FACTs ..*like on a recent Kid Rock thread where everyone agreed that he was pretty much Straight Up White Trash !..thats not being Racist..thats living.. and having a brain and eyes.

Shit hoppers have so much class.

Exactly. There's a big difference in a "nigger" and a black person. Actually, they aren't even the same thing. I can't remember who it was that told me this a long time ago when I was growing up, but someone told me that the definition for the word "nigger" before slavery days was an "ignorant person". If that's the case, "niggers" come in all races and I have encountered more white "niggers" in my lifetime than black ones.

although someone had to take a bottle out of my hand once because I was about to smash it over some drunk chicks head because she kept bumping into me.

This shit is ridiculous The Brat needs to calm the hell down and why is the N-word just being thrown around up in here?

seriously,have you noticed that the artists with no careers anymore (Kid Rock,Foxy Brown,Da Brat,etc) are only in the news these days for beating people up? It makes you wonder if they're pulling these "stunts" just to get some media attention Da Brat is fun to watch on the reality shows,but really...when was the last time she had a hit record?
