Yung Berg has been fired from VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Hollywood following his alleged attack on his co-star and girlfriend Masika Tucker, the network confirms. Due to the “severity of the allegations” stemming from Yung Berg’s arrest for domestic assault after a confrontation with Tucker, VH1 wants no more of him. The reality star (a.k.a. Christian Ward, a.k.a. Hitmaka) was arrested early Wednesday, and charged with criminal obstruction of breathing, a misdemeanor. If convicted, he would face a maximum punishment of one year in jail. Police responded to a 911 call from the Gershwin Hotel in Manhattan saying that the rapper’s girlfriend, who also goes by Masika Kalysha, got attacked. Witnesses say the 29-year-old Yung Berg grabbed Masika by her neck, threw her to the ground, dragged her by the hair and punched her in the face. The cable network said in a statement releasing the star: “Based on the severity of the allegations against Yung Berg, VH1 is terminating its relationship with him in connection with Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.” “Yung Berg was arrested on November 5th and charged with criminal obstruction of breathing in connection with an assault on fellow cast member Masika Tucker.” “The arrest took place in a New York hotel several hours after the taping of the reunion special for Love & Hip Hop Hollywood had wrapped.” Berg’s termination takes place “effective immediately.” Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Cast Photos 1.

Whether she stays with him or not remains to be seen. Yung Berg, who hails from Chicago, is also a producer and has worked with artists like TLC, Fifth Harmony, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Nicki Minaj.
