Rapper Faces Assault Charges For Allegedly Attacking Masika Tucker Former Love & Hip Hop Hollywood star Yung Berg has been offered a deal in his assault case involving ex-girlfriend Masika Tucker. Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office offered Berg the chance to plead guilty to harassment, which is a violation, not a crime, for his alleged assault on Tucker last year. Berg would also have to attend batterer’s intervention program in New York or Los Angeles. The rapper is currently facing assault, attempted assault and harassment charges for the alleged beat down. The NYPD arrested him last November for allegedly throttling Tucker in their hotel room after his credit card was declined. The reality show’s producers fired him days later. Berg’s lawyer Xavier Donaldson said he’d be interested in resolving the case, but only if prosecutors dropped the assault charges. Berg – aka Hitmaka – did not appear during Thursday’s brief hearing, but is due in court later this week. The judge also extended an order of protection between Berg and Tucker until February 2016.
Just like last week, or any week really, Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Season 1 Episode 12 focused heavily on “Matters of the Heart” as well as matters of music. In the case of Nia Riley, she was in a terrible car accident, but that alarming event was what ultimately ended up bringing her back together with Soulja Boy. He didn’t know how much he needed her until he almost lost her. Would his co-stars also gain perspective like this in what was an emotional installment? On the latest installment of the VH1 reality (term used loosely) drama, Kim Kardashian sex tape co-star Ray J sat Princess Love down to talk about their relationship. Specifically, the gossip that always surrounds their relationship. NOTE TO RAY : Next time, don’t even say the name Teairra. While mentioning her almost led to a physical altercation with Princess, Ray knew when to back off. Teairra can’t say the same always with her temper. Her last performance sucked, as you know if you watch Love and Hip Hop Hollywood online , and even she can admit that. So the pressure is on now. Not only does she have to prove she can sing under duress, but Yung Berg has stuck his neck out for her, and his reputation is on the line here as well. Speaking of Yung Berg, who got fired from the show for beating the crap out of Masika Tucker, he apparently wants to invite Ray J to Teairra’s showcase. Berg knows the drama between them will create buzz and generate sales, but he has his own drama as well, and that he tries to keep at arm’s length. Masika used to be the one Hazel would turn to if she had a problem with Berg in their romance. Then Berg started putting it Masika six ways from Tuesday. Now Masika’s saying Berg never really dated Hazel? GURL PLEASE . Who do you think you’re fooling? It’s not entirely foreign territory, of course. What Masika did to Hazel, she did to Nikki. So Hazel and Nikki meet up to hate on Masika. Classic VH1. Hazel wanted to know if Masika used her. Nikki confirms via her own “research” that Masika simply loves to glom on to wealthy and/or talented men. It’s her M.O., and she works it to a T baby. In the end, Nikki was able to move past Masika, and while Fizz still has issues to work out with his son’s mother, he seems excited about Nikki too. Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Cast Photos 1.

He actually reflected on how good he had it with her, and how Princess by contrast had so bitterly betrayed him. Loyalty. Like Soulja, Ray didn’t realize how important it was, or what a good position he was actually in, until a belated wake up call he never saw coming. When Ray apologized, it was moving. When Teairra Mari cut him off to kiss him, it was equally powerful. It’s not clear what future these two have. But it was pure magic to watch on screen. Simply sublime.
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.

Masika has reportedly come to her man’s defense, blaming it on alcohol and an incident in which his credit card was turned down after the reunion show. 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. You can watch Love & Hip Hop Hollywood online to more of Berg, Masika, Teairra, Ray J, Princess, Morgan, Soulja Boy, Omarion, Hazel E and Mally Mall. There’s a pretty good chance there will be fights when you catch up on past episodes, as stuff certainly gets heated … but nothing like this altercation.
