Fabolous accused of knocking out longtime girlfriend's teeth as video emerges of him screaming at her

Hip hop artist Fabolous is accused of punching the mother of his children repeatedly in the face, knocking out two of her teeth — and was caught on video screaming at her and hurling threats at her father.

Court documents obtained by NorthJersey.com accuse Fabolous — who was arrested on domestic violence charges this week in Englewood, N.J. — of hitting a woman seven times, resulting in “severe damage to her two front teeth,” which she ended up losing.

The report does not reveal the woman’s identity, but TMZ reported earlier this week that reality star Emily Bustamante, the rapper’s longtime on-and-off girlfriend, is the alleged victim in his arrest.

Video of Fabolous in a shouting match with Bustamante and her father outside their home, meanwhile, was published online Saturday by TMZ. The footage, which was filmed Wednesday, shows the rapper telling Bustamante’s father he has a bullet with his “name on it.”

Fabolous’ lawyer, Alberto Ebanks, downplayed the contents of the video as “only an argument.”

“There certainly is no crime being committed,: he told TMZ. “If what you see in the video were a crime, we’d have to build more jails.”

Bustamante told police that Fabolous — real name John Jackson — threatened her through text messages on March 7, saying he wished to strike her with a baseball bat, according to a police affidavit for probable cause obtained by NorthJersey.com.

The rapper also allegedly told her he’d kill her, but added that he “did not want to go out like that.”

She told cops she feared Fabolous, 40, would turn violent toward her, and she asked her father to remove two firearms from the rapper’s home. Fabolous ultimately confronted her, her father and her brother when he couldn’t find the weapons, according to the court documents, which seemed to be the incident captured in the TMZ video.

“When he could not locate the guns, the defendant left the house, but not before informing the victim, her father and her brother that he had a bullet for them,” the documents read, according to NorthJersey.com.

Fabolous was charged with third-degree aggravated assault and third-degree terroristic threats on Wednesday after he turned himself in to police.

Ebanks told Billboard a day after the arrest, “I’ve known Fab close to 20 years and believe he is incapable of engaging in the alleged conduct.”

Fabolous, who was born in Brooklyn, and Bustamante have two sons together: 10-year-old Johan and 2-year-old Jonas. Bustamante, who also goes by Emily B, is best known for her role on the reality show “Love & Hip Hop” from 2011 to 2012.
