Earlier this year, on the same day that New York rap legend Busta Rhymes release an EP, New York police arrested him for allegedly assaulting Dashiel Gables, his assistant at the time. Now, The Guardian reports that Gables is suing Busta for assault and for creating a hostile work environment. Gables started working for Busta last year, and he says that Busta would yell and spit at him, degrade him, and force him to work 18-hour days without overtime pay. In January, Gables claims that he responded to a phone call from his daughter by texting her that he couldn’t talk right then and that Busta saw him texting and punched him in the face twice.
