Rapper Fabolous is waiting to learn his fate regarding his March 29 arrest for the assault of his longtime girlfriend, Emily B.

The Potential Charges

Entertainment news outlet Bossip reported that the 40-year-old rapper, whose name is John Jackson, is facing some severe charges for his attack on the former Love and Hip Hop star. Fabolous is facing one count of aggravated assault in the third degree. He has also been charged with one count of making terroristic threats. Each of these charges carries a range from three to five years.

XXL Magazine stated that If Fabolous is convicted of the crime, the rapper might face 10 years in one of New Jersey's state penitentiaries. He could also be forced to pay a maximum fine of $15,000.

Emily B's Injuries

Emily B spoke to the authorities about the damages that she reportedly received from her boyfriend. The Love and Hip Hop star revealed that Fabolous allegedly punched her in the head seven times. Fabolous' punches were reportedly so severe that Emily B's two front teeth had to be medically removed. She also stated that he threatened her numerous times with a baseball bat and even a handgun. Testimony revealed that Fabolous commented that he had a bullet for both him and Emily B.

Fabolous and Emily B have two children together, 10-year-old Johan Jackson and 2-year-old Jonas Jackson. 

The March 29 Arrest

TMZ revealed that on March 29, Fabolous surrendered to authorities in his hometown of Englewood, NJ. The rapper and his legal team visited the police station, and while he did spend time inside of a jail cell, Fabolous did receive an order to appear at the courthouse, and his crimes were documented.  

Musicians And The Law

Fabolous is not the only musician facing legal trouble. Thirty-nine-year-old Frank Andrew Hoover, who stalked Taylor Swift and her family, was recently sentenced to 10 years of probation. In November 2016, Hoover violated Swift's restraining order after he followed the "You Belong To Me" singer-songwriter's motorcade during a concert in Texas. He got within 50 feet of her until her bodyguards stopped him.

Meanwhile, DMX received a one-year prison sentence after a federal judge found him guilty of tax evasion on March 28. In addition to his prison sentence, he also received three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $2.29 million to the government.

On March 19, Trey Songz turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department after a woman named Andrea Buera claimed that the singer allegedly assaulted and punched her during a party in Los Angeles. Songz was released after he paid $50,000 for bail.
