Rapper Dave East is in trouble with the law after a sexcapade allegedly turned violent. East was in Las Vegas when the alleged crime took place, according to TMZ.

After performing at Drai’s Nightclub over the weekend, the New York-based rapper decided to invite two women back to his room at the Delano Hotel. At some point, the women began engaging in sex with East. However, one of the women apparently became upset with East because he gave the other women more attention. She eventually began arguing with East.

She told authorities East threw five to six punches and one hit her arm. After allegedly being hit, the woman said she ran to the bathroom to call the cops.

When police arrived, East told them that the woman threw champagne bottles at him from across the room, and he was hit in the head, which caused a cut. East’s lawyer would later claim that the woman also threw a soap dispenser at his client and the rapper responded by escorting her out of the hotel room for safety purposes.

In a statement, East’s attorney, Stacy Richman, said,“The woman threw a soap dispenser and bottles of champagne at Dave. One of the bottles shattered on the wall, sending glass flying and cutting Dave.  Another bottle hit Dave with force in the head. The woman sought to continue her assault. Dave did not respond with violence. Instead Dave was concerned for everyone’s safety. Dave justifiably took the woman by the arm and put her out of the room. Dave did not assault anyone. He was ordered by his doctor to get CAT scan after the incident. We are waiting on the results. It was later learned that the woman had secreted Dave’s phones in her handbag.” 

East and the woman were not arrested following the incident.
