Yung Berg has been arrested after a violent altercation with his girlfriend. The rapper, who stars on VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood,” was taken into custody in New York City early this morning after he allegedly beat up his girlfriend at a hotel.
He’s been charged with “obstruction of breathing,” according to reports.
Berg, born Christian Ward, was staying at the Gershwin Hotel with the woman when they got into an argument. According to TMZ, Berg allegedly grabbed her by the neck, threw her to the floor, dragged her by her hair and hit her in the face. Upon their arrival, the police reported the woman as having bruises, complaining that she was in pain.
He was immediately arrested and charged with obstructing the woman’s breathing — presumably for grabbing her neck.
The Chicago-born rapper/producer posted a photo with his “Love and Hip-Hop: Hollywood” co-star Masika Kalysha earlier this week; and the photo was captioned “Bae.” It is believed that Kaylusha was the woman involved in the alleged incident.
Berg was recently making headlines for his failure to pay child support to a different woman, Beanna McFerren. They have a 10-year old son together.
