Shaquille O’Neal’s Name is Reportedly Being Added to the Domestic Fight Between Bow Wow and Kiyomi Leslie

More information has surfaced about Bow Wow‘s arrest over Super Bowl weekend.

As reported, the rapper and his on-again-off-again girlfriend Kiyomi Leslie were arrested and taken to an Atlanta jail in the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 2.

An officer said when he arrived at 205 12th Street at 4:15 a.m. and spoke with Bow and Leslie, he saw that both “sustained visible minor injuries.” The rapper told police that Leslie threw a nightstand lamp at him and scratched up his face.

According to Leslie, Bow Wow hit her in the head, grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into the bedroom. And since police couldn’t determine who the aggressor was, they took both to jail and charged them with misdemeanor battery.

From there, each posted $8,000 bond on the same day, and the former “106 & Park” star host was seen partying with Jermaine Dupri and Sean “Diddy” Combs at a Super Bowl Party on Sunday.

But according to a police report obtained by Atlanta Black Star, it was at another party that Bow went to that got him and Leslie in trouble, and a man named Shaquille was there — who some believe was the NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

That’s because O’Neal threw a Super Bowl party on Friday night in Atlanta called “Shaq’s Fun House,” and Bow Wow and Leslie were reportedly in attendance.

“Mr. Moss [Bow Wow] stated that Ms. Holden [Leslie] was all over another man’s body in the party. A man Mr. Moss referred to as Shaquille,” the report read. “Mr. Moss stated that he felt very disrespected by her behavior, that the argument became heated, that Ms. Holden started yelling loudly and calling him “bitch-ass n—–. “

Shaq has remained quiet about all of this and so has Bow Wow and Leslie.

Much of the couple’s troubled romance has been seen on the reality series “Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta,” where two of the rapper’s recent meltdowns have also been documented.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
