G Herbo Charged With One Count of Misdemeanor Battery After Alleged Argument with Ex Ariana Fletcher Goes Left

It’s been nearly two weeks since G Herbo bonded out of jail after being arrested in Atlanta for allegedly assaulting his son’s mother Ariana Fletcher, and now he’s been charged for it.

TMZ reports the rapper was hit with one count of misdemeanor battery, and he could spend one year behind bars if convicted. In legal documents, prosecutors allege that Herbo left wounds on Fletcher’s arms when he scratched her, and he also dragged his ex by the hair.

But according to Fletcher, the rapper did even more than that, and she gave vivid detail in an Instagram post shortly after Herbo’s arrest.

“He kicked my door down to get in my house because I wouldn’t let him in, beat the f–k out of me front of my son then he took my son outside to his friends and had them drive off with my son,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram message.

“Hid all my knives in my house, broke my phone and locked me inside and beat the f–k out of me again,” Fletcher continued. “Dragged me outside in the concrete by my hair after his friends drove off with my son. He wrecked my whole house, broke all type of sh–. ”

Once Herbo was released, he responded to Fletcher’s claims and accused her of swiping his jewelry.

“You stole it out of my momma’s room,” he said on Instagram Live.” I’ve been quiet all this time. I ain’t do no insurance claim or try to get you locked up. Nothing. You told me to come to Atlanta to get the jewelry back.”

Since the arrest, both Fletcher and Herbo’s fans have been arguing with each other. Perhaps not surprisingly, the rapper’s fans believe his ex is lying about the assault, and Fletcher’s fans want Herbo locked up.

“stop tryna get herb locked up and move on he ion want you,” someone wrote to Herbo’s ex.

“Can’t wait til you locked up,” another person wrote to Herbo.

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.
