Rapper Lady Leshurr has denied assaulting her ex-girlfriend and another woman in a fight in East London last month.


The Birmingham-born artist, whose real name is Melesha O’Garro, was charged with two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, accused of assaulting Sidnee Hussein and Chante Boyea in Leyton.

Appearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court, the rapper and BBC Radio 1Xtra host denied both counts.

Another woman, Sherelle Smith, 28, from Yardley, Birmingham, pleaded not guilty to one count of the same charge.

Both women were released on conditional bail, with conditions including a ban on any contact with the complainants, ahead of a trial at the same court set for 16 October next year.

Not only has Lady Leshurr hosted a weekly show on Saturdays on BBC Radio 1Xtra, but she’s reached the semi-finals of Dancing On Ice, and is also known for her Queen’s Speech series of freestyles on YouTube. Other notable performances include appearances at Glastonbury and the Proms.
