Rap pioneer Melle Mel of the legendary Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five has been arrested hours after his BET Awards performance for alleged domestic violence.
The claims were made by a woman by the name of Jori Jordon, who shared a video of the arrest on her Instagram page. Accompanying the video, Jordon captioned that Melle Mel, real name Melvin Glover, had allegedly hit her in the eye and refused to help her get to the hospital.
In the video, Jordon can be seen crying and telling Melle Mel he should have taken her to the hospital. Following the incident, Melle Mel was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. He was later released after posting a $50,000 bond.
In a separate Facebook video, Jordon allegedly claimed that the rapper hit her in the left eye that was previously “injured” a month ago after she was hit by a car door and required surgery. She said she was in his hotel room having drinks and suggested the two become intimate when Melle Mel allegedly hit her in the eye.
However, Melle Mel denies her claims, saying he has known Jordon for over 20 years and once lived with her. He says the two attended an afterparty together and Jordon invited herself to his hotel room. When he asked her to leave, he claims she started holding her eye and asked him to go with her to the hospital. He says he declined and encouraged her to call the police to escort her to the hospital.
Melle Mel believes that everything would have been “fine” if he just went to the hospital with Jordon. He insists that he did not punch her, and that something must have happened when he was trying to get her out of the room.
It remains unclear what exactly happened that night, but Melle Mel hopes that the truth will come to light soon.
