In 2018, the couple had a domestic violence incident that was captured on film. Reportedly, the GRAMMY-nominated rapper hit Bustamante in the face multiple times knocking out her two front teeth. He was later charged with one count of domestic violence with significant bodily injury, two counts of threatening to kill, and one count of possession of a weapon.

Fabolous, born John Jackson, was ultimately placed in a pre-trial intervention program which required him to check in with courts on a monthly basis. He completed the program without further incident.
After the domestic violence charge, the couple separated for a while but ultimately reunited.
In addition to their new baby girl, they have two sons together, and Bustamante has an older daughter from a previous relationship.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Fabolous has continued to have a thriving rap career. Earlier this year, his hit single “Cold Summer” prompted fans to submit their own verses over the instrumental produced by araabMUZIK & Motif Alumni.

The #ColdSummerChallenge had fans sending in their versions of the song which was featured on his Summertime Shootout 3 Coldest Summer Ever project. Multiple fans submitted verses, including comedian Kevin Hart.
Fabolous told fans he wanted to see them share their “quarantine creativity,” since he was unable to tour to support the project due to the coronavirus pandemic. To participate in the challenge, fans could drop a freestyle, dance, create artwork/graphic, or fashion piece inspired by the song.
