Houston rapper Z-Ro, whose legal name is Joseph McVey, has been arrested in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident from April, according to court documents and TMZ. The news comes as his girlfriend, rapper Just Brittany, makes her reality TV debut on VH1’s new series Signed.
Court documents say Just Brittany told authorities over the weekend that Z-Ro assaulted her on April 29 after an argument over canceled dinner plans. The documents allege the attack went on for about an hour and a half. She reportedly gave police a 21 minute audio recording of part of the incident as evidence.
According to reports, the recording picks up part of the alleged altercation, and she told investigators she feared for her life. Police passed the information to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, which decided there was enough to arrest the 40 year old rapper and charge him with felony aggravated assault.
He is reportedly being held without bond. Z-Ro had not publicly responded to the accusation at the time of this post. An arrest and charge are not a conviction, and the case is still in its early stages.
