Busta Rhymes has denied allegations made by former assistant Dashiel Gables in a lawsuit accusing him of wage and hour violations, assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Rhymes stated that Gables was briefly employed and that the claims arose as retaliation after his dismissal. Gables alleges verbal abuse related to his sexuality and concerning his hearing, along with improper classification for pay, requiring extensive previous work hours for inadequate compensation. Rhymes plans to file a countersuit to refute Gables' claims, portraying the situation as a baseless attack on his character.
Busta Rhymes is rejecting claims leveled against him in a lawsuit filed this week by a former assistant, calling it an 'attempted shake-down.'
Dashiel Gables alleges that Rhymes repeatedly called him a slur related to sexuality and mocked his poor hearing, telling him to 'get a hearing aid.'
Rhymes is preparing a countersuit, confident that it will expose Gables' claims as fabricated and an attempt to damage his reputation.
In the lawsuit, Gables states he worked 15- to 18-hour shifts for a flat rate of $200 a day without receiving overtime pay.
