Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jxmmi Arrested In Miami After Fight With Girlfriend

Slim Jxmmi, a rapper from the duo Rae Sremmurd with Swae Lee, was arrested Tuesday on a battery charge after an altercation with his girlfriend in Miami. It allegedly began when his girlfriend questioned the “Black Beatles” rapper about a woman he followed on Twitter Tuesday morning.

According to the police, she told them Jxmmi left the house after an argument ensued, and later returned smelling like alcohol. Cops then claim Jxmmi first attacked his girlfriend when she tried to move their child, pulling her hair and ripping out extensions.

When she tried to film him with her phone, she said Jxmmi was further enraged, chasing her around their house and kicking a door down when she attempted to shut herself in. He then allegedly threw her phone from a balcony to dispose of the video, and cops say they later recovered the undamaged phone at the scene when responding to the call.

Jxmmi was booked in the Turner Guildford Knight Correctional Center in Miami around 11 a.m. Tuesday, and he was issued a $1,500 bond. It isn’t clear whether the rapper has been released from jail yet.

Jxmmi’s girlfriend later criticized the Police Department’s recounting of events in a statement posted to Instagram. “Dade Country y’all are wrong for this,” she began the message, “I told you guys he did not hit me … It was a loud argument and the police were called. You guys turned nothing into something. It’s our son’s first birthday tomorrow, what’s wrong with y’all?”
