Monday Night Raw: Abbas Turns His Battle Skills Physical

"I'm still single, looking for Cleopatra, African queen/look at me I'm a bachelor, ya'll guys in trouble , keeping girls behind closed doors, crossing your fingers/be lucky I haven't met yours" One of Kenya's pioneer emcee Mr. Abbas Kubaf must had taken these words by Nas off Common's new single "ghetto Dreams" a little too serious.
It was an outright crazy Monday for Abbas, the one third of the now defanct K-South flava. Abbas is said to have found himself behind bars of the five.o, after allegedly being involved in physical altercation with Trust-an up-coming artiste. It is believed that Cause of the beef was Trust's girl who Abbas is rumored to have tried to'steal' before the Monday night incident.Abass has since been charged with assault and malicious damage of property at the city pub where the incident took place.

Now, if I am to qoute Ice cubes words, hope it won’t be taken too seriously "If I act like an animal, ain't nothing to it, Gangsta rap made me do it"
