As previously reported, rapper Bow Wow was arrested for allegedly beating his ex, Kiyomi Leslie. A public information officer with the Atlanta Police Department previously said that both Bow Wow, 31, and Holden claimed they were assaulted by each other. “Officers were unable to determine the primary aggressor of the altercation, so both parties were charged with battery,” read a police statement provided to PEOPLE.

The Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta star has released a statement regarding the incident via his attorney, Joe Habachy.

“Shad Bow Wow Moss was wrongfully arrested earlier this morning for the first time after being beaten by an out of control intoxicated female, Ms. Leslie Holden, in an Atlanta condominium. The only two independent witnesses both corroborated his version of events indicating that Ms. Holden was simply out of control and was without a doubt the primary aggressor.”

He also added, “For no logical reason officers arrested both parties despite having clear-cut evidence that Bow Wow was the victim in the case. Ms. Holden beat him with a lamp, bit him on his side, and spit on him while Bow Wow continually made efforts to avoid her. Bow Wow suffered multiple injuries, some of which are visible in his mugshot. Ms. Holden’s mugshot, on the other hand, speaks for itself, despite her allegation to police that she broke a fingernail.”

Habachy also stated, “Bow Wow feels very strongly that a man should never lay a hand on a woman, even in self-defense, hence his failure to defend himself here. We are confident that the charges against Bow Wow will be dismissed and look forward to assisting the Fulton County Solicitor General’s Office in prosecuting Ms. Holden.”

Bow Wow and Kiyomi Leslie were both released Saturday on an $8,000 bond.

It seems like Bow Wow has gotten over the altercation. He was spotted at Super Bowl parties with his mentor Jermaine Dupri and music mogul P. Diddy.
