DJ Golden Girl of Philadelphia's Power 99 FM has sued rapper Fabolous and his entourage for allegedly assaulting her after the station's annual Powerhouse concert in 2004.
Golden Girl, whose real name Lisa Natson, is seeking $85 million in damages, alleging that she was picked up and slammed to the ground by Fabolous' bodyguard in the backstage parking area of the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.
Natson, recognized for her blonde hair, told Philadelphia's NBC 10 News last November that after she asked for a ride on the Brooklyn rapper's tour bus, his bodyguard "got really nasty."
Natson said she then joked that she would stop playing Fab's song "Breathe" on her show if she didn't get a ride, and violence erupted.
Fabolous allegedly watched as the incident unfolded, according to Natson, as a member of the rapper's posse videotaped.
The rapper denied any connection to the incident and dismissed Golden Girl's claims shortly after the altercation.
"I was on my tour bus and did not witness the alleged incident so I’m not aware of any details concerning the matter," Fabolous told AllHipHop.com shortly afterwards. "I never touched or did anything to Golden Girl, therefore, I am not involved and do not have anything further to say or do with that incident."
Speaking to the news station last year while on crutches, Natson said she injured her ankle, back and shoulder.
The DJ said she notified police and hired attorney Don Manchel after the occurrence.
"We will stop at absolutely nothing to make sure that justice is served and that she gets everything she's entitled to and at the same time that the perpetrator winds up in the clink," Manchel told NBC 10."
