Rapper Busta Rhymes received six months’ probation after pleading no contest yesterday in Fall River, Mass., to a charge that he assaulted a woman during a concert. Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor A. Smith Jr., was also ordered to pay $300 in court costs. His record will be cleared if he successfully completes the probation term.
The rapper was performing a late-night gig in Fall River in December 2002 when Celine Giguere, of Providence, R.I., allegedly reached out and touched his chin.
