Da Brat was arrested early Thursday after a dispute at a nightclub.
Witnesses told police the 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, got into an argument with a waitress and later hit her over the head with a bottle of rum, Atlanta television station WSB reported.
Da Brat was booked into DeKalb County jail on a charge of aggravated assault, said a bonding agent at the jail.
Da Brat was the first female rapper to have a platinum-selling album. She has appeared on VH1 reality shows “Celebrity Fit Club” and “The Surreal Life.”
