Kicked in the door waving the 44,
    All I heard is poppa don’t hit me no more!

Fox/ Searchlight pictures managed to keep this story under wraps. According to The New York Post, ‘Notorious’ star Jamal “Gravy” Woolard has a criminal past.

The rapper who plays Notorious B.I.G. in new biopic “Notorious” recently caught a case for beating down his wife in a domestic dispute.

court paperwork obtained by the New York Post apparently shows the new star was charged with misdemeanor assault, menacing and harassment after a domestic incident last September (08).

A source tells the publication that Woolard’s spouse, Trina Younger, phoned emergency services after the pair had an altercation when Woolard returned home late.

But Younger’s mother, who is currently living with the couple as Woolard promotes the film, is adamant there was no violence involved.

She says, “I know he wouldn’t hit her. He’s not like that. Most definitely, they have a good relationship. That’s impossible, I think it’s made up. He’s a loving husband and I never heard of anything like that before in my life.”
The couple has been married for seven months and together for five years. (link 1) (link 2)
