Former So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia arrives at Croydon Magistrates Court in south London
Singer Lisa Maffia, a member of Noughties UK hip hop group So Solid Crew, attacked a hairdresser in a south London salon, a court has heard.
The 41-year-old allegedly scratched Rebekah Groves’ arms during the “fracas” after attending the shop in Tulse Hill with another woman in May last year.
Croydon Magistrates’ Court heard that the pair had confronted Ms Groves over the return of hot comb hair straighteners which she had been selling on Maffia’s behalf.
James Tucker, prosecuting, said Ms Groves had been “backed into a corner” of the shop by the women who had “attempted to grab her phone” as she tried to call the police.
