Busta Rhymes is being sued by a Los Angeles woman who claims the rapper threw a glass at her at a restaurant in Beverly Hills this summer.

Devin Cooper and another person were patrons at the Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills in June, where they were seated at a table next to Busta (real name: Trevor Smith).

She then claims a woman sitting next to the rapper, whom he said was his sister, began yelling at her that she was “too close to their table”. So to avoid conflict, Cooper says she attempted to reposition her chair.

When the Busta’s sister entourage continued to make comments, Cooper claims she asked her to please calm down. That’s when Rhymes allegedly began yelling at Cooper, “that’s my sister, that’s my blood!”

In the lawsuit, Cooper claims she tried to carry on with her dinner and ignore Rhymes increasingly threatening conduct, but claims Rhymes threw a drinking glass at her, missing her by mere inches.

Cooper says she was “shocked and afraid for her safety” and both she and her companion left the restaurant.

Cooper is suing for assault and battery, and is seeking $250,000 in damages.

Busta Rhymes was ordered to pay an Albany man that accused him of a 2003 assault $75,000 on Wednesday.

According to the New York Post, Alex Duncan claimed to have suffered not only physical injuries, but psychological ones as well. The victim describes nightmares and other psychological effects following the events of the Sept. 13, 2003 alteraction.

Duncan alleged that the Brooklyn rapper poured water on him and punched him in the face during a break at a concert in SUNY Albany.

“I wanted something to come out of it,” said Duncan, regarding the case’s outcome. “I don’t even go to parties anymore, because there’s always someone asking, ‘What happened to that Busta Rhymes case?’ ”

Busta’s lawyer, Robert Kalina, was not present at the trial or yesterday’s hearing, and has not offered comment on the case.
