Slim Jxmmi — one half of the duo Rae Sremmurd — was arrested in Miami early Tuesday, Jan. 25, after allegedly assaulting the mother of his child during an argument at an apartment, police confirm.
Police charged Slim Jxmmi — real name Aaquil Brown — with one count of battery. The alleged victim — described as being in an “intimate relationship” with the rapper in the arrest report obtained by Rolling Stone — said the argument began when she asked Brown why he was following another woman on social media. Brown became “frustrated” and left, and was later seen at a bar that evening, according to the arrest report.
The woman said she could smell alcohol on Brown when he returned. After the couple ran out to get food, they returned to the apartment and the woman said she asked Brown to help her move their baby’s playpen, but he refused. The woman said she went to move the baby to a bed, but then Brown pulled her hair to prevent her from doing so.
“The victim’s hair extension was pulled from her scalp in the process,” the arrest report reads. “The victim then grabbed her phone to record the situation, which made [Brown] upset. [Brown] began chasing after the victim to take the phone from her but she kept running around the house to avoid him.”
Per the report, the woman did send one of the video’s from the alleged altercation to a friend via Instagram. Brown then allegedly tried to take the phone from the woman, lying on top of her while she was in the fetal position, then chasing her into another room, and allegedly “kick[ing] in the door causing a hole in the wall.” The two also struggled over the phone on a balcony, and when Brown finally got it, he allegedly threw it off to “stop her from posting the recording on social media.” The arrest report also notes the woman “sustained scratch marks on her chest” from the rapper during the altercation.
Brown was taken into custody without incident, according to the report. A lawyer for Brown was not listed on the charging documents, and a rep for Brown did not immediately return Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

There’s a high probability that Jorja Smith has new music coming this summer. The British singer revealed plans for her What Are the Odds LP on Thursday (July 2), with the album set to arrive on Aug. 21 via FAMM.
Smith reunites with producer P2J — who served as a primary collaborator on her 2023 album Falling or Flying — for the entirety of the project. J Money and P2J will continue to build on the inventive U.K. garage sound Smith has been exploring, alongside a mix of grime and house.
“This album came together really naturally. There was never a big plan; it was just me making music that felt right in the moment,” Smith tells Billboard. “Working with P2J, we started experimenting with different sounds, pulling from U.K. garage, grime and house (funky house, Afro house) and it all grew from there.”
She continues: “The music feels uplifting, but the lyrics can be a bit sad at times. They’re about growing up, love, loss, friendships and figuring things out as I go. I trusted my instincts with this one, and I think you can hear that throughout the record.”
Smith kicked off the album’s rollout in May with the self-assuring “What’s Done Is Done,” and it continues on Thursday (July 2) with a second single, “Alive,” which finds the R&B singer joining forces with Afrobeats pioneer WizKid. The duo basks in the love-drunk euphoria of the honeymoon phase of a bubbling relationship and heads to Paris for the visual.
“Making this with P2J and WizKid felt really easy,” Smith adds of the collab. “We wrote and recorded it together in London. I think we captured that feeling when you’re at the beginning of something with someone and everything feels exciting. I’ve always loved WizKid’s music and the way he’s opened so many doors for Afrobeats around the world, so it feels really special and a big honor to have a song with him.”
What Are the Odds serves as Jorja Smith’s third studio album and contains 12 tracks. Outside of WizKid, the only other feature comes from grime artist Devlin.
When the project lands on Aug. 21, Smith will hit the stage later that night at London’s All Points East, as she’ll be co-headlining the Victoria Park show with Tems. 2026 has already been a busy year for J Money, who served as a musical guest on the debut season of Saturday Night Live UK in April.
The 29-year-old also collaborated with Mobb Deep’s Havoc for a remix of her “Blue Lights” classic and lent “Price of It All” to Amazon MGM Studios’ Bait soundtrack.
