Yung Bleu has blasted recent reports about his misdemeanor battery arrest, calling the claims false while proclaiming his innocence.
The Alabama native took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (October 19), shortly after the first reports were released, and claimed that the accusations were an insidious way for The Powers That Be to keep him “in line” now that he’ll soon be in control of his masters.
“Lol the storm coming. I’m About to turn in this last album before I 100% own all my music catalog,” he wrote. “Just built my own $2M facility & started my own recording, Marketing distribution, media, and film company! All under one umbrella, Moon Boy University. So y’all [know] the storm coming.”
He continued: “The FAKE NEWS, the slander. I’ma keep going towards the end goal I got bigger goals than music! Music was just my first step. I only did it to cope with my emotions. $100M in the next 5 years! Doing something more important than myself. The plan unfolding. I did everything I said I would. One of the few that ain’t cap [about nothing].
“I’m off this internet thing but I will take the time to tell all my ladies that may be a fan of Bleu, I cherish women and I’m completely innocent. Just [know] this about to be one of toughest times to be a fan of mine because I’m about to go into another bracket as an OWNER and entrepreneur and people hate and you [know] THEY hate that.”

Arrest records obtained by HipHopDX reveal that the Alabama native (real name Jeremy Biddle) was arrested on Sunday (October 15) and charged with battery under the Family Violence Act, which is a misdemeanor charge.
He was subsequently booked in the Hall County Jail, and released just a few days later on $2,400 cash bond.
TMZ, however, has confirmed that Yung Bleu was arrested after he reportedly showed up at a residence, unannounced, to pick up his “10-year-old child.”
When the woman refused to allow the “Ice on My Baby” rapper to take the child, Bleu allegedly body-slammed the woman to the ground, causing injury to her right arm and her hip. Bleu then left with the child, but came back shortly thereafter, then left again before finally being arrested.
While it has not been confirmed, it’s being speculated that the victim was his estranged wife, Tiemeria Biddle.
The couple have been at odds with each other ever since the rapper was caught cheating earlier this year. Bleu’s wife tore into her husband on social media after learning he had flown another woman out to see him.
Soon after, Yung Bleu issued a heartfelt apology for his infidelity in hopes that he’ll regain her trust.
