Lil Uzi Vert's ex-girlfriend Brittany Byrd has filed a police report last week, stating that the rapper "put a gun to her stomach and then struck her," TMZ reports.

Byrd was reportedly with SAINt JHN at Dialog Café in West Hollywood, Los Angeles for a business meeting until Uzi arrived and attempted to start an altercation after learning that the two were together. Witnesses have shared that the rapper tried to hit the "Roses" artist and missed, falling down with his gun out on the ground. He then approached Byrd, "push[ing] the gun into her stomach" and striking her.

"Uzi has been stalking Brittany since they broke up. Uzi is toxic and mentally and physically abusive. He has been for years," Byrd's manager Brianna commented. As of now, neither Uzi nor JHN have issued statements on the incident.
