Rapper Bow Wow has been arrested in Atlanta following an alleged altercation in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The hip-hop star - real name Shad Gregory Moss - was detained by cops along with a woman named as Leslie Holden just after 4am.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution , both of them claimed to have been assaulted by the other and they were both arrested when officers were unable to determine who started the alleged fight.

Both Moss, 31, and Holden were held on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and taken to Fulton County Jail.

Moss had been promoting a Super Bowl pop-up shop for his mum over the weekend before the drama took place.

The rapper rose to fame as Snoop Dogg's teenage protege and was formerly known as Lil' Bow Wow.

As well as his music career, he was also in the cast of reality TV show Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta.

Back in 2016, Moss declared he was retiring from the music industry to focus on other projects.

He has since been trying to carve out a career as an actor and TV star, as well as producing several shows for the small screen.

Moss last hit headlines back in the summer when he revealed the heart-breaking news that he'd lost a baby boy.

In August, he shared a tweet which suggested his girlfriend Kiyomi Leslie had suffered a miscarriage.

He wrote: "Don't really care. The media crucifies me. I'm the most hated. Every girl I gave my heart to it failed. My dad is a alcoholic and is now sick. I lost my son this year.

"I'm over everything. Mentally I feel detached I'm in so much pain bro…"

The baby would have been his second child after his ex-girlfriend Joie Chavis gave birth to their daughter Shai in April 2011.

He later clarified that he was still in a relationship with Kiyomi and that the "every girl" part referred to his exes.

The rapper has been dating Kiyomi since January.
