Former Def Jam artist, Lady Sovereign was jailed in Australia this past weekend, after spitting at a nightclub doorman. The UK grime rapper and self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game" arrived in Australia to perform five dates on the Parklife festival tour, but she apparently only got so far as a Brisbane gay club before getting extremely intoxicated, and hocking a loogie in a nightclub doorman's face.
The reportedly hysterical young MC was then hauled off to jail for the night. She was released the following day, and, after pleading guilty to assault and disorderly conduct, fined $400 Australian by the court and forced to pay $200 to the doorman. The judge then scolded her about the "serious health implications" of spitting in public.
Following her court appearance, Lady Sov was happily able to appear at the festival as well, after which she tweeted, "Brisbane police need to go catch some real criminals ... What a waste...Spitting in someone's face is nasty, but how about a guy dressed up as a girl running at you in the toilets and punching you in the head? Yes, that's what happened prior to the spitting. So everyone please stop calling me nasty."
She later explained that "If you was there you would understand...The transvestite must have been a regular because I didn't see no one dragging his a-- out of the club that night."
Otherwise, Sov says she is "enjoying Australia." Her next spot on the five-city electronic music tour is Perth. Doormen, guard your grills.

Well spitting is assault so she really got off easy! If she did it in the States they would have locked her ass up, set bail, if any at $50,000, and the fine would be non-existent since the prosecuters love the kill in jail, The US really hates its own people and the laws are so harsh that it is impossible for those in other countries to understand the judicial system in the US. I still hate rap and believe that the punishment should be given to all rappers for being "talentless and inept" in the musical profession. I didn't play guitar for 30 years to listen to that garbage! Music died in 1975.

Its so sad that it still always goes back to a black white thang. Its 2009 wit a black president all of this black white shit shoulda been ended. Yes this girl is nasty for spittin in anyones face and its rude and disrespectful but apparently we've forgotten bout Mike tyson rippin someones ear off, Kanye at the recent VMA's and most memorable the deaths of Jennifer Hudson's family (RIP). So lets not always run back to race and look at the issue thats really at hand. UNEDUCATED ASS PEOPLE.

a person ran up to her swinging and her spitting in the others face stopped his violent ooutburst ? question does she have body guards and if she did they probably stopped the guy from punching her while she spit in his face? fucking camel
