Bow Wow is being accused of physical abuse.

On Sunday (June 30), two of the artist's ex-girlfriends, Kiyomi Leslie and Erica Mena, accused him of physically abusing them throughout their relationships.

"Bro some ni**as you wish you never got involved with. Lord that ni**a is a corn BALL. He keep telling lies on my name and imma embarrass you, your momma, and everybody you deal with! PROMISE," Kiyomi wrote on Twitter. She then referenced a February incident where Bow was arrested following a domestic dispute with her. "I didn’t put my bruises on tv because I don’t have too. The police saw them but when I do put them on the “gram” he gonna have an excuse for how I got them too huh? Lol," Kiyomi continued. "If y’all believe that lame a** ni**a didn’t do NOTHING. Y’all need to be in a mental home with him and his momma... 🥴😴."

The model then alleged that Bow caused her to have a miscarriage with their child. "Bet he won’t tell y’all the police been called out more than that one occasion and his family lied & covered for him that time. He beat me while I was pregnant," she claimed. "Punched me in my stomach & all... lost my baby and still covered for the weak a** ni**a.

Erica then co-signed Kiyomi's tweets, commenting, "Trust. BELIEVE HER! [...] I'm the tough girls so my story was never the truth but y'all see how round 4 played out." She then alleged that Bow also broke his ex Ciara's finger when they dated "years ago so this been on going."

Back in February, Bow was arrested for allegedly engaging in a physical altercation with Kiyomi at his Atlanta apartment, TMZ released footage of the rapper cornering and getting up in her face shortly before police were called to their residence.

In surveillance footage taken from their apartment complex, Bow and Kiyomi are shown taking an elevator up to their unit. However, the two look like anything but a happy couple, as a very angry Bow is shown ripping something from Kyomi's hand, before getting in her face, seemingly berating her. As previously reported, the "Woah" rapper was taken in to police custody on February 2 after an alleged fight between him and his girlfriend broke out. Both Bow, whose real name is Shad Moss, and Kiyomi were arrested at the scene and booked for battery after they each claimed to have been hit by the other.

New details emerged days later, with TMZ reporting that the former couple's fight was over another man. According to the gossip site, Kiyomi called 911 around 4 AM that morning to report Bow for assault. She reportedly told officers that the fight started after the two got home from a party. The reality star claimed that once they were inside Bow's home, he confronted her about talking to another man at the party. In the police report, obtained by TMZ, she claimed things escalated from there as Bow "hit her in the head, pulled her by the hair, dragged her from her bedroom, and told her to get the hell out."

While Bow admitted he was upset about her talking to another guy, telling cops she "disrespected him" by hanging "all over another man's body," he claimed he never put his hands on her. Instead, Bow told police that Kiyomi called him a "b*tch ass n****r," when he complained about her alleged behavior at the party, so he told her to leave their home and placed her bags by the door. That's when Bow said Kiyomi "grabbed a night stand lamp and threw it at him." While he said she missed, he claimed she scratched his face, as shown in his mugshot.

Bow's lawyer, Joe Habachy, later denied his client was the victimizer in the incident, telling People in a statement: "Shad Bow Wow Moss was wrongfully arrested earlier this morning for the first time after being beaten by an out of control intoxicated female, Ms. Leslie Holden, in an Atlanta condominium."
