'Love And Hip Hop Hollywood' Cast Members: Yung Berg Breaks Silence On Alleged Attack Against Masika Tucker, 'I Respect Her' [VIDEO]
Yung Berg has broken his silence after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend and Love & Hip Hop Hollywood co-star Masik Tucker.
The rapper, producer and reality star took to his Instagram page to make his first statement since the reported attack that took place earlier this month.
He shared a portion of the interview Tucker conducted with Sister 2 Sister magazine. In particular it was the section in which Tucker set the record straight that Yung Berg did not "attack" or "beat me up."

"It was not an abuse situation," she said.
Yung Berg included the caption, "I won't be commenting further because I respect masika and I take this matter very seriously I wanna thank everyone who's supported me through this situation".
News of the incident hit the Internet Nov. 5. It took place just after the couple taped the Love & Hip Hop Hollywood reunion in New York City. According to TMZ, the two were out to dinner when Yung Berg's card was declined. He stormed out of the restaurant and went up to their hotel room. Tucker then paid the bill before she went to confront Yung Berg for leaving her hanging. It is said that is when he got physical by grabbing her neck and hurling her on the bed before pulling her away from the room by her hair.
He was taken into custody for "obstruction of breathing."
The site also obtained the police report in which Tucker claimed, "he hit me and dragged me by my hair. He pinned me to the wall and grabbed me by my throat."
She reportedly had deep cuts on various portions of her body including her right forearm, just above her left eyebrow, neck and chest.
