American rap star Busta Rhymes performed at a charity concert just hours after winning a UK court battle to prevent his deportation.

Busta Rhymes will face trial on two assault charges after a New York judge withdrew a plea offer today that would have let the rapper remain free.

Rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested in New York after a man complained that the hip-hop star had beaten him up in a dispute over money, police said.

The teenager allegedly attacked by rapper Busta Rhymes has claimed the star kicked him in the face.
