Cops plan to charge rascally rapper Busta Rhymes with assault after he allegedly beat up an employee the day after Christmas, law-enforcement sources said.

The hip-hop star, who is out of the country, will be hit with charges when he returns after New Year’s Day, the sources said.

His lawyer, Robert Kalina, did not return a message left at his home.

The bust-up allegedly took place Dec. 26 in Rhymes’ office at 84 W. Broadway near City Hall. Eddie Hatchett, 39, who worked as one of Rhymes’ drivers, filed a police complaint saying he went to see the rapper at 7 p.m. to collect money he was owed, the sources said.  Instead of taking out his wallet, the rapper put up his fists, Hatchett claimed.  Rhymes landed a number of punches, including one that struck Hatchett’s face and caused a laceration, the driver said.  Read more
