A day after Keyshia Cole allegedly pummeled a woman at the Los Angeles-area condo of Cash Money CEO Birdman, the alleged victim reportedly claims the attack was unprovoked.
According to TMZ, the mysterious woman is Sabrina Mercadel, an employee for Cash Money for over a decade. There’s no word on her actual job title for the label or why she was at Birdman’s place.
An insider told the gossip website that Mercadel was walking out of the bathroom with Cole saw her and went on the attack. The ‘Rick James’ singer purportedly yelled, “What are you doing with my man?!” during the assault. There were also four other people in the condo who may have witnessed the attack, which happened around 5AM PT.
As we previously reported, the alleged victim was left with scratches on her face. Police were eventually called and Cole was promptly arrested and charged with battery. She posted $46,000 bail early Friday morning (Sept. 19).
Cole has not addressed the media about her arrest. However, on her Instagram page, the singer continues to re-post the front cover of her next album ‘The Point of No Return,’ which arrives in stores on Oct. 7. Mercadel’s Twitter page has remain dormant since Sept. 18.
Reps for Cash Money Records has no comment on the matter.
