Popular local singer Aisha Davis is now before the court after she was accused of beating up a co-tenant at her house.

Davis appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday after she was charged with unlawful wounding.

Her attorney entered a not guilty plea when her client appeared before Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey.

The complainant told the court that she and Davis are co-tenants and share a kitchen together at their home. She informed the court that she was assaulted after she had a disagreement over the usage of kitchen utensils and the division of kitchen space.

The complainant further told the court that Davis often spoke in a condecending manner, as if she is a child. She alleged that on the day in question, Davis attacked her and knocked her partially unconscious.

The complainant said that she was also dragged along the ground, pinned to the ground and repeatedly punched in the face while she was on the ground.

The complainant said she was later rescued by her boyfriend who was elsewhere in the house, but came to her aid after he heard the uproar. She said when she regained full consciousness, her boyfriend told her that he had to remove a knife from her attacker's grasp.

The Grants Pen police are said to have been called to the location.

When the matter appeared in court yesterday, the complainant's medical was not yet available so the matter was postponed.

Davis had her bail extended and is to return to court on July 8. She also had to have her fingerprints taken by the police.

Davis was a member of the Ashe Performing Arts Ensemble, however, she is better known for her collaboration hit with Anthony B in 2003, Someone Loves You Honey. She also has a current single with Aidonia called My Heart is Hers.
