Da Brat was assigned a new zip code, Dekalb County Prison, for three years on Friday for assault. The recordings artist was sentenced to three years in Dekalb County prison for hitting a hostess in the head with a rum bottle during an altercation at a suburban Atlanta nightclub last fall. The Chicago native graduated from Kenwood Academy, Hyde Park, Chicago in 1992.

Da Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, 34-year-old rapper, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in DeKalb County today. Superior Court Judge Gail Flake sentenced her to three years behind bars, seven years on probation, 200 hours of community service , the completion of substance abuse treatment, mental evaluation and anger management classes.

The altercation occurred during a private Halloween party at Studio 72. Studio 72 is a  club located in Tucker. Da Brat struck then-Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Shayla Stevens, who was working part-time as a hostess in the club.

This is not the first time Da Brat was charged with assault. In 2000, she was arrested for pistol whipping another female who had refused to leave the VIP lounge at Atlanta’s Chili Pepper nightclub.

A police report indicated Harris and Stevens got into a squabble after they bumped into each other. Stevens walked away and moments later was hit in the face with the bottle.

Shayla Stevens sustained a deep cut to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, and has a permanent scar on her face as a result, officials said.
