Dizzee Rascal’s ex-fiancee has said she left the rapper because of “domestic abuse”, a court has heard.

The rapper, whose real name is Dylan Kwabena Mills, denies assaulting Cassandra Jones at a residential property in Streatham, south London, on 8 June last year, as they argued about their children after their break-up.
