The grime artist was given a community order with a 24-week curfew and told to wear an electronic tag.

His seventh studio album E3 AF, which refers to his east London postcode and African heritage, is due out on 30 October. She said: "His concern and only concern was that his children were thriving and had focused on raising his children ... who he wants to have a happy family." She told Mills the incident was made more serious because it was "a violation of the trust and security of the people in an intimate family relationship", it happened in front of children, and it took place "in the victim's home" where "a person is entitled to feel safe". The judge said she was "satisfied" giving him an additional 12-month restraining order was a "necessary and proportionate" measure. After reading pre-sentence reports, she told Mills that he had shown "no remorse for this matter" and "you continue to place the blame on Ms Jones - the victim in this case". Mills had assaulted Ms Jones by pressing his forehead against hers and pushing her to the ground during a "chaotic" row, the trial heard, when he accused her of causing injuries to his arm.

His trial was told that when officers arrived, Mills said “I’m the aggressor”, but he later gave a prepared statement in a police interview denying the allegations and claiming he had been assaulted by Ms Jones.

The grime artist, 37, whose real name is Dylan Mills, was found guilty after a trial of assaulting Cassandra Jones during a “chaotic” row.

She described the assault as “wholly isolated” and “against the unfortunate backdrop of the break-up of a longstanding relationship where children were involved”. “The incident was short-lived and, by the time the police had been called and arrived, Mr Mills was seated outside the address, where he was calm and co-operative at all stages.” And she said the attack happened in front of children and took place “in the victim’s home” where “a person is entitled to feel safe”. The judge said she was “satisfied” it was a “necessary and proportionate” measure. She said “it represents a violation of the trust and security of the people in an intimate family relationship”. She told Mills “there are a number of factors that increase the seriousness of this case”.
