According to reports, the music diva’s fists ultimately put her in handcuffs.

Law enforcement tells us Chanel, who also appeared on Rob Dyrdek’s “Fantasy Factory,” got into a fight with a girl inside the club. She was promptly booted but when she got outside she started fighting security. Someone involved made a citizen’s arrest and she was held until L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies came, cuffed her and took her in for battery. (TMZ)

Chanel appeared to address the arrest reports on Instagram late Tuesday (August 4).

Last fall, the California diva spoke to SOHH about having an on-screen TV image hurt her music biz hustle.

“Before I was on TV, I feel like I got less people questioning me as a female rapper. Now I feel like having been on TV, people have started to question me as a rapper. I’m on TV shows where I’m happy and laughing the whole time and in my music, I’m a bit more intense and a bit more hard. People are like, ‘Hold up, it’s two different people.’ It’s not that it’s two different people, it’s just two different personalities. If I’m on a comedy show, I’m not going to be on “Ridiculousness” smoking a blunt and kicking it with my homies like I would at home. There’s two different sides of me. I think other than that, people kind of get it after they get to know me. Once people have hung out with me, it’s like, “Okay, I get it!” Until you know me or know more about my life, I think that’s the only thing holding me back.” (SOHH)
