Lady Sovereign was detained in Australia over the weekend after she drunkenly spat at a nightclub doorman. According to Billboard, the self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game" arrived in the country Friday for the Parklife festival tour, and after apparently pounding back a few at the popular Brisbane-area gay nightclub Beat, she was arrested for her loogie altercation.A hysterical Sovereign, born Louise Amanda Harman, was forced to spend the first night of her stay in the slammer. On Saturday, the 23-year-old pled guilty to both assault and disorderly conduct in court. She was fined $400 Australian and forced to pay $200 to the doorman, totaling about $521 USD. Although the judge did not convict the rapper, he schooled her on the "serious health implications" that spitting has in public.
Hours after being reprimanded, Sovereign still managed to make her afternoon slot at the Parklife fest. To have her say in the matter, the pint-sized emcee took to her Twitter account and slammed local law enforcement. "Brisbane police need to go catch some real criminals ... What a waste," she wrote. "Spitting in someone's face is nasty, but how about a guy dressed up as a girl running at you in the toilets and punching you in the head? Yes, that's what happened prior to the spitting. So everyone please stop calling me nasty.
"If you was there you would understand," she further explained. "The transvestite must have been a regular because I didn't see no one dragging his ass out of the club that night."
Aside from the incident, Sovereign wrote that she is "enjoying Australia."
