Written by djfrosty on May 28, 2025
R&B singer Jaheim, best known for his success in the early 2000s, is facing renewed legal trouble after being arrested on May 1st in Fulton County, Georgia.
He is now charged with six counts of animal cruelty, marking his second arrest for similar offenses in recent years. Authorities claim that several dogs in Jaheim’s care were kept in unacceptable conditions, lacking clean water, proper air circulation, and sanitary environments. The dogs, identified as Tweet, Tip, Taka, Tink, Timber, and Tanger, include four Pit Bull Terriers, a French Bulldog, and a mixed-breed hound.
The NJ singer was taken into custody but released the following day.
This recent arrest comes nearly four years after a previous incident in 2021, when police in Hillsborough, New Jersey, discovered a disturbing scene at his residence. During that investigation, officers found 15 dogs living in poor conditions, with several confined to outdoor crates filled with waste. One of the animals was so severely neglected that it had to be put down.
Inside the home, law enforcement found additional dogs that were malnourished and had no access to food or clean water.
The repeated nature of these incidents has sparked outrage among animal rights advocates, who are calling for stronger accountability. Once celebrated for his soulful voice and chart-topping hits, Jaheim is now drawing public scrutiny for his ongoing legal battles involving the treatment of animals. As the case unfolds, many are left wondering whether he will face harsher consequences this time around.
