MIAMI (AP) -- Police say rapper N.O.R.E. was arrested following a fight with a customer at a Miami Beach hamburger restaurant.
The 31-year-old performer was formerly known as Noreaga. His real name is Victor Santiago.
He was arrested early Sunday.
Police say Santiago, of New York, caused a disruption at the Fatburger by yelling at another customer, ripping up a bouquet of flowers and throwing a cup filled with a yellow liquid at the customer.
Authorities said the rapper punched the man in the face, and yelled "Do you know who I am?''
Santiago was charged with misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct. He was taken to the Miami-Dade county jail and released.
