The charges reportedly stem from an incident that took place in January.

It was just a few years ago when Kevin McCall's name was associated with some of the most influential artists in the music industry. Whether he was working on his own music cor penning hits for some of your favorites, McCall had a promising career. He collaborated with Chris Brown, Big Sean, Tank, Trae Tha Truth, Keke Palmer, Tyga, Gucci Mane, J. Valentine, Joe Jonas, and Justin Bieber. McCall began dating America's Top Model winner Eva Marcille and after the two had a daughter together, many thought that this was the making of a Hollywood power couple.

However, soon McCall was in the headlines for less than favorable news. He had public arguments with artists on social media, including his well-publicized beef with Chris Brown. Then, there were accusations of trouble in his relationship with Eva to the extent of a restraining order being issued against him and denial of his parental rights. When things calmed and the dust was settled, fans assumed that McCall was minding his business, working hard, and laying low.

Eva has kept herself busy and now she's a peach holder for Real Housewives of Atlanta. Just last month, the show featured a storyline where she talked briefly about her relationship with McCall, whom she calls her daughter's donor, and how she has had to live in multiple homes because of his stalking behavior.

“Every time I move, he finds me,” Marcille continued. “Because of that, I live in multiple places. Safety is a priority for me.” She also said,  “I still feel a sense of threat. I have had to move five times, and I still feel a sense of uneasiness. He’s just so petty sometimes. I’ve walked outside of my balcony before and he’s been standing in the dark. And it is the scariest feeling ever.”

McCall, who is in a relationship, quickly took to social media to blast his ex, along with her new husband, and deny claims that he's a threat to her. "Show me the Eva Marcille documents Im(I’ll WAIT) its public knowledge right? Let’s start posting my records with these violent claims if you can do that Then You can mute me like R. Kelly But I’m starting to feel We both victims of a modern witchHunt (and N***az is the witches). It’s sad when she gotta keep using my name for her storyline, if I was the husband I would be like 'Real hoe of Atlanta' is you out your mind, or is you still obsessed with your child’s Father? Why is he in our story line so much ain’t I enuff headline for our relationship?”

Now, TheShadeRoom is reporting that McCall has been arrested on charges of domestic abuse, according to documents. They state that he was taken into custody on Monday morning and booked at the Compton Courthouse in Los Angeles. His formal charge is one felony count of injuring a spouse or cohabitant. It allegedly stems from an incident that occurred on January 14, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. His bail is set at $75,000 and his arraignment was scheduled for today. Further details regarding the incident have yet to be made public.
