The artiste born Kelvin Brown was accused of stamping on Deborah Kponyi’s ribs and hitting her back and right hand with an iron rod several times.
He pleaded not guilty after being remanded on Monday.

The prosecution, Chief Superintendent of Police, Patience Mario, said the complainant, Deborah Kponyi, is a trader who has been in a relationship with Kelvyn Boy for more than 10 years. Together, the two have daughters.
According to the prosecution, the “relationship has been full of abuse.”
He said the accused and the complainant used to stay together but the singer packed and left the house to a new place.
The prosecution said one of their children fell sick and needed medical attention, so Ms Kponyi contacted the savings and loan company where they saved money but was told the account was empty.
Chief Supt. Mario said the complainant tried to reach Kelvyn Boy to inform him of the need to take their sick daughter to a hospital for medical attention but to no avail.
